Tui Na
Tui Na (pronounced twee-na) is part of TCM (Traditional Chinese Medicine). It is a vigorous and deep massage, which is performed through loose clothing. This form of massage works on a network of energy flows, which flow throughout the body and these are called meridians.
Tui Na works on the meridians and specific points along them to help the flow of energy. The specific points are where a needle would be inserted if Acupuncture was being used but in Tui Na the practitioner may use thumbs, knuckles, fingertips and elbows to palpate the point.This form of massage is not only good for the muscles and joints, but also at a deeper level, with profound effects on all aspects of your well being, the emotional, physical, intellectual and spiritual.
