Chinese Tui Na was called massage or 'An Mo' in ancient times. Archeological studies in recent years have shown detailed records of therapeutic techniques used from 2700 BC.

As in any massage, the treatment depends on the individual's needs. Tui Na techniques range from gentle pressure, which might allieviate stress-related conditions, to strong and deep movements often found in sports massage. It also may include acupressure points, promoting greater response to treatment.
