Tui Na therapy is a form of Chinese massage, it has some similar methods as other massage modalities but also incorporates the channels / meridians into its overall treatment spectrum, thus acupuncture points are presses and rubbed for therapeutic affects along with other methods such as rubbing, kneading, pushing, pulling, rolling, etc. The goal of Tui Na is to check and assist range of motion, untangle knotted muscles and tendons, warm the body and promote circulation of blood and fluids (lymph and other non blood substances) by literally pushing and kneading out congealed capillary beds and dense muscles and tissues.
