Tuina is a traditional Chinese medicine natural therapy and physical therapy. Doctors use their own hands to act on the surface of the patient's body, the injured area, the location of discomfort, specific acupoints, and painful areas. They use various techniques such as pushing, holding, pressing, rubbing, kneading, pinching, pointing, and patting to achieve the goal of unblocking meridians, promoting qi and blood, relieving pain, dispelling evil and supporting the body, and harmonizing yin and yang.

For a long time, some scholars have praised it as the "elder medical skill". Tuina, as a method of treating people, has evolved from the concepts of rubbing, pressing, and massaging. It is not only a change in terminology, but also the result of the continuous summarization, innovation, and development of physicians engaged in tuina medicine for thousands of years. Tuina is an ancient Chinese method of treating injuries and is an integral part of traditional Chinese medicine. Tuina is a method in which doctors use their hands to apply different forces, techniques, and skills to stimulate specific parts of the patient's body in order to restore or improve the vitality of the body and promote the recovery of the condition. It is a method of "treating people with people" and belongs to a type of natural therapy that is revered. Due to its simple method without side effects and good therapeutic effect, it has been continuously developed, enriched and improved in China for thousands of years. Especially in the past forty years, the study of traditional Chinese medicine by Western medicine and the establishment of traditional Chinese medicine colleges have played a huge role in the development and improvement of the traditional Chinese medicine industry. Some research institutions have started to study the mechanism of tuina and have achieved preliminary results, which is a great promotion for tuina. Many countries in the world attach great importance to traditional Chinese medicine. It is reported that countries such as the United States, the United Kingdom, Italy, France, Germany, North Korea, Japan, the Philippines, Singapore, Thailand, Malaysia, India, Sweden, Spain, Vietnam, and Argentina have come to China to study. Some also hire Chinese experts to go abroad and establish study classes. This indicates that Chinese massage techniques for treating diseases have received worldwide attention.
