Tuina Training Courses Ireland 2022
Tuina Training, demonstrating seated routine for Frozen Shoulder (2015)
Tui Na is a rising star in the world of hands-on healing in Ireland. It has long been a main component of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) and is widely used in China, including in hospitals. It is a therapeutic massage and can be performed as either soft tissue or deep tissue massage.
It is a complete system, which means that, in itself, it can be used to treat ailments, or indeed the entire body, through freeing blockages of Chi (aka energy flow).
It uses the same body map as acupuncture. However, while acupuncture treats using needles at specific points throughout the body, Tui Na uses manual stimulation of these points. ‘Tui’ – meaning ‘push’ – and ‘Na’ – meaning ‘grasp’ – indicate how this is done.
The practitioner uses his or her hands to physically adjust the body in a variety of ways, such as pushing, kneading, rolling, brushing, shaking, pressing and rubbing, to create friction and heat which is absorbed into the body.
