Diploma of Traditional Chinese Medicine Remedial Massage (An Mo Tui Na)
The course explores the history, tradition and global practice of Tui Na and provides students with specialised skills to assess conditions and trauma commonly experienced in the community.
Students will develop knowledge and skill in assessment and treatment of acute and chronic conditions resulting from activities related to sport, work and lifestyle. Range of motion, special tests and orthopaedic testing are developed to assist diagnosis of specific musculoskeletal conditions.
Traditional pulse and tongue assessment is linked to treatment protocols including acupressure point stimulation and acupuncture meridian massage techniques to open the channels and move the Qi. Resolving the stagnation of blood and Qi will address the pain of non-musculoskeletal conditions.
