Tui Na Dating back to 1700 B.C.E., Tui Na
includes the use of hand techniques to massage, manipulate, and restore soft
tissue (muscles and tendons) and acupressure to affect the flow of Qi and speed
healing. Herbal poultices, compresses, liniments, and salves are also often
used to enhance the treatment. Tui Na is taught as a major field of study in Traditional Chinese Medical
colleges. Tui Na doctors receive the same demanding training as Acupuncturists
and Herbalists and enjoy the same level of professional respect.
Reflexology Foot Reflexology is a therapy that works on the feet to
assist the body to heal itself. Following illness, stress, injury or disease,
vital energy pathways are blocked, preventing the body from functioning
effectively. Reflexology along with acupuncture and other modalities can be
used to restore balance and encourage healing. Reflexology uses the hands to apply pressure to the feet.
For each person the application and the effect of the therapy is unique. Trained
hands can detect tiny crystalline deposits in the feet, and by working on these
points the release blockages and restore the free flow of Qi to the whole body.
