The words Tui Na translate into "push-grasp" or "poke-pinch" in Chinese.
Physically, it is a series of pressing, tapping, and kneading with palms, fingertips, knuckles or implements that help the body to remove blockages along the meridians of the body and stimulates the flow of qi and blood to promote health, similar to principles of acupuncture, moxibustion, and acupressure.
Tuina's massage-like techniques range from light stroking to deep-tissue work which could be considered too vigorous for a recreational or relaxing massage. Nevertheless they are highly effective!
Similar techniques date at least as early as the Shang Dynasty,
around 1700 BC.
