Tuina Massage Video - Chinese Reflexology
This Tuina Massage Video is another video from Errol. Here he talks about Chinese or Tuina Reflexology treatments.
It looks a lot different than Classic Western Reflexology foot massage. The main reason because he uses some kind of cream, which is interesting for an energetic massage technique, because it makes the energy to crossover between meridians, which is usually avoided.
The use of cream makes it possible to utilize friction techniques, that you are in general not using on dry skin..
The most important thing that he says in his video (and I have pointed this out on all articles about foot reflexology) is that just because you have a finding in the foot, it doesn't necessarily mean that the corresponding area in the body is affected.
So don't use foot reflexology as a means to diagnose, if you are don't have a lot of experience in chinese Tuina reflexology. The diagnosis of the foot is much more complex than that.
Enjoy the video:

Gun Fa (Rolling Method) - Tuina Massage Video
I already showed you the Tuina Massage Video Introduction by Errol and in this post I will go a little bit more into the detail of Gun Fa or the Rolling Method.
Gun Fa is a great massage technique and utilizes the back of the hand. Sometimes a massage therapist might also use the back of the fingers or the belly of the thumb, but in case of this Tuina massage video I will only show you the main technique with the back of the hands.
The pacing is usually around 140-160 rolls per minute, the movement should be smooth, constant, even and the hand should not rub or slip.
Try it out yourself and see that it is actually no that easy and can be very tiring in the beginning, but after you get used to it, it is a great tool especially for the large areas in the body.
Gun Fa should not be applied on the front of the neck, the face, the head and in the belly and chest area.
That means usually you use Gun Fa along the back, hips, legs and arms.
The benefits of Gun Fa are relaxation, increased flow of Chi and therefore also increase circulation of blood.

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.
