Chinese Massage

Introduction:
Chinese massage, also called tuina, is an oriental bodywork therapy that has been used in China for 2,000 years. Tuina uses the traditional Chinese medical theory of the flow of Qi, or air, through the body as its basic therapeutic principle. Through the application of massage and manipulation techniques, Tuina seeks to establish a more harmonious flow of Qi allowing the body to naturally heal itself.
