Healing Journeys: Tui Na
The Modality
This article looks at my first experience with Tui Na with Joseph Carter. Tui Na is a type of bodywork that follows the principles and theories of Traditional Chinese Medicine. Literally translating as “push and grasp,” Tui Na is sometimes referred to as Chinese Meridian Massage.
The Session
I went into this session without expectations—I knew nothing about Tui Na before this experience. Joseph immediately made me comfortable; his easy smile and kind eyes put me at ease and his propensity for puns had me laughing in no time.
