Tui Na
Tui Na
Tui Na An Mo is the more manual branch of TCM. Literally translated as Push, Grasp, Press and Rub it
combines different hand and stretching/mobilisation techniques to remedy Traditional Chinese Disease
states. It aims to regulate Qi and Blood bringing about Homeostasis to the body and tranquillity to the
mind.
The main mantra applied is, “where there is pain there is no free flow, where there is free flow there is no
pain”;
So by freeing tight muscles, deactivating trigger points and stretching/mobilisation of joints we aim
to allow the Qi of the body to flow in the correct rhythmic cycles, thus, creating self correcting movement
patterns and bodily functions.
A session will usually involve various muscular and joint tests along with a Chinese Medicinal Diagnosis
to determine what disease state the tissues are in. From there various manual techniques will be employed
along with acupuncture point combinations, abdominal massage, cupping and moxa to bring the body
back into a harmonious state of alignment. Once these proper patterns of motion and Qi circulation have
been cemented, they lead to a more pain free state of being for longer.
