Practical Tuina training in a clinic or hospital in China/Taiwan?

[Guest guest]

Hello again!

 

I would like some of what the title of this post says. I'm about to finish my

course and want to go to

China and improve my Mandarin, get some practical tuina training (no more

classrooms for the next

year or two please!) in an environment where I can treat lots of different

people, under supervision of

experienced tuina doctors. I'm wondering if anyone on the group has done

anything like this, knows

anyone who has, or has the email addresses of people who might know about such

programs?

Especially for Taiwan, since I already have a couple of potential places in

China sorted out.

 

Thanks in advance.

Hi Simon,

 

I can't help you, but I can encourage you. :-)

 

Today I visited a tuina/acupuncture practitioner who used the

combination in a way I had not seen before. Lots of bodywork in the

abdominal area to " soften " things up. Then as she palpated and

manipulated, she located specific areas that she needed to work with

more deeply using acupuncture and then proceeded to work in those

areas without and concern for specific " points " . She just did her

" digging " based upon where she felt she had to " tunnel " . :-) She spent

about 2 hours with me (initial visit) and was always working on me

throughout the full session. It was quite interesting to observe.

There were three of us taking notes throughout the session. :-)

 

I enjoy going to different practitioners and picking up new ideas.

Afterwards I used the new abdomen technqiques on a friend of mine (we

are both studying tuina/qigong) with remarkable success. All three of

us were discussing it all day.

 

Good luck!

Hi Simon,

 

I know a good quality hospital in Beijing that can offer you training in

Tuina and accommodation. Contact me off-list if interested.
