Acupressure (Tuina) therapist: Acupressure therapy has been used in China for 2,000 years. Tuina (Tui Na) uses the traditional Chinese medical theory of the flow of Qi through the meridians as its basic therapeutic orientation. Through the application of massage and manipulation techniques, Tuina (Tui Na) seeks to establish a more harmonious flow of Qi through the system of channels and collaterals, allowing the body to heal itself naturally. Tuina (Tui Na) methods include the use of hand techniques to massage the soft tissue (muscles and tendons) of the body, acupressure techniques to directly affect the flow of Qi, and manipulation techniques(bone-setting) to realign the musculoskeletal and ligamentous relationships. External herbal poultices, compresses, liniments, and salves are also used to enhance the other therapeutic methods. Reflexology/zonetheraphy practitioner: During a reflexology/zonetherapy massage, the practitioner pushes and squeezes acupuncture points on the patient’s feet, hands, and ears. Through the sensitivity of the different areas on the feet, the condition of the patient’s skin and the degree of muscle tension, the practitioner forms a specialized treatment for the patient based on his individual health. Reflexology stimulates the body’s Qi (chi) energy and gives it a more harmonious flow so the body can heal itself and improve general health.
