1 Year Diploma in Tui Na

Introduction

If you have qualified from a BAAB-accredited college, or if you are in Year 2 at a BAAB-accredited college, on production of your qualification certificate and/or your transcripts, we will confirm that your knowledge of TCM is enough to undertake training on our one-year Tui Na course.

If you are studying at, or have qualified from, a non-BAAB accredited college, you may be required to undergo a process known as RPL - Recognition of Prior Learning. During the RPL process, it may be necessary to assess your depth of TCM understanding, as we are unable to accept students onto the course who have not studied TCM in sufficient depth.

TNT – Tui Na Techniques

This unit will teach you the Tui Na manipulations and massage techniques, area routines, and practical skills such as cupping, gua sha and moxibustion. Orthopaedic tests and external herbal formulae are also taught. This unit develops your physical strength, stamina, and sensitivity to internal Qi through the study and practice of Shaolin Neigong, as well as various other types of Qi Gong (focused breathing) including the Six Healing Sounds, which can be incorporated into therapeutic Tui Na practices.

TCL – Tui Na Clinic

This unit puts theory and practice together creatively to use a range of Tui Na techniques to look at complex disease patterns in Chinese medicine. It applies existing theoretical knowledge, reflective practice and practical skills acquired throughout the program in the context of supervised clinical practice with patients.
