Tui-Na Massage
TUI-NA (Thearapeutic TCM Massage)
The term Tui-Na (pronounced "twee naw"), which literally means "pinch and pull," refers to a wide range of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) therapeutic massage and bodywork. Tui-Na is not generally used for pleasure and relaxation, but rather as a treatment to address specific patterns of disharmony in the body.
The theoretical basis of Tui-Na therapy is guided by the meridian theory of traditional Chinese medicine. Massage therapy is suitable for the elderly, youth, children, women, including pregnant women.
Practitioners use various techniques, including kneading, pressing, rolling, and stretching. Huang Di Nei Jing, a famous ancient Chinese medical text from between the 1st century B.C.E. and the 1st century C.E., is the first known document to define tui-na massage. It contains records describing the use of massage techniques to treat certain diseases.
