Download or read book The Practice of Tui Na written by Robert Aspell and published by Singing Dragon. This book was released on 2019-07-18 with total page 298 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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.

This book was released on 2016-03-08 with total page 172 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Tui Na is the ancient Chinese medical art of hands-on bodywork. Yin (light-touch) Tui Na is often the best approach to bringing about the full self-healing of injuries from which a person has dissociated: injuries that are old, or which were ignored at the time of the trauma, and which, subsequently, are causing incorrect flow of the electrical regulation (Channel Qi) of the body. Dr. Janice Hadlock, DAOM, founder of the non-profit Parkinson's Recovery Project, and professor at the Five Branches University of Traditional Chinese Medicine, has found Yin Tui Na to be the fastest method for restoring awareness of and initiating healing in the injuries that can be causative for Parkinson's disease. She also uses Yin Tui Na in any patient whose old injuries have not fully healed or have not healed correctly.

Download or read book Alternative Medicine written by Edzard Ernst and published by Springer. This book was released on 2019-06-29 with total page 312 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Alternative medicine (AM) is hugely popular; about 40% of the US general population have used at least one type of alternative treatment in the past year, and in Germany this figure is around 70%. The money spent on AM is considerable: the global market is expected to reach nearly US $ 200 billion by 2025, with most of these funds coming directly out of consumers’ pockets. The reasons for this popularity are complex, but misinformation is certainly a prominent factor. The media seem to have an insatiable appetite for the subject and often report uncritically on it. Misinformation about AM on the Internet (currently about 50 million websites are focused on AM) is much more the rule than the exception. Consumers are thus being bombarded with misinformation on AM, and they are ill-protected from such misinformation and therefore prone to making wrong, unwise or dangerous therapeutic decisions, endangering their health and wasting their money. This book is a reference text aimed at guiding consumers through the maze of AM. The concept of the book is straightforward. It has two main parts. The first, short section provides essential background on AM, explaining in simple terms what is (and what is not) good, reliable evidence, and addressing other relevant issues like, for instance, the placebo response, informed consent, integrative medicine, etc. The second and main part consists of 150 short chapters, topically grouped and each dedicated to one single alternative therapeutic or diagnostic method. In each of them, seven critical points are raised. These points relate to issues that are important for consumers’ decisions whether it is worth trying the method in question. Restricting the discussion to just seven points means that issues must be prioritized to those themes which are most relevant in the context of each given modality.
