TuiNa (Chinese medical massage) is a treatment that is becoming increasingly popular in the west.
Although relatively new to the West, Tuina's roots go back a long way and throughout its history it has been studied, developed, refined and systematized in the medical colleges and hospitals of China.
Tuina has fewer side effects than modern chemo-synthetic treatments. It has been used to treat or complement the treatment of many conditions - musculo-skeletal disorders and chronic stress-related disorders of the digestive, respiratory, and reproductive systems in particular.
Although sometimes dismissed in the past as "too simple to work", Tuina has stood the test of time and stands now as a complete system of treatment in its own right.
