A very economically priced text on classical Tuina techniques.Written in both Chinese & English languages.The first 100 pages of the text gives instruction on Qi Gong movements using real people to give accurate stance and positioning.
The Qi Gong practice is to preserve,and enhance Qi so that the practitioner does not become energy depleted as a result of providing Chinese Tuina on the patient.The book then covers Tuina
techniques such as one finger pushing, rocking manipulation, rolling, kneading, different rubbing methods, scrubbing, twisting, hooking, scraping, compressions, grasping, nipping and many more. Regretfully, these are line drawing illustrations but more than adequate for understanding.There is quite an extensive section dealing with the application of Tuina, to treat specific afflictions and injuries... not only with Tuina techniques but also drawing on the use of acupuncture points.Contra-indications are given for patient safety.
All in all a very good hard bound t
