Tui Na Equine and Canine Acupressure-Meridian Massage

Hosted by: Lori Perez, LAc, Peter Perez, LMT, CT@theRanch

On-Line Module: Overview to TCM & Meridian Theory Online Courses 

All massage is based on the original Chinese Meridian Massage called Tui Na, a form of bodywork with a long history in Chinese medicine. As an adjunct to animal acupressure, Tui Na facilitates the therapeutic results of acupressure. 

Tui Na regulates meridians, promotes circulation of chi and blood, and strengthens the immune system. These techniques can be applied in musculoskeletal conditions, arthritis, peripheral nerve disorders, and improves the functions of the internal organs. This Retreat provides lecture and guided hands-on practices to successfully learn 10 different Tui Na hand and body techniques and their application for animals.  

 The Seminar covers:

• History and use of Animal Tui Na
• The Tui Na technique of An Fa (direct pressure) & Gun Fa, (rolling knuckles) 
• The Tui Na technique of Na Fa (plucking) & Tui Fa (pushing),
• and 6 more Tui Na hand techniques

• The general therapeutic effects of Tui Na include:   

  • Promoting the circulation of chi and xue in the channels to disperse stagnation
  • Opening and relaxing body tissues allowing the harmonious flow of xue and chi
  • Clearing heat
  • Dispelling wind, cold, dampness (Bi Syndromes, or Pain Conditions)
  • Enhancing the body’s capacity to heal itself
  • Maintaining and/or restore the yin-yang balance in zang-fu organs.
