uina is well suited for those who need treatment for specific musculoskeletal, chronic, and acute stress-related disorders of the digestive, respiratory, and reproductive systems. Effective treatment protocols have been tested in a practical setting.

Tuina is not especially useful for those seeking a mild, sedating, and relaxing massage since it tends to be more task focused than other types of bodywork.

Contraindications include conditions involving fractures, phlebitis, infectious conditions, open wounds, and lesions.
