Xiao Er Tuina (Chinese massage therapy for infants): The Chinese massage therapy (Tuina) is a treatment method of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) with a 2000-year-old history. Today it is practised in Chinese hospitals and its basic elements are applied in many families. Tuina helps with complaints of the musculoskeletal system and further in various internal diseases, and it can be also used for improving your general physical condition. In practice, it can be applied topically and individually. Manual massage techniques are not limited to the soft tissue, but also include the energy channels (meridians) and other points e.g. acupuncture body points.
