Tui Na is a division of Traditional Chinese Medicine and ranks
equally with acupuncture, herbal medicine and Qigong
-
Tui Na which means to "push and grasp" is a medical
treatment related to acupuncture.
-
The Tui Na course is based on classical Chinese medical theory.
This places emphasis on function and
wholeness.
-
Tui Na aims to facilitate the flow of Qi (pronounced "chee")
through a system of channels called "meridians". Stimulation
of specific combinations of Qi-points on these meridians, regulates
and balances Qi.
-
Tui Na is a practitioner's most powerful
tool for focussing deep pressure with diverse movement
along the meridians and into their Qi-points.
-
Tui Na with TCM has been tried and
tested for over 4,000 years and is regularly used by
over one fifth of the World's population. It is the second largest
medical system in the World, functioning in China with equal
status alongside Western style medicine.
The course also includes a qualification in "Paediatric
Tui Na" which includes training in basic healthcare
and common ailments for children

 What
is the difference between Tui Na and Acupressure?
Acupressure involves gentle static pressure applied to acupoints.
Tui Na focuses on the meridians as well as the acupoints.
Tui Na has a vast range of vigorous pressure movement techniques
that promote Qi (intrinsic energy) flow and balance.
What is the difference between Tui Na and Shiatsu?
Both therapies are based on the same basic traditional Chinese
medical theory.
Tui Na dates back to over 4,000 years.
However, around 1000 years ago Tui Na was introduced into Japan,
where it was modified to become what is now known as Shiatsu.
Tui Na has a huge arsenal of robust pressure and manipulative techniques
all of which require diverse movements.
Shiatsu by comparison is very slow, gentle and static with lots
of sustained presses.
