What’s Asian Body Work
Asian Body Work (ABT), also called Tuina, is one of the major parts of TCM. It uses the traditional Chinese medical theory of the flow of Qi through the meridians as its basic therapeutic orientation. Through the application of acupressure, massage, manipulation, and chiropractic techniques on the acupuncture points of the body, ABT seeks to establish a more harmonious flow of Qi through the system and allow the body to heal itself naturally.
ABT can treat a variety of diseases and is especially effective for pain and stress/fatigue/anxiety relief. In some cases, ABT is an alternative method that could replace acupuncture. In fact, the incorporation of both therapies can achieve the best clinical results for many conditions.
