Tuina is one of the oldest and simplest forms of healing arts in the world. In ancient Greece and Rome, as well as in India and China, massage was employed to treat a variety of ailments. For instance, the earliest records from ancient China, dating back to around 2700 BC, indicate that massage was used to alleviate conditions such as labor pain and paralysis. Additionally, images discovered in the ancient Egyptian pyramids depict figures receiving massages. Ayurveda, the traditional Indian system of medicine, incorporates therapeutic massage with aromatic oils and spices for healing purposes. Furthermore, ancient Greek and Roman soldiers, warriors, and heroes received daily massages to address nerve pain.

Today, we have many types of massage, yet they all offer similar benefits. Massage therapy can help:
