to perform tuina; to treat by manipulation (pushing, grasping, lifting, pinching, kneading) along meridians and acupoints
technicalA core therapeutic modality in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM).

Practitioners use systematic hand techniques including tui (pushing), na (grasping), ti (lifting), nie (pinching), and rou (kneading).
