Brief Description
This is an atlas of Tuina manipulations written in collated Chinese and English.
The book is divided in 3 chapters. The manipulation classification, mechanism
approach and technical requirements are introduced in the first chapter. In the
second chapter, manipulations of 14 categories such as the pressing category,
the linear-moving category, the circular-moving category etc. are described. And
all the routine techniques on different body parts such as on the head and
facial regions, the neck and nape regions, the shoulder region are also
delineated in the last chapter.
With abundant
manipulation resources and accurate drawings, this works is not an ecumenic
iconography book of Tuina manipulations. Reversal, the authors focalize at the
motion conspectus of the manipulations to depict out of the incision point, at
which you will be easy to control skills of all manipulations. Thus it is not
only helpful for the beginner to learn Tuina manipulations, but beneficial for
the clinician to elevate the therapeutic effect of manipulations as well.
A piece of simplest
diagram contains more information than an article of hundreds words does. In
this book, approximately 200 Tuina manipulations originated from both China and
foreign countries are compiled. The rectifying manipulations especially occupy
an outstanding role in this book and thus make it distinguished from other Tuina
books. This book takes the diagrams as main form and the word illustrations as
supporting role, and 304 diagrams are included in this book.
For the beginners, the
writing of this book is plain and simple, and the drawn is meticulous. So they
will have no difficult in reading. For professionals, the classification system
of manipulations the evolution analysis of manipulation and the late
introduction of foreign manipulations in will also bring them a lot of benefit.
