Tuina is a simple therapy which uses neither
medicine nor medical devices, but uses various
massage techniques to stimulate the body to
regulate the bodily functions and eliminate path-
ogenic factors. Originating in China tuina therapy
has now been adopted in many countries around
the world.
The author of Ch'mese Tuina Therapy Wang
Fu has a relationship with traditional Chinese
medicine since his early years. When he was
twenty years old, he became seriously ill. The
medicine to cure his illness caused a hearing loss
in both ears. At that time, he resolved to be a
doctor of traditional Chinese medicine. Because
his deafness proved to be a hindrance in consul-
tation and diagnosis, he resolved to learn mas-
sage therapy. Because of perseverance in study
and boldness in exploration and practice, he ulti-
mately became a well-known masseur. He first
served as a masseur in the Hospital Attached to
the Liaoning College of Traditional Chinese Med-
icine and later was responsible for Chinese Med-
icine of Liaoning magazine. The present book is
a summary of his medical experiences during
his professional career. The book includes thirty
tuina manipulations and twenty-nine therapies
for common diseases.
