The result is to balance the eight principles of Traditional Chinese Medicine. 

They are:

Interior/Exterior

Hot/Cold

Full/Empty

Yin/Yang

The practitioner may brush, knead, roll, press, and rub the areas between each of the joints, known as the eight gates in TCM. All the hand movement will attempt to help the flowing energy in the body. 

The practitioner can then use range of motion, traction, with the stimulation of acupressure points. These techniques are claimed to aid in the treatment of both acute and chronic musculoskeletal conditions, as well as many non-musculoskeletal conditions. 

Tui Na provides pain relief from sore and injured muscles. 

The techniques improve blood flow to areas, which facilitates health and gets rid of lactic acid buildup. The techniques also help produce a calm and relaxing mood. 

You don’t have to have injured or sore muscles to get a Tui Na. It is a great way for people to rejuvenate and soothe themselves psychologically from stress.
