Tui means “push” and Na means “grasp”. Tuina has been practised
in China for more than 4000 years. It is a deeply penetrating
massage therapy provided within the Traditional Chinese Medical
(TCM) system. In China Tuina is the equivalent of physiotherapy
and sports therapy. Tuina works both on the muscles and joints
as well as stimulating acupoints to rebalance Qi (pronounced
CHEE, in English it means life energy) throughout the meridians.
Tuina uses the arms, hands, fingers, elbows and knees as
tools for treating diseases and illnesses. Tuina is also used
to protect and maintain health and help to build up body immunity,
so that disease can be stopped in its beginning, acting as
a preventative measure without any side effects.
"Injury or disease
cause blockages in the channels of the body. Blockages cause
pain. Tuina works to unblock these channels."

Course Entry Requirements
& Pre-requisites
The course is taught without the need for specific anatomical
knowledge, however to practise professionally in the UK, as
a member of a recognised governing body, it is essential to
have a recognised qualification in Anatomy & Physiology and
Massage. Candidates who wish to study for personal development
and not to practise professionally may attend the course,
but will be exempt from formal assessment and case studies.
Course Duration
This is a 30 hour course.
Assessment
- Written Theory Assessment (exam conditions)
- Practical Observation
- Case Study Completion—(further explanation will be given
during the course).
The Examination Body
As there are no National Occupational Standards for Tuina,
the course is assessed internally to accepted National Standards
of Assessment. The FHT (Federation of Holistic Therapists)
recognise our qualifications, along with many other governing
bodies.
