Tui na is a Chinese bodywork therapy based on Chinese medical theory and is an integral part of TCM. It has been used in China for over 2000 years. The functions of tui na include opening the body’s defensive (wei) qi, to get the energy moving in both the meridians and the muscles, and to promote the flow of qi through the meridians. It is widely used for the treatment of specific musculoskeletal disorders and chronic stress-related disorders of the digestive system.
