TUI NA LEVEL 1: FULL BODY SEQUENCE The first level is designed around a full-body regulatory tuina treatment, which is divided into three parts: the back; the lower limbs; the neck, face and upper limbs. While together these three parts serve as an integrated regulatory treatment for the whole body, they can also be used independently. Performing the full-body sequence enables the student to learn sixteen hand techniques in the context of an actual treatment.
The key element in this sequence is what we refer to as the Back Protocol which ties together the three parts of the full-body sequence. More complete explanations of the treatment of the upper and lower limbs will be presented in Levels II and III. Hand Techniques taught in this level are the most basic; competency in these techniques is required to progress to further levels.
The hand strengthening exercises consist of static postures and simple movements that stregthen the arms and legs and push Qi and intention into the hands.
Five Element Qi Gong
The five element exercises regulate the internal organs, guide Qi and Blood into the hands and create more sophisitcated internal connetions.
