Chinese Massage Video 1 - Tuina Massage Video 1
This Chinese Massage Video series will start with Tuina Massage.
Tuina means literally "push" (Tui) and "pinch" (Na). It is part of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) and is many times used in combination acupuncture, moxibustion, herbal medicine, cupping etc.
There is a vast amount of research in China about the benefits of Tuina and even though is was historically mainly used on infants and seniors, it offers treatment options for a variety of clinical situations: orthopedics, traumatology, cosmetology, rehabilitation, sports medicine, etc.
I will show you three techniques that will show the difference of Chinese Massage to massages of other cultures, but at the same time will also show similarly used techniques (just in a different context maybe)
Chinese Massage (in this case Tuina) is based on the concept of energy (Chi). Chi is the life force that flows through distinctive channels within the body (meridians). Scientific studies cannot directly proof Chi within the body, but has to accept the concept of Chi, because it can proof the results and changes within the body that stem from manipulation of the Chi (in form of Chinese Massage, Acupuncture and body exercises like Tai Chi or Qi Gong)
Chinese Massage Video - Tuina Massage Video 1:
I will start the series with a general intoduction by Errol Dexter Lynch about Tuina Massage.
He shows in this video the very basic techniques used in this chinese massage.
Take note of the flow, the ease of the movements, the importance of posture and the energizing effect of the movements.
It includes Gun Fa (which I will show in a later post), vibration, slapping and elbow techniques.
