[Tui-Na, an oriental massage].
Tui-Na is an oriental massage whose principles are based on traditional Chinese medicine. This medicine conceives a person as one entire entity giving as much importance to emotional and physical aspects as to everything that surrounds a person, including climate, social relationships, diet. This philosophy believes that an individual will achieve his/her ideal health state when he/she has found interior harmony and is in balance with all his/her environment. From this viewpoint, this philosophy understands pathology as an unbalance or a lack of harmony in an organism. Tui-Na massage is one of the techniques which make use of traditional Chinese medicine to maintain, or to recuperate, an organism's balance.
