Massage is used as supplementary modality to increase the flow of qi and blood within the meridians, and release tension in the musculoskeletal system of the body. The name comes from two words: “Tui”, which means “to push”, and “Na”, translated as “To grab or squeeze,” which together serve to describe the actions being utilized in this modality. Within this category of massage, there are several techniques which can be used, including rolling, finger springing, kneading, rocking, and slapping, all in an effort to increase the free flow of qi and regulate blood circulation. Patients are typically clothed during a massage, and is ideal for those suffering from chronic pain disorders.

In addition to Tui-Na, other massage modalities can be substituted, including Swedish and Deep Tissue, if indicated and upon request.
