All of these conditions may be improved treating the body.

Tui Na treats the body effectively by reseting any and all joints through passive bone manipulation. The effect is a bit deeper than most massage. For 15 years my focus was on martial art injuries and helping them heal. Knees, shoulders, elbows, fingers, toes, and ankles were the most common areas. I have a super protocol for the back, neck, and pelvis (sacrum, hips, and sciatica problems) which usually shows results fairly quickly.

For three years I studied the rolling school of tui na at the Pacific College of Oriental Medicine. There are several schools of tui na and each offers multiple approaches to similar problems. This expands tui na to more clinical protocols including:

• Another set of protocols for joint and back problems
• Arthritic conditions
• Digestive disorders
• Deep tissue for alignment problems and releasing deep set tension
• Headache, tmj, jaw, and other head problems
• Lung disorders like asthma, bronchitis, and other lung diseases
• Major structural trauma from whiplash, frozen shoulder, severe elbow problems, ...
• Pediatric tui na including simple protocols for parents to use
• Reproductive problems
• Sports protocols from the Chinese Olympic team training

As an oriental body therapist there is a range of other tools to help the body heal including gua sha, cupping, moxabustion, and herbs.
