Tuina is a hands-on body treatment that uses Chinese Daoist and martial arts principles to bring the body to balance. From a traditional Chinese medical rational, Tuina dredges the channels and collaterals (which are often incorrectly translated as meridians) and removes stagnation so qi and body fluids are stimulated.
A Tuina practitioner may brush, knead, roll, press and rub muscular areas between joints. The practitioner can then use range of motion, traction and massage along with the stimulation of acupressure points; this is claimed to treat both acute and chronic muculoskeletal conditions, as well as many nonmusculoskeletal conditions.
