Tui Na or Chinese massage can be translated by "push" and "grasp" which are manipulations methods used by the practitioner. Tui Na has been used for more than 2000 years has a way to help balance out the flow of energy (Qi) within the channels of the body. It is often used in conjunction with acupuncture or by itself. It uses acupressure points and really is very therapeutic just as Western Massage Therapy is. If you've never tried Tui Na, it will surprise you, it's like getting a yoga session combined with a deep-tissue massage: relaxing yet invigorating.
