Tui Na

Tui Na is another pillar of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) and is a Chinese medical massage technique that stimulates flow of vital information through each meridian in the body.  It is more vigorous than swedish or deep tissue massage.  It is a form of body manipulation and is usually the first method of treatment in TCM, in hospitals in China.  

It is based on the theory that imbalances of Qi can give rise to dis-ease.  With the correct application of Tui Na, one might not need an invasive approach such as acupuncture or moxa.
