Tui Na (pronounced "twee nah", literally means push and grab) is a bodywork developed in China over 3,000 years ago. A combination of massage, acupressure and stretching, Tui Na works by applying pressure to acu-points, meridians and groups of muscles or nerves to remove blockages that prevent the free flow of energy (Qi). The work is done entirely with the practitioner's hands to help increase the beneficial flow of Qi through the patient's meridian system.

There is more than 120 mins of useful information, equipping you with the knowledge and confidence to work with the following internal and external disorders.
  • Internal: Zang fu disharmonies, Blood and chi stagnations
  • External: Cervical spondylosis, frozen shoulder, RSI or Lumbar prolapses

The hand techniques utilises a variety of principles in their application to specific disorders. They can be divided into several categories of therapeutic effect. These categories include oscillating methods, pressure methods, passive joint movement.

Oscillating methods rely on the development of a wave pattern through repetitive movement. This movement generates a rhythmic wave pattern that penetrates deeply into the body and activates the circulation of blood and Qi. This wave also affects the nervous system. Pressure is a secondary aspect of this principle.

Pressure techniques rely on the use of force to deepen its effects on perpendicular pressure, an alternating pressure and release or a moving pressure. These techniques are used to facilitate the removal of obstruction, relieve blood and Qi stagnation and harmonize the flow of Qi and blood.

Passive joint movement features the use of range of motion to help restore functional anatomy. It also helps relieve blood and Qi stagnation.

The aims of the tuina massage are to disperse, tonify, activate, harmonize and warm the Qi and blood to bring about the body’s natural healing process. These aims are achieved by varying the speed, pressure and duration of a Tuina treatment. To use specific hand techniques will produces more pronounced effects. It is the development of the practitioner’s ability to control his or her body, breath and hands that separates the student from the master. While they will often appear similar in execution, the master’s techniques will be profoundly more effective due to the control and development of the body, breath, hands and stances. This is a process that is accomplished through determination, practice, endurance, insight and the help of senior Doctors of TCM.
