Why is Tuina Massage Therapy a Cure Disease? This is a question that many readers and patients want to know, and it is also the knowledge that should be mastered when learning Tuina massage therapy. The therapeutic principles of Tuina Massage Therapy are mainly based on some related theories of Chinese medicine and modern medicine.

1. Principles of Chinese Medicine

(1) Adjust the function of the viscera and enhance the body's resistance: Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the meridians are the channels through which the body's qi and blood circulate, and have the function of communicating the upper and lower parts of the body and connecting the internal organs. Acupuncture points are the reaction of the meridians on the surface of the human body. Through the connection of meridians, the pathological changes of the viscera can be reflected on the human body surface. External evils can invade the body surface through the meridians and enter the internal organs, and various stimuli received by the body surface can also be transmitted to the internal organs. Tuina massage therapy treats diseases by stimulating certain acupuncture points, relying on the conduction of meridians.

(2) Dredging meridians, promoting qi and invigorating blood: Meridians are composed of meridians and meridians. Among them, the meridians are composed of the twelve canons and the eight strange meridians. The 3 yin meridians of the hand run from the chest to the inside of the upper limb to the hand; The 3 yang meridians of the hand follow from the outside of the hand to the head; The 3 yin meridians of the foot run from the inside of the foot to the abdomen; The 3 yang meridians of the foot run from the outside of the head to the foot. They all follow the head, face, trunk, limbs and internal organs of the human body in a certain direction, and are the main part of the meridian system. The Du and Ren meridians in the eight veins of the Qi Jing play the role of controlling the yang meridian and the yin meridian respectively, and these two meridians are combined into the twelve meridians and are collectively called the fourteen meridians. Tuina massage stimulates the meridian acupuncture points, dredges the meridians, and activates qi and blood.

(3) "Pain as Yu" and "Pain Point Transfer": Tuina massage therapy is mainly to apply various techniques to the pain points, gradually eliminate the "pain points", get rid of diseases, and tend to be healthy. Methods such as upper and lower treatment, left and right treatment, and meridian acupoints can also be used to make the pain at the place of operation exceed the pain of the lesion itself, so as to reduce or eliminate the pain and achieve the purpose of treatment.

2. Principles of modern medicine

(1) Improve blood circulation: stimulating tender points can improve blood circulation in the lesion area, accelerate the local and body metabolism, enhance the regeneration ability of tissue cells in the lesion area, and promote functional recovery.

(2) Improve neuromodulation function: acupressure stimulates local neuroreceptors and conducts them to the central nervous system, which is then "processed" by the central nervous system and transmitted to the stimulation site to adapt to the stimulation. The stimulation of acupuncture points exceeds or inhibits the "influence" produced by pain, and the effect of "new pain is better than old pain, and short pain is better than long pain", so as to achieve the purpose of analgesia.

(3) Release of endorphins: Stimulation of acupuncture points can cause brain tissue to release a substance called endorphins. This substance can bind to morphine receptors in brain tissue to produce an analgesic effect similar to that of injected morphine, thus achieving analgesic purposes.
