Tuina Massage

推拿

Warring States period (5th–2nd century BCE)

Tuina is a form of Chinese therapeutic massage that uses rhythmic compression, kneading, and manipulation along the body's energy meridians. Unlike relaxation massage, tuina is a medical treatment used for musculoskeletal conditions, stress disorders, and pediatric ailments. Techniques include pressing (an), kneading (rou), rolling (gun), and joint manipulation. It has been practiced for over 2,000 years and is covered by China's national health insurance.
