Tuina Fundamentals LEVEL TWO: The theory, technique and exploration of specific conditions using this TCM form of massage

Tuina is a modality of traditional Chinese medicine that uses the arms, hands, fingers, knees and elbows for the treatment of illness and disease as well as to maintain and promote health. In a tuina treatment, the therapist manipulates the body stimulating acupuncture points to correct physiological imbalances and regulated the body’s energy or qi.

Tuina is useful in treating soft tissue injuries, blood circulation issues, rheumatic pain, fatigue, and any symptoms caused by stress or emotional problems.

This 80 hour course is a continuation from Tuina LEVEL ONE and will examine specific conditions by exploring the theory, protocol and sequence of technique with demonstration and guided, supervised practice. That will be taught and then practiced in a hands-on environment.

Some of the topics that will be covered in this course are:

  • Facial Paralysis (Bell’s Palsy)

  • CVA / Hemiplegia

  • Asthma

  • Neurosis

  • PMS and Gynecology

  • Digestive Problems

  • Diabetes

  • Insomnia and more
