It is an energetic massage inspired by the principles of Chinese medicine. Tuinà uses the acupuncture points to provide energy and help recover vital forces by involving the heart, the body, and the mind in a profound physical, emotive, and empathetic contact. Through effleurage, kneading, pulling, rotation, and over forty different types of active and passive movement, the technique can reduce muscular contractions, mobilize articular areas, and reach the sphere of the emotions.
