Tui na is a hands-on-body treatment using acupressure that is
a modality of Chinese medicine whose purpose is to bring the body into
balance. The practitioner may brush, knead, roll/press and rub the
areas between each of the joints (known as the eight gates) to open the
body's defensive (wei) chi and get the energy moving in both the
meridians and the muscles. .In ancient China, medical therapy was often classified into
"external" and "internal" treatments. Tui na was one of the external
methods, especially suitable for use on the elderly population and on
infants. Today it is subdivided into specialized treatment for infants,
adults, orthopedics, traumatology, cosmetology, rehabilitation, sports
medicine, etc. Tui na has been used extensively in China for over 2,000
years.
Tui na has fewer side effects than modern drug-based and
chemical-based treatments. It has been used to treat or complement the
treatment of many conditions; musculo-skeletal disorders and chronic
stress-related disorders of the digestive, respiratory, and
reproductive systems. |
