What is Tui Na ?
Tui Na is hands-on Traditional Chinese Medicine. It ranks equally
with acupuncture, herbal medicine and Qigong. It has been tried
and tested for over 4,000 years and is still regularly used by over
one fifth of the World's population. It is part of the second largest
medical system in the World.
Tui Na means to "push and grasp" It is based on the same
medical theory as acupuncture
Done correctly, Tui Na facilitates the flow of vital energy called
Qi (pronounced "chee"). It has been shown to flow through
a system of channels called "meridians". Stimulation of
various combinations of Qi-points on these meridians forms the basis
of Tui Na therapy.
Tui Na Chinese massage techniques are designed to produce powerful effects on the
flow of Qi in the body.
- Tui na is effective in maintaining good health and treating
a huge variety of pathological conditions:
- Tui Na speeds up healing in the musculo-skeletal system treating
all chronic and acute neck, shoulder, back and joint pain, sciatica
and arthritis.
- Tui Na even promotes healing in the most inert connective tissues
such as tendons and ligaments. Uniquely effective techniques quickly
release fibrotic myofascia.
- Tui Na is the most effective means of treating sports injuries
- Tui Na treats all common chronic conditions such as headaches,
migraine, IBS, insomnia, tension, restlessness etc.
- Tui Na treats all conditions that in the West would be treated
by osteopaths, chiropractors and physiotherapists plus many that
would require drug therapy
 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.
" We believe students trained at your school are mostly exceptional
and impressive."
