ANMO FU (Deep Organ massage) |
| The internal organs can be likened to
the body's engine; we put fuel in and get power out (Qi or energy).
That power is in the form of blood and chemicals taken from our nutrition
and processed by the different organs feeding the brain, sense organs,
muscles, bones and joints, etc. |
Tui Na Ancient Wisdom for Modern Life
|
| Tui Na is the most recent branch of Chinese
medicine to reach the UK and its popularity is growing at an ever-expanding
rate. Literally meaning pushing and grasping, Tui Na is based on the
same principles of Chinese medicine as acupuncture. |

Traditional Thai Massage |
| The ancient form of traditional Thai massage
is performed on the floor on a mat, and the client remains fully clothed.
The therapist will move the client into various positions that are
very similar to some of the asanas of yoga. Pressure is also applied
to the body by various parts of the therapist's anatomy, sometimes
the thumbs, palms, elbows, knees, feet, or but- tocks are used, and
sometimes a combination. |

| What
is Acupuncture? |
| Traditional Chinese medicine was primarily
a system of preventative rather than curative medicine, used by a
society whose understanding of their bodies and minds was intimate. |

Thai Massage |
| The casual observer of Thai
massage may be surprised to learn that it is in fact an
energy -based technique. Traditional Thai massage is based
on a very different "map" of the body than Swedish- based
massage styles, taking as its starting point a view of
the body that is based on energy lines known as "sen".

| "I highly recommend this
DVD to any massage student. Especially when studying for exams. It
just makes sense!" "I often refer to this DVD in my own
practice. In my 7 years as a massage therapist, I have not come across
a more complete and practical massage video". |
