What is Tui Na?

Tui Na (pronounced twee-nah) is the external treatment method within Chinese medicine.

Tui means to "push," while Na is to "Grasp." The techniques of Tui Na can be documented as far back as 2500 years ago in The Yellow Emperor's Classic of Internal Medicine.

In modern times, it is used in more common treatments like Shiatsu and Swedish Massage.

The Tui Na version, often used with Acupuncture, combines Moxibustion and Cupping Therapy. 

What Are The Benefits of Tui Na?

Tui Na helps in acute and chronic muscular pain conditions and is an effective method for health conditions especially effective for:

• joint pain

• arthritis

• sciatica

• pain in the back, neck, and shoulders

• insomnia

• headaches/migraines

Treatment can be either firm or gentle and involves eight basic techniques used in Tui Na:

• palpating (mo)

• rejoining (jie)

• opposing (duan)

• lifting (ti)

• pressing (an)

• kneading (mo)

• pushing (tui)

• holding (na)

As with other Traditional Chinese Medicine treatments, Tui Na may prevent problems, not just correct them.

Keeping the body's energy balanced maintains physical, mental, and emotional well-being.
