Tui-Na

Tui-na is translated into English as acupressure. Some might call it Chinese Massage. However it is much more than that. It includes massage, but massage is only relaxing the muscles to help the qi flow in the patient better. It also includes pressing on pressure points or acupoints to open the qi flow even more. Sometimes in tui na, it is important to do back adjustments and other techniques. The main goal is to get the qi to flow through blockages in the body. It is similar to acupuncture in many ways, without the needles. So if you are afraid of needles, try tui na.
