Description
'A well-executed and pragmatic therapeutic approach in the art of Tui Na. The Practiceof Tui Na has placed great emphasis on the sinew channels (Jing Jin) which has beenlargely underestimated by many Tui Na therapists. This book broadens the clinicalapplication of Tui Na especially for the treatment of mental and emotional disorders, aswell as other diseases with clear treatment guidelines. A truly exceptional read.' -Weixiang Wang, Guest professor of Nanjing University of C hinese Medicine, C hina,Dean of Shenzhou Open University of TC M, Amsterdam'Rob Aspell clearly has a deep understanding of this subject area and a great writingstyle, as this has been one of the easiest books for me to pick up and work through.Having studied Tui Na over a number of years, I found this book most invaluable as ithelped pull together my understanding of the principles and diagnostics into somethingthat is usable and effective. The Practice of Tui Na is an incredibly detailed book on thesubject of Tui Na, and it seems that both complete beginner and experiencedpractitioner of the practice would greatly benefit from reading it.' - Jason Smith, SeniorNei Gong Instructor of Lotus Nei Gong School of Daoist Arts
