Addresses the imbalances in the muscular, joint and meridian systems. Tui Na is a classic Asian style of bodywork based on traditional Chinese medical theory of the flow of Qi through the meridians. The techniques include rhythmic compression along energy channels of the body, as well as a variety of techniques to manipulate and lubricate the joints. Tui Na directly affects the flow of energy by holding and pressing the body at acupressure points. It includes massage techniques to mobilize soft tissue, acupressure techniques to directly affect the flow of Qi and manipulation techniques to realign musculoskeletal and ligamentous relationships to establish a more balanced flow of Qi.
