Features: Massage, also known as Tuina, is an important component of the treasure trove of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) and one of the four major clinical treatment methods alongside Chinese herbal medicine, acupuncture, and Tuina. Tuina therapy is widely favored by doctors and patients due to its simplicity, remarkable efficacy, cost-effectiveness, and safety. To facilitate learning, mastery, and quick memorization, we have compiled this "Pocket Tuina Study and Memory Manual" based on the higher medical college textbooks Tuina (edited by Yu Dafang) and the new-era higher TCM college textbooks Tuina (edited by Yan Jun Tao). The manual is divided into two parts: "Basic Principles" and "Treatment Methods." The "Basic Principles" section introduces the principles and therapeutic guidelines of Tuina, the meridian pathways and distribution of the 14 meridians, 164 commonly used Tuina acupoints, 46 pediatric-specific Tuina acupoints, and 26 basic Tuina techniques. The "Treatment Methods" section covers Tuina treatments for common bone and trauma injuries, internal medicine, gynecology, and pediatrics, as well as health maintenance massages for the whole body, self-massage for physical fitness, and beauty and weight-loss massages. The manual features a rich and comprehensive content, clear and concise language, and is easy to understand. It emphasizes practicality and scientific rigor. It is suitable for clinical Tuina practitioners, TCM college students and teachers, beginners in Tuina, and intermediate to advanced health massage therapists. It can also serve as a learning resource for family massage, self-care massage, and for massage enthusiasts.
