Tuina is not just a 'cosmetic' massage, it is deeply restorative, strengthening of mind and body, and 'toning' of the central nervous system
Tuina is pronounced
'Twee-nah'
The use of a cotton white sheet is useful for many reasons; it allows for modesty, and although the client is also fully clothed, it provides extra warmth. It allows the practitioner to see the varying anomalies or imbalances of the muscles and bones. It also avoids friction when the client is massaged with deep Tuina strokes, by avoiding irritation to the hands of the practitioner with the sheet smoothing over rough areas of clothing such as zips, waistbands and buttons.
