I spent alot of time looking around for information about Tuina and the techniques of Tuina in an easy to understand format. I finally found the a great DVD on amazon, and I have watched it about 30 times, its absolutely fantastic.

So much so, I am now enhancing my skills by training with the maker of this DVD. The DVD is really good because each technique is broken down, plus you get to see what happens when you go to China to study Tuina. In addition there are losts of bonuses including a filmed operation called 'Da Tuina' - whic is just mind blowing. Its over 2 hours of jam packed Tuina information. 5/5 stars in my opinion.

Coming to Ireland in June/July 2009 is the first Tuina Medical Massage  designed specifically for TCM practitioners, the course is very comprehensive and its going to be exciting. We are lucky enough to have the handy skills of master Tuina Practitioner Errol Lynch of the famous Tuina Student to Master DVD fame.
This training course in Tuina Chinese Massage is going to be open to those who have studied some sort of Oriental Medicine and is going to teach you how to practice with the knowledge and skill of a Chinese Tuina Doctor , but with the philosophy and ethical understanding of a western therapist.

We are looking for those people interested to learn more and perhaps feel more. As Errol says 'You can watch and read, but when you feel - you will know"

So here is my call to action to all those medical/oriental/chinese medicine practitioners looking to enhance their skills and put new tools in their toolbox.

Tuina is likened by Errol to be like the Plumbing and Fixtures and fittings, Acupuncture is like the 'Sparky' or electricition.

What seperates Tuina from other therapies is its speed in effectiveness - treatments last from 15mins to 1 hour. The effects are extremely quick as Tuina moves the blood very quickly.
