Acupressure | Tui Na
Tui Na is a medical bodywork therapy, one of the pillars of Chinese medicine, along with acupuncture, herbs and Qi Gong. Tui na works directly on muscles, ligaments, joints, and connective tissue. Tui Na treatments involve a range of massage techniques, passive stretching/ traction and cupping to accelerate the healing and recovery of joints, muscles, and ligaments. It increases circulation and reduces pain and swelling. In one form or another, pain arises from stagnation. Stagnation is the root of illness. Tui Na stimulates greater circulation in the body to remove or lessen stagnation and increase healthy functioning.
