Have you ever wanted to learn some massage techniques for use at home on your family and friends?
Have you often thought that by having some skills in massage it would enhance your clinical practice?
If you have had these thoughts, then you are exactly like I was 32 years ago (wow that makes me sound old – haha!). Back then, I was a spritely 19-year-old, and I learnt various schools of massage, whilst also studying an acupuncture degree. What I learnt was that Chinese Acupressure Massage, or Tuī Ná, was my preferred massage style.
Why? Because it gave me so many different massage techniques that came under the umbrella of Tuī Ná. Thereby, providing me with different massage skills to accommodate a wider range of patients and their conditions.
So, what will you be learning in this workshop? In the first section, you will be taken through a range of Tuī Ná techniques. This is done via theory, lecturer demonstrations and then practical application by the participants. In the second section, you will learn how to apply those techniques into some treatments. These will be on various parts of the body. Similar to section one, this is done via theory, lecturer demonstrations and then practical application by the participants.
There will be some acupuncture channel and point location included throughout. Participants will be shown these locations. At the end of the workshop, participants will also be given all of the demonstration videos so they can be reviewed as required.
The goal of the three days is to get you ready to start using Tuī Ná at home and/or in the clinic. If you want to know more, please contact me via your preferred method (see below).
