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.

Download or read book Tui Na de Da Chinese Therapy Massage written by Dr J a Lan and published by Dr. Jeff LAN. This book was released on 2016-04-18 with total page 200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: About this book ____________________________ This book has been compiled for students that study Tui Na and De Da Sun Sang (Bonesetting) namely Chinese massage utilised as therapy. What is in this book is purely the basics and foundation of Tui Na and Bonesetting. To understand this book deeply and thoroughly, one needs to have the basic knowledge of the theory and diagnostics of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). My wish is that everyone who uses this book has a proper under- standing of internal energy and Daoist philosophy, so that it may ease his or her knowledge and understanding. I have studied in the traditional way, from Master to disciple/ student. I first started my martial arts with external Shaolin Quan and Yong Chun, then Qi Gong, Daoist philosophy and Taiji. Through the understanding of the internal works, I finally started to learn De Da (Bonesetting) and Tui Na, which was followed by Acupuncture and herbs. My internal martial arts' training has helped me a great deal in my TCM practice. My personal feeling, however, is that I am still learning day by day. Dr. Jeff Lan - Liu Youyi Introduction to Tui Na & De Da _________________________________________________ The direct translation for Tui Na is 'push/seize'(catch). De Da Sun Sang means 'fall, hit, damage, injury'. Tui Na is a Chinese therapeutic massage, using variations of techniques to restore the body. De Da Sung Sang is called bonesetting, which is the name many people in the West know it by. It involves the manipulation of joints to re- store the bone to its normal function, e.g. when treating dislocations or fractures. Tui Na and De Da are examples of the ancient healing arts of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), which has a long history. Tui Na and bonesetting, along with acupuncture, moxibustion and herbs, are important methods of TCM to treat trauma and injuries. The earliest writings on TCM are in the Nei Jing, translated as "Yellow Emperor's Classic of Internal Medicine," dating back to 2300BC. This ancient healing technique has chapters on massage. For about 4000 years, Tui Na has been practised in China and is still practised in clinics and hospitals today. Tui Na, as practised in the East, treats symptoms which in western society would be treated by chiropractors and physiotherapists. Patients treated with Tui Na have a high recovery rate, because it not only works on the muscles and joints, but also on a deeper level relating to the flow of Qi and blood in the body, as well as treating the ligament, tendon and sinew. TCM believes that all diseases are caused by imbalances and blockages in the flow of Qi. using various methods of treatment, it can regulate the disorders or imbalances of the body functions. It dispels fatigue and relieves pain caused by injured tissues, improves blood circulation, promotes the healing of damaged tissues of the body, eliminates stress and dissolves dampness. Using Tui Na and/or De Da for treating diseases allows for a broad spectrum of treatment. It is especially suitable for curing injuries caused by falls, bone fractures, contusions and strain or damage to the soft tissues, i.e. muscles, tendons and ligaments. When the treatment is accepted by the body, especially on the channels and points, it will activate the Qi and blood, soothe the muscles and joints, relax the tendons, reduce swelling, relieve pain, promote circulation of the blood and lymph and improve the metabolism of the whole body. using the treatment of Tui Na does not require any materials or medications. To achieve more effective results in Tui Na and/or De Da, it is better to practice Taiji daily. It will teach you to understand your own energy's movement through the body. It teaches you to relax and become sensitive, so that during treatment you can be one with your patient. The practice of Qi Gong and meditation is also good as it helps cultivate your own energy, balances the mind and body as one.

Book excerpt: Wang Daifu is blind and works as a practitioner of tuina, a traditional form of pressure-point massage, in the burgeoning metropolis of Shenzhen. His is a uniquely coveted skill, yet it is one of the few options open to the visually impaired in China. When he loses his life savings on the stock market he returns to his provincial hometown, fiancée in tow, to work for an old classmate. But the transition is not easy as Wang struggles to deal with his own career frustration, his brother's gambling troubles, and the pressures of pleasing his wife-to-be. His fellow workers have their own stories: Duhong is a former pianist whose striking beauty goes undetected by her blind colleagues; strong-headed Jin Yan travels cross-country in pursuit of a man she has never met; and Xiao Kong hides her relationship with Wang Daifu from her parents. Together these fiercely independent people are united by the challenges of their shared disability. Amid growing uncertainty, the members of this diverse community draw support from one another as they navigate their world of darkness.
