What is The Manual therapy / Tuina?
The power of the human hand as a healing agent has a long history in Chinese Medicine. The method of applying manual therapy to the specific parts of the human body surface is to regulate the physiological and pathological conditions of the body to achieve therapeutic and health care purposes. Specifically, doctors or therapists use their own hands and use various forms of techniques and strengths to push, lift, press, rub, roll, pinch, point and tap according to the patient’s specific condition on their affected body surface, uncomfortable area, specific acupressure points and painful body part to be able to achieve therapeutic goals.
How it is used in Chinese Medicine at TCM Shanghai?
At TCM Shanghai, not necessarily but it usually recommended that you see a doctor first to ensure you are getting the best course of treatment for your condition. Based on the findings, the doctor will determine whether Manual therapy (Tuina) is suitable for the patient and he will assess which area of the body to focus on and which kind of manipulation therapy is needed. The patient will be asked to lie down on his/her back, front or side depending on which body part the patient is suffering from. The treatment will be a period of 30 to 120 mins and the frequency of sessions required will be advise by the doctor or therapists depending on patient’s health condition.
