Tuina
Tuina is the chinese massage, also called acupressure, used from millennia and still today to cure ailments and diseases. But Tuina is much more than a massage. It is part of traditional chinese medicine together with Acupuncture and Herbs, taught in TCM schools as part and parcel of the student’s curriculum.
The specific characteristic of Tuina is the use of acupressure points, the same used in acupuncture. But instead of needles, hands are used. The main principle of Tuina is to stimulate the meridian system, the channels of energy that run trhough the body, and rebalance the Qi, or vital energy.
Since the meridians go through and are related to the body organs, an imbalance of qi affects the organs themselves and a person’s health. Rebalancing Qi brings the organs to a correct functioning, curing disease. For this reason, Tuina is more than a normal massage, being able to cure a wide range of ailments, from muscular-skeletal to specific diseases.
Tuina massage is remedial, not relaxing. The techniques used include massage,rubbing, kneading, brushing, shaking, vibrations, tractions, manipulations of joints and stimulation of acupressure points.
