Tui Na is one of the four
main branches of
Chinese Medicine; along with herbal
medicine,
acupuncture and Qi Gong. Tui Na dates back
4700 years making it the forefather of all forms
of
massage and body work that exist today.
Tui Na differs from other forms of massage in
that
it is
used to treat specific illnesses of an
internal nature
as well as musculoskeletal
ailments. It is essential for
a Tui Na practitioner
to have a clear understanding of
the rationale of
Chinese Medicine.
It is also the first
choice of
treatment for infants
and children.
