Features: Massage therapy is one of the early inventions in Chinese medicine. As early as 2,000 years ago, the classical medical text Huangdi Neijing recorded "Disease arises from insensitivity; it should be treated with massage and herbal medicine." Through the rich practical experience of generations of medical practitioners, it has evolved into a specialized science and is currently gaining attention from the medical community both domestically and internationally, demonstrating its strong vitality. Dr. Li Maolin, a chief physician specializing in massage, has dedicated himself to this field for decades. After multiple revisions, he has compiled the theory, techniques, and clinical applications of massage into a comprehensive work. The book covers a wide range of techniques and treatments, serving as a specialized monograph that combines theory and practice. The publication of this book will play a significant role in popularizing and advancing the study of massage. This book is divided into two parts. The first part focuses on techniques, detailing the operational essentials, therapeutic effects, historical references, abstracts, and concluding remarks for 218 massage and tuina techniques. The second part focuses on syndrome differentiation and disease treatment, listing disease names, etiology, and pathogenesis.
