Tui Na Massage - what is it?
In ancient China, medical
therapy was often classified into
"external" and "internal" treatments. Tui na was one of the external
methods, especially suitable for use on the elderly population and on
infants.
Today it is subdivided
into specialized treatment for infants,
adults, orthopedics, traumatology, cosmetology, rehabilitation, sports
medicine, etc. Tui na has been used extensively in China for over 2,000
years.
Tui na has fewer side
effects than modern drug-based and
chemical-based treatments. It has been used to treat or complement the
treatment of many conditions; musculo-skeletal disorders and chronic
stress-related disorders of the digestive, respiratory and
reproductive systems.

How does it
work?
The words Tui Na translate into "push-grasp" or "poke-pinch" in
Chinese. Physically, it is a series of pressing, tapping, and kneading
with palms, fingertips, knuckles or implements that help the body to
remove 'blockages' along the 'meridians' of the body and stimulates the
flow of qi and blood to promote healing, similar to principles of
acupuncture, moxibustion and acupressure.
Tui na's
massage-like techniques range from light stroking to deep-tissue work
which would be considered too vigorous or too painful for a
recreational or relaxing massage.

Tui Na Massage
Between
1988 and 1993 I studied Reflexology, Tui Na, Shiatsu and Massage. In
1993 I started an Acupuncture course with the College of Integrated
Chinese Medicine and graduated in 1996, gaining the qualification,
Licentiate in Acupuncture (LIC Ac.), and became a member of the
Acupuncture Council at that time.
I have taken
postgraduate courses in Patent Herbal Medicine (ready made pills not
raw herbs); Advanced Needle Techniques; Point Location; treating
infertility and I.V.F. Musculo Skeletal Problems; Tui Na massage;
treatment of sports injuries and I am a practical skills tutor at the
College of Integrated Chinese Medicine.
I use all
of my disciplines in my practice, to get the best results for my
patients. I treat a wide range of conditions, from stress, back
pain, frozen shoulder to tennis elbow.
