Features: During the compilation of this book, we have maintained the systematic and comprehensive nature of the traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) system while highlighting practicality and targeting. We have also paid full attention to the organic connection between basic theory and clinical treatment, drawing on a large amount of relevant literature and research findings from both domestic and international sources. After more than a year of joint efforts by the editorial committee, we have completed the writing of this medical monograph. We hope that Practical TCM Tuina Therapy can become a valuable guide and companion for readers learning TCM tuina. The book is divided into three parts—General Theory, Specific Topics, and Appendices—with 16 chapters and over 700,000 words, featuring more than 500 illustrations. The first three chapters cover General Theory, introducing the basic knowledge of techniques, treatment, and exercises. Chapters 4 to 13 focus on Specific Topics, providing a comprehensive and systematic introduction to adult techniques, pediatric techniques, regional tuina techniques, as well as tuina treatment for orthopedics, internal medicine, gynecology, ophthalmology and otolaryngology, pediatrics, and tuina exercises. Chapters 14 to 16 constitute the Appendices, covering topics such as tuina schools, modern research progress on techniques, and self-care tuina. The primary readers of this book are physicians in tuina orthopedics, physical therapy and rehabilitation, and pain management departments. It can also serve as a reference for medical students and tuina enthusiasts in their studies and work.
