Why Tuina Anmo - what is the difference to the western bodywork?The Chinese word for traditional manual therapy is Tuina-Anmo (TNAM), which is named after four important techniques: push-pull, lift, press and touch. TNAM is one of the five branches of TCM. The other four are acupuncture, herbal medicine, food therapyand Qi Gong.
