Healing with the Hands
Tui-na is a manual therapy that is one of the four branches of TCVM. From a conventional medicine perspective, Tui-na can be thought of as a combination of acupressure, conventional massage, and chiropractic techniques. It can be used to regulate the Channels, soothe joints, promote circulation of Qi and Blood, strengthen the immune system, and promote normal function of the Zang-Fu organs. Tui-na is most commonly used to treat acute and chronic musculoskeletal conditions and is also useful as a preventative medicine therapy because it promotes balance in the body. It can also be used in conjunction with acupuncture and herbal medicine to enhance treatments. Tui-na provides a treatment option for patients with an aversion to needles. It is safe and effective with no known side effects.
Tui-na Techniques
Although veterinarians must receive specialized training in the techniques and applications of Tui-na, once mastered, several Tui-na techniques can be taught to caretakers for home treatments. Mo-fa (touching skin and muscle), Rou-fa (rotary kneading), Ca-fa (rubbing), Tui-fa (pushing), An-fa (pressing), Nie-fa (pinching), Dou-fa (shaking), Ba-shen-fa (stretching) and Cuo-fa (kneading) are techniques that caretakers can learn and use to accelerate the healing process and deepen the connection with their animals.
