Intensive “hands-on” training

We train students for career and effective practice. Our Tui Na Course is a very intensive program, which focuses on practical “hands-on” techniques drawn from many of the Chinese Tui Na great traditions, or created by Dr.Chen himself.

The combination of these techniques and strategies works towards an overall goal of the total release of all tension in the body and the opening up of the channels or meridians through which the chi (life force) flows.
