Tui Na Wellness Level 1 Certification
A Hands On Tui Na Training Course for Beginners and Experienced Practitioners. Learn Tui Na Massage Techniques and Benefits.
For centuries, Tui Na has been one of the most important healing therapies in China. Today, Tui Na is gaining wide spread popularity in the United States for its invigorating and natural way of restoring and maintaining good health.
Tui Na uses the traditional Chinese medical theory of the flow of Qi (energy) through the meridians as its basic therapeutic orientation. By employing associated massage and manipulation techniques, Tui Na seeks to establish a more harmonious flow of Qi through the system of channels and collaterals, allowing the body to heal itself naturally.
Tui Na treatments help with illness prevention, promote well being, decrease stress and relieve pain and aches. In addition, Tui Na massage promotes anti aging, tunes up organs, balances body energy and emotion, enhances immunity, maintains healthy metabolism, and enhances the quality life.
