Julian has practised Chinese Martial Arts and its associated therapies for over 10 years with The Taoist Arts Organisation.
From his experience in the fighting arts and associated injuries he knows that gentle techniques often work better than therapies that force the body into a position as it allows the body and brain to fully integrate what it is being asked to do. The Tui Na techniques he uses work on soft tissue, muscles and joints in a fully integrated way. They may involve joint manipulation to open the joints, acupressure or the use of cloths and dowels to get the body moving effectively.
Well-known for its effectiveness in treating musculo-skeletal conditions such as arthritis, sciatica, sports related injuries and chronic pain, Tui Na may also be effective for other problems such as headaches, sleep difficulties, and stress amongst others. It can also be effective in maintaining and enhancing flexibility and mobility, and promoting health and wellbeing.
Tui Na Treatments are carried out over loose clothing and there is no requirement to undress although some techniques may be applied directly to the skin.
