Chinese Tuina was called ‘An Mo’ or massage in ancient times. The term Tuina was first seen during the Ming Dynasty. Chinese Tuina is a therapeutic approach guided by Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) and was first used to treat paediatric disease through massage manipulations. Tuina is a very important component of Chinese Medicine alongside acupuncture and herbal prescription.
Today Tuina has become very advanced in its treatment for many diseases. Used in many of the hospitals in China today in the front line of healthcare, whereas in the west these complaints are not seen in our clinics until they become chronic many days after the incident.
This unique course is far more advanced than standard Tuina courses in the west, here below are the main benefits of studying Touch Tuina:
1) Both certificate and diploma courses are backed by recognised insurance and accrediation bodies.
2) Courses allow you to learn on an experiential level and practical level before any theory is introduced.
3) All students get guarenteed clinical experience before they qualify, this allows enables more effective practitioners as they have treated many conditions under supervision and confidence levels are high
4) Optional Study tours to the heart of Tuina in China - Hangzhou, the beautiful West Lake region.
5) Additional CPD courses including Qi Gong, Thai Stretching, Malaysian Herbal Medicine.
6) Roadmaps to success - full business and support mentorship to allow practitioners to grow their business
7) International Tuina community - with regular conferences and worldwide seminars and study tours.

What is Tuina?
Tuina (pron. Twee Nah) is the most tried and tested medical massage system in the world. It is a complete system of healing that shares the same principles as Acupuncture.
Tuina works by not only relaxing and loosening the muscles and soft tissue, but targets specific problems through the use of special hand techniques and acupressure.
Tuina is performed either in a seated position or on a treatment couch. You are fully clothed and covered with a medical blanket. On occasion special medicated creams are used to increase blood flow and warm the muscles.
Tuina can typically treat:
Back pain
Neck pain
Hand / finger/ wrist problems (carpal tunnel)
Shoulder pain/ frozen shoulder
Migraines
Insomnia
Stress
Poor circulation
Digestive problems
Knee/ankle problems
Hip pain
Foot pain / plantar fasciitis
Sports injuries (tennis elbow, hamstring/ calf strains, Achilles tendinitis)
