Tui na (pronounced “twee na”) is the medical massage of Traditional Chinese Medicine. It is sometimes referred to as referred to as "acupressure" because the tuina practitioner uses the hands to press on key points on the surface of the body (along the Jing Luo – acupuncture channels – and acupuncture points) to stimulate the body’s own natural healing process. When these points are stimulated they release tension and increase the body’s circulation of Qì, Xuè (blood) and nutrients to bring about the body’s own natural healing process.
