Tuina or tui-na (pronounced twee-nah) bodywork originated in ancient China and is believed to be the oldest system of bodywork. It’s one of the four main branches of traditional Chinese medicine.
The goal of tuina bodywork is to harmonize the yin and yang of the body by eliminating blockages and disturbances that present as illness, disease, and emotional issues.
Similar to acupuncture, tuina bodywork utilizes the same energetic meridians and acupoints to balance the qi and blood in the body, promoting better health. Incorrectly flowing qi can lead to blockages, such as poor blood circulation in the affected area.
The primary therapeutic objective of tuina massage is to alleviate the energetic blocks that lead to qi stagnation.

Some techniques are more yin, which is more gentle, passive, and meditative. The yang approach is more active, dynamic, and physical, creating more intense sensations by stimulating deep blockages and knots.
The practitioner works the muscles and tendons and uses manipulation techniques to realign the body. Passive joint movements are used to restore function to muscles and joints.
Tuina bodywork uses techniques such as acupressure, myofascial release, and reflexology. Sometimes, techniques that are common to osteopathy and chiropractic, such as stretching and joint mobilizations, are also used during a session.
