With Tui-Na massage, the TCM practitioner influences the meridians and their side channels using many different techniques. The focus is on Tui, pushing, and Na, pinching. These are the two most important hand techniques of Tui-Na massage.
Tui-Na massage cannot be compared with any other known massage. This is also why in China the technique is only performed by trained doctors, not by therapists.
