By Midwest Book Review (Oregon, WI USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Chinese Tui Na Massage: The Essential Guide to Treating Injuries, Improving Health & Balancing Qi (Paperback)
Chinese Tui Na Massage: The Essential Guide To Treating Injuries, Improving Health & Balancing Qi is a straightforward teaching guide by Xiangcai Xu to the ancient art of Tui Na massage. An excellent, technically detailed reference, Chinese Tui Na Massa introduces an eastern physical therapy, which is a preventive health care regime utilizing acupoints, common Tui Na manipulations, and the practice of using Tui Na to treat a wide spectrum of diseases and conditions ranging from colds and headaches, to carpal tunnel syndrome and acute lumbar sprain. Chinese Tui Na Massage is a highly recommended addition to Eastern Medicine and Martial Arts reference collections and reading lists.

This review is from: Chinese Tui Na Massage: The Essential Guide to Treating Injuries, Improving Health & Balancing Qi (Paperback)
This does not qualify as a book. It's more of a personal note of the author, not meant for instruction.

This review is from: Chinese Tui Na Massage: The Essential Guide to Treating Injuries, Improving Health & Balancing Qi (Paperback)
As a Tui Na practitioner and healer, I find this book to be accurate and easy to navigate through. It's more of a beginner's book. There's a lot of theory and history, which I don't mind at this point, but don't need.
However, you will find helpful techniques and key points to remember when you're doing bodywork. I've never seen a Tui Na book that kept me enthused. It has to come from a passion for the art and the experience of the power of Tui Na over western massage. Honestly, Tui Na massage can do what Swedish and Relaxation massage can do in 1/4 of the time, don't take my word for it. Go to a genuine TCM doctor and get bodywork. The science of meridians is well beyond the science of blood, nerve and tissue used in most clinics. You'll believe it when you feel it. Then you can read this book the whole way through. Bless
