Tuina massage originated in ancient China and is believed to be the oldest system of bodywork. “Tui” is to push, and “Na” is to lift and squeeze. It’s based on the theory that any imbalances of qi (energy), can cause blockages that lead to pain and illness. This type of massage stimulates the flow of qi to promote balance and harmony within the body using many of the same principles of acupuncture. It’s similar to acupuncture in the way it targets specific acupoints, but practitioners use fingers instead of needles to apply pressure to stimulate these points.

At times, tuina massage may be done using oil with hand to skin contact which creates a very relaxing feeling. Muscles are targeted to relieve pain, discomforts and for relaxation.
