Tui Na is a form of Chinese therapeutic massage that can be used alone or in conjunction with acupuncture and Chinese herbal medicine. Through both theoretical and practical components, students learn the basic principles and common therapeutic techniques of Tui Na, how to treat various common syndromes, and gain an understanding of how to apply those in a therapeutic setting. Some students find that the knowledge gained in BMS103 Surface Anatomy is helpful for this course.

Some exercises in this course involve physical touch. Participation is always based on informed consent; all touch is optional and consent must be clear and ongoing.
