Tui Na (Deep Manipulation Massage) is China's premier massage, which forms part of TCM - Traditional Chinese Medicine. It is a medical massage which is used in the majority of hospitals in China and incorporates techniques of Chinese massage, Chiropractic, Osteopathy, Physiotherapy and Chinese Acupressure, using a mixture of pressing, tapping, and kneading with palms, fingertips, knuckles or implements that help the body to remove blockages along the meridians of the body to promote healing, similar to principles of acupuncture, moxibustion, and acupressure. 

Tui Na was developed for healing, not for relaxation and enjoyment, it is a very firm and vigorous massage that maybe a little unpleasant if you have damaged tissues. After answering some brief questions about the nature and location of the health problem as well as basic questions about general health, allergies and other existing conditions, the practitioner will concentrate on specific acupressure points, energy trigger points, muscles and joints surrounding the affected area. Tui Na is performed using various massage techniques lifting, stretching, stroking, pushing and grasping. through a cotton sheet. Chris will massage the body's soft tissue "muscles and tendons" with his hands and then use fingers, knuckles and elbows applied to acupressure points accompanied by joint manipulation, to affect the flow of qi and realign the body.

The procedure maybe performed prone "lying face-down", supine "laying on your back or in a seated position.
