Diploma in Tuina

Diploma in Tuina is designed for students who wish to become practitioners of traditional Chinese Medicine Massage Therapy.

In ancient China, medical therapy was often classified as ‘internal’ or ‘external’. Tuina, a form of ‘hands-on’ Chinese Manipulative Therapy, is an external method especially suitable for use on people of all ages in conjunction with acupuncture, moxibustion and cupping. Tuina has been gaining international attention because it is a very effective therapy for arthritis, pain, sciatica and muscle spasms. Other benefits of this massage therapy include alleviation of stress-related disorders like insomnia, constipation, headaches and other disorders related to digestive, respiratory and reproductive systems.

This complementary and alternative Chinese medicine modality makes use of rhythmic compression techniques along different energy channels of the body to establish a harmonious flow of Qi throughout the body and bringing it back to balance. By applying pressure to meridians, acupoints, and groups of muscles and nerves, Tuina removes blockages and works deeply with the positive energy of the body.
