推拿
推拿 (tuīná) is a traditional Chinese therapeutic massage technique that focuses on promoting health and relieving pain. It involves various hand movements, such as kneading, pressing, and rolling, to stimulate the body's energy flow, known as 气 (qì). This practice is often used to treat musculoskeletal issues, improve circulation, and enhance overall well-being.
In addition to physical benefits, 推拿 is also believed to help balance the body's 阴阳 (yīn yáng) energies. Practitioners may use it in conjunction with other traditional Chinese medicine methods, such as 针灸 (zhēnjiǔ) or herbal remedies, to provide a holistic approach to health care.
