preface
Tuina massage therapy is an economical and simple natural treatment that allows patients to receive treatment and preventive care without medication, injections, or surgery.
In particular, it has a particularly significant effect on some common clinical diseases, frequent diseases and some difficult and miscellaneous diseases, and is favored by the majority of patients and sub-healthy people.
Tuina massage therapy is an important part of traditional Chinese medicine, with a long history and rich content, and it has long been recorded in the oldest medical classic work of traditional Chinese medicine, "Su Wen - Blood and Qi Shape Chronicles": "The shape is frightened, the meridians are blocked, and the disease is born from inhumanity, and the treatment is to massage the medicine." Qian Ruming of the Ming Dynasty pointed out in the preface of "The Secret Massage Tips".
"Tuina, said massage in ancient times, the last life to treat the baby, to refer to the method of needle", fully shows that Tuina is one of the oldest medical techniques of human beings.
The origin of massage is rooted in the instinctive self-protection of human beings. In primitive society, human beings often suffer from injuries and pains in the process of heavy and arduous labor production, and will unconsciously touch and pat the pain and surrounding parts with their hands.
With the transformation of people's health concepts and health care models, patients are more favored for non-invasive and non-adverse reactions.
In clinical practice, many people go from not receiving massage to receiving massage and finally falling in love with massage therapy; Especially in the process of teaching international students from all over the world, we deeply appreciate the profoundness and unique charm of TCM Tuina Medicine, and we feel that we have the responsibility and obligation to show the wonderful flower of Tuina massage to more readers and benefit more people.
The book "Tuina Massage" is based on and guided by the concept of traditional Chinese medicine and modern medicine, combined with common clinical diseases and frequent diseases, and tries our best to use concise language, easy-to-understand words, pictures and texts to massage this ancient and young
"Green" traditional Chinese medicine and some practical health care methods are displayed in front of the majority of readers and friends.
The purpose is to present a popular science book to the public, so that readers can quickly learn and master the basic and practical knowledge and skills of massage, which can not only be used for their own health care, but also for family members and relatives to heal injuries.
This book is divided into two parts, the first and the second, which introduce in detail the methods, characteristics, precautions and contraindications of massage massage, as well as the meridians and acupuncture points commonly used in clinical practice; This paper briefly introduces the operation methods, steps and main acupoints of massage therapy in various parts of the human body and more than 30 kinds of massage techniques, focusing on the methods of massage for 140 common diseases in clinical practice, including the author's many years of clinical experience in massage therapy, with pictures and texts for readers to grasp.
Due to the hurry of time and limited level, the deficiencies are kindly corrected by the readers. I hope that the book "Picture Tuina Massage" can become a mentor and friend for grassroots massage doctors and readers to learn Tuina massage methods.
