Things You Never Knew About Tui Na Massage
Youโre probably familiar with common Western massage techniques like Swedish massage, deep tissue massage, prenatal massage, and sports massage. You may have also heard about Tui Na massage, a Chinese massage modality that is becoming increasingly popular in the United States.
But what exactly is Tui Na massage?
Tui Na (also called Tui-Na or Tuina massage) is a form of bodywork based on the principles of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). Working along meridians (energy channels) throughout the body, the Tui Na practitioner taps into these energy points, using stretches, pressure points, and joint rotations, to balance the bodyโs vital energy (qi).
Tui Na massage sessions usually last been thirty minutes and one hour, and normally take place on a massage table. Tui Na is intended to be both relaxing and invigorating. Some techniques and strokes used in Tui Na are much like those used in a relaxing Swedish massage, such as gliding, kneading, rocking, pulling, friction, and rolling.
