Tui Na is one of the 'Four Pillars' of Chinese medicine (alongside
Acupuncture, herbal medicine and Qi Gong) and is a form of bodywork
that includes acupressure, massage techniques, assisted stretching,
and joint mobilisations or adjustments that are all based on the
key medical principles and diagnostics of the Classics of Chinese
medicine. This book is an accessible clinical handbook of Tui Na
principles and practice. Tui Na can be used as much more than a
musculoskeletal therapy, but in order to use it to its full
potential as a medical intervention, it is essential to understand
its uses on the Sinew channel system as opposed to the other
channel systems commonly used within acupuncture. Tui Na requires
an understanding of the principles and pathways of the Sinew
channels as a standalone system of the body, as well as its
relationship to the other channel and organ systems, and this book
provides an accessible introduction to these channels before moving
onto Tui Na practice. There are Sections on Diagnosis and
Assessment, Techniques and Treatments with hand and joint
manipulation techniques covered in detail, along with instruction
on developing a Tui Na prescription and protocols for the treatment
of common conditions. This book can be used by beginners studying
on a hands-on practical course in Tui Na, in addition to qualified
Chinese medicine and Tui Na practitioners.
