Tuina Anmo
Tuina Anmo is a method of Chinese Massage that utilizes soft tissue manipulation,
acupoints, and structural re-alignment methods to treat a wide variety of musculo-skeletal
and internal organ disorders. It uses traditional Chinese medical theory of the flow
of Qi through the channels as its basic therapeutic principle. Through various techniques
Tuina seeks to increase the circulation of Qi and Blood in order to promote healing
and relieve pain. Passive joint movements are also used to restore complete function
to muscles and joints.
As with all types of massage, most of the effects of Tuina occur through its function
of stimulating the flow of Qi, Blood, and body fluids. Many health problems are caused
by blockages of these vital fluids. Tuina can re-establish the proper flow of these
fluids and the function of the body and promote the recovery of damaged tissues.
