Tui NA is an Oriental Bodywork Therapy that has been
used in China for 2,000 years. Tui NA uses the traditional
Chinese medical theory of the flow of Qi through the
meridians as its basic therapeutic orientation. Through
the application of massage and manipulation techniques
Tui NA seeks to establish a more harmonious flow of
Qi through the system of channels and collaterals,
allowing the body the naturally heal itself. Tui NA
methods include the use of hand techniques to massage
the soft tissue (muscles and tendons) of the body,
acupressure techniques to directly affect the flow
of Qi, and manipulation techniques to realign the
musculoskeletal and ligaments relationships (bone-setting).
Tui NA has a variety of different systems that emphasize
particular aspects of these therapeutic principles.
The main schools in China include the rolling method
school which emphasizes soft tissue techniques and
specializes in joint injuries and muscle sprains,
the one finger pushing method school which emphasizes
techniques for acupressure and the treatment of internal
diseases, and Nei Gung method school which emphasizes
the use of Nei Gong Qi energy generation exercises
and specific massage methods for revitalizing depleted
energy systems, and the bone setting method school
which emphasizes manipulation methods to realign the
musculoskeletal and ligaments relationships and specializes
in joint injuries and nerve pain. In a typical session,
the client, wearing loose clothing and no shoes, lies
on a table mat. The practitioner examines the specific
problems of the client and begins to apply a specific
treatment protocol. The major focus of application
is upon specific pain sites, acupressure points, energy
meridians, and muscles and joints. Sessions last from
45 minutes to 1 hour. Depending on the specific problems
of the client, they may return for additional treatments.
The client usually feels relaxed but energized by
the treatment. Tui NA is now being popularized in
China and the whole world as a powerful therapeutic
extension of traditional western massage methods.
