Chinese herbal medicine is a very important part of traditional Chinese medicine. Its written history dates back 2,500 years, but herbal medicine has been practiced much longer than that. In China, traditional herbal remedies are still the backbone of medicine.

Tuina ( pronounced as "Twee-naa") is a form of manual medicine, which has been used widely in traditional medicine clinics and hospitals in China for thousands of years. Tuina doctors in China perform the work of massage, acupressure, chiropractic and physical therapy combined. The techniques can be superficial and gentle or they can be deep and penetrating. Tuina is used to promote circulation, heal soft tissues and sports injuries, reset the relationship between bones and their surrounding tissues, increase joint flexibility, and balance yin-yang function of internal organs.
