Tui Na therapy is one of the oldest healing arts. The therapeutic massage branch of traditional Chinese medicine, is called "tuina" in modern Chinese, which literally means pushing and grasping. However, this term did not occur in the Chinese literature, until the Ming dynasty 1368-1644, where it first appeared in a book on pediatric tuina a branch of Chinese massage. Prior to this period, the most popular term for therapeutic massage was anmo, which means pressing and rubbing.

Anmo has played an important role, in the practice of medicine in China since ancient times. Archeologists, studying the inscriptions, found on bones and tortoise shells used in divination practice, have found references to massage treatment for illnesses written in jiaguwen, the earliest extant form of writing in China, dating back to as early as the Shang Dynasty .Today, the benefits of massage are varied, and far-reaching, Tui Na is in the front line of healthcare, in Chinese hospitals today, and in the west as an accepted part of many physical rehabilitation programs, oriental massage therapy has also proven beneficial for many chronic conditions, including low back pain, arthritis, bursitis, fatigue, high blood pressure, diabetes, immunity suppression, infertility, smoking cessation, depression, and more.

Massage, Tuina bodywork and somatic therapies, are defined as the application of various techniques to the muscular structure, and soft tissues of the human body.

Bodywork: Various forms of touch therapies, that may use manipulation, movement, and/or repatterning to affect structural changes to the body.
Somatic: Meaning “of the body.” Many times this term is used to denote a body/mind or whole-body approach as distinguished from a physiology-only or environmental perspective.
