Touch Tuina Course starting in September 2010. Two available options to students wanting to learn a new type of Tuina called Touch Tuina. We will be starting a certifcation (6 month intensive) and a Diploma level (1 year) course in Sept 2010.

Starting in September 2010 in Dublin, Ireland is the first Touch Tuina Certification and Diploma courses.


Below are some videos for you to see a recent intro workshop that took place in Dublin this March 2010.
http://www.youtube.com/user/TuinaTherapyIreland Chinese  Tuina was called ‘An Mo’ or massage in ancient times. The term Tuina was first seen during the Ming Dynasty. Chinese Tuina is a therapeutic approach guided by Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) and was first used to treat paediatric disease through massage manipulations. Tui Na is a very important component of Chinese Medicine alongside acupuncture and herbal prescription.

Today  Touch Tuina has become very advanced in its treatment for many diseases. Used in many of the hospitals in China today in the front line of healthcare, whereas in the west these complaints are not seen in our clinics until they become chronic many days after the incident.

This unique course is far more advanced than standard Tuina courses in the west, here below are the main benefits of studying Touch Tuina:

1) Both certificate and diploma courses are backed by  the most prestigious practitioner of Tuina in the west : Errol Lynch of Touch Tuina and TuinaUK.

2) Courses allow you to learn on an experiential level and practical level before any theory is introduced.

3) All students get guarenteed clinical experience before they qualify, this allows enables more effective practitioners as they have treated many conditions under supervision and confidence levels are high

4) Optional Study tours to the heart of Tuina in China - Hangzhou, the beautiful West Lake region.

5) Additional CPD courses including Qi Gong, Thai Stretching, Malaysian Herbal Medicine.

6) Roadmaps to success - full business and support mentorship to allow practitioners to grow their business

7) International Touch Tuina community - with regular conferences and worldwide seminars and study tours.

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.

Please register your interest, your experience and what you would like to know more about this course by responding to this Blog post.
