Tuina techniques are the primary means used in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) Tuina for the prevention and treatment of diseases. Tuina Technique is a discipline that studies the action structure, principles, training methods, mechanisms of action, and clinical application patterns of tuina techniques. Clinically, Tuina Technique serves as the foundation of treatment in Tuina medicine. In the teaching activities of the Tuina major, Tuina Technique is a core foundational course, bridging various basic Tuina courses with Tuina treatment. Through the study of this course and hands-on technique training, students can master the operational skills of various practical techniques and methods, while becoming familiar with and understanding the brief history of Tuina technique development, as well as its fundamental theories, basic knowledge, experimental research methods, and clinical diagnostic application patterns. This lays a solid theoretical and skill foundation for learning Tuina treatment and future clinical practice.
The Tuina Technique fully inherits the theoretical foundations and practical techniques of traditional Tuina while integrating and applying the perspectives and methods of modern hand technique biomechanics. It advocates an experimental teaching model based on Tuina hand technique biomechanics, employing scientific skill training methods. Theoretically, it strives to provide a scientific interpretation of the action structure and principles of traditional Tuina techniques from the perspective of biomechanics. It also highlights the latest research findings in modern Tuina technique literature, movement mechanics, and therapeutic mechanisms, along with future development directions. This offers a high-level educational and academic platform to cultivate innovative, advanced Tuina professionals who are proficient in traditional techniques, possess a strong theoretical foundation, and have certain research capabilities.
