What is Tui na ? Tui na (‘push-pull’) is one of the branches of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) along with Acupuncture, Herbal medicine and Qi gong. It is a form of medical massage based around the acupuncture points and meridians. Tui na practitioners need to have a thorough understanding of TCM principles in order to make an accurate diagnosis. Tui na is gaining in visibility in the UK. All hospitals in China have a Tui na department and the therapy is seen to be on the same level as acupuncture. A Tui na treatment typically happens whilst the person is still clothed. Skilled Tui na practitioners utilise a wide range of techniques to knead, roll, press and rub the body to activate the flow of Qi and restore harmony. The technique dates back over 2,000 years and is used extensively in China to treat internal conditions as well as musculoskeletal issues. There are different forms of Tui na and you will be taught softer Yin styles and firmer Yang styles of treatment. You will also undertake Qi gong training to build your own personal energies. Additional skills can be used in conjunction with Tui na such as cupping and Gua sha, but unlike acupuncture the skin is not pierced. This means it can be used in any setting and is suitable for any age, from infants to the elderly. People having Tui na love the experience and always want to come back for more!
Appropriate life experience or 240 points at ‘A’ level No previous practitioner experience or science qualifications are required Many people studying Tui na are doing so as a career change and may not have previous academic qualifications. This need not be as a barrier to becoming a successful practitioner! Our in-depth interview techniques will be able to establish if you are suitable to enrol on our course. We are not interested in taking you on as a student if we do not think you have the ability to succeed. Our aim is to graduate confident, accomplished practitioners. At interview we will be looking for your commitment to the subject, your ability to study in Higher Education (which may or may not include previous professional qualifications), your life experiences and how you have built upon them, and your ability with people. If you already have a TCM qualification you can qualify as a Tui na practitioner with us in just one year
