What is Tui Na?
At Golden Hands Chinese Bodywork in Pittsburgh, we specialize in Tui-Na massage therapy, a form of Chinese bodywork treatment often used in conjustion acupressure, hot stone tharapy, and reflexology. This technique is widely used to balance the yin and yang through traditional Chinese medicine principles.
Tui-Na massage uses brush, knead, roll, and rub motions to move energy within the meridians and muscles targeting and reducing pain through deep tissue massage. From there, the practitioner can then use different methods such as traction, acupressure, motion, and massage to treat alternate conditions such as back and neck pain, headaches, stress, and tension.
Throughout antiquity, traditional Chinese Medicine has always be closely related with Tui-Na techniques. It is taught in many TCM schools as part of the Oriental medicine training. It is also taught for the treatment of pain and injury with sports therapy.
When it comes to modern drug based treatments, Tui-Na has much less side effects. This form of massage therapy has been used to treat muscular-skeletal and chronic disorders of the reproductive, respiratory, and digestive systems.

Since this technique was developed over 2,000 years ago, it has progressed into the treatment for many more forms of therapy such as, orthopedics, rehabilitation, sports medicine, etc…
Before Tui-Na, the first reference to this type of external treatment was called "anwu" (later changed to “anmo”). Once it gained popularity it started to develop and gain structure, adding a bone-setting deep manipulation specialty, and thus creating what we now call Tui-Na.

This occupation is very appropriate for people with physical disabilities, especially blind people as it can heighten their sense of touch.
