What is Tui-Na?

Tui-Na is the oldest known system of massage. Originating in China, it is recorded in the Yellow Emperor’s Classic of Internal medicine since 2300 B.C. Tui-Na has remained an organized and systematically developed system of massage since that time.

It uses the Traditional Chinese edical theory of channels and collaterals (meridians or pathways) and the flow of the Chi energy as its basic therapeutic orientation. Through the application of massage and manipulation techniques, Tui-Na seeks to establish a more harmonious Chi energy through the system of channels and collaterals, allowing the body to naturally heal itself.
