Experience

Tui Na Practitioner

Tui Na (pronounced 'twee-nah') is probably the oldest system of bodywork still practised yet is still relatively unknown in the UK. It is one of the five branches of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), the others being acupuncture, herbal medicine, dietary and qi gong.

The techniques of Tui Na and details of its uses in treating a range of health problems are already documented in a vast treatise - The Yellow Emperor's Classics of Internal Medicine, written about 2500 years ago. After such a lengthy period of development and evolution, modern Tui Na is probably the most tried and tested hands-on therapy in the world.
