TUI-NA
Tui-na is one of the Five Branches of Traditional Chinese Medicine. Tui-na is Chinese manual therapy used for preventing and treating disease. Tui-na practitioners use various manipulations applied to acupuncture points and meridians and may use special limb stretching movements to prevent and treat disease.
Tui-na can regulate meridians, soothe joints and sinews, promote circulation of Qi and Blood, balance body organs, and strengthen the body's resistance.
"Regulate meridians" means that these manual therapy techniques can regulate the functions of meridians or acupuncture channels. " Soothe joints and sinews" means that Tui-na can soften the local tissues, reduce pain, and lead to realignment of dense connective tissue. "Increased Qi and Blood" circulation leads to a reduction of pain and increased delivery of nutrients to the tissues. "Strengthening the body's resistance refers to the positive benefit that Tui-na has on immune system function.
