Tuina literally means pulling and grasping. This form of manual therapy is especially good at treating musculo - skeletal diseases. It is used to relieve muscle spasms, realign musculo-skeletal structures, and promote muscle recovery. 

Tuina can be used as a stand alone treatment or in combination with acupuncture. 

Tuina works much like acupuncture in that it increases blood circulation to promote recovery to injured tissues, it breaks up scarring and adhesions and the realignment aspect brings your skeletel system back into alignment  through slow manipulations and stretching.
