Tuina is a treatment  technique that uses the knowledge of Traditional Chinese Medicine, acupuncture meridians and energy therapeutic massage practices.

Its purpose is to preserve psychophysical well-being, to restore energy balances and to assist the therapies of our conventional medicine . In fact, tuina has been introduced in many hospitals as a complementary practice in the service of the patient.

This practice is very suitable for taking care of children both in prevention and in synergy with official therapies . Some techniques can be easily learned by parents and applied to their children in the form of play or cuddle. Let’s see better what it is.

Tuina for children

As mentioned, Tuina is very effective in prevention and can be applied to strengthen the immune defenses of the child, indeed there is a real branch of Tuina dedicated to pediatric care . In fact, at an early age children get sick very easily, for various reasons:

> the growth factor changes the body and organic functions very quickly, sometimes with energy imbalances;

> in some cases the energies are depleted quickly and our children are more exposed to pathogenic factors;

> the perverse energies that Traditional Chinese Medicine recognizes in climatic changes such as cold, heat, humidity, wind, influence the condition of well-being and health.

Tuina allows you to treat the body with very soft stimulations , through the pressure of acupuncture points, meridians, kneading, muscle relaxation.

The child receives them as a cuddle, attention towards him with a relaxing and enveloping effect. With simple maneuvers you come into contact with his energy system, his yin and yang part and restore balance.
