The
name tui na is translated from Chinese to mean “push and grasp”. Tui Na
shares the same importance in China’s hospitals as Acupuncture and Herbs.
The classic writings from Chinese Medicine, such as the 2,000 year old Nei
Jing, tui na’s concept, theory and application are discussed in detail.
Tui Na differs from other forms of massage in that it treats a specific
illnesses as well as musculoskeletal conditions.
The theory of Tui Na lies in the yin and yang symbol. All diseases and disharmonies are due to an imbalance of the yin and yang energies within the body. Tui Na uses acupuncture points and meridians, stimulating and moving energy. As a Licensed Acupuncturist, Kerry Jenni incorporates Tui Na medical massage into her treatments as indicated.

Tui Na is especially useful for infants and children, who often take to the treatment well and require few sessions.
