Workshops

Level 1
In this workshop you will learn the basic manipulations of rolling, kneading, rubbing, scraping, pushing, foulage, shaking, vibrating, pressing, grasping, tapping, rotating, and stretching. Dr. Fu's instruction will focus on proper force and direction of the manipulations as well as proper posture while performing the manipulations. Most of the time will be spent practicing the techniques so that you will be able to start incorporating them into your practice right away.

Level 2
Expand upon your knowledge of techniques and applications. Dr. Fu will teach some combined manipulations. You will learn how to use Tui Na techniques for facial rejuvenation, relaxation, and procedures for treating common diseases such as cervical problems, headaches/migraines, and fibromyalgia. Ways to enhance your manipulations through Qi Gong practice will also be taught. A majority of class time is spent in hands on practice with Dr. Fu's supervision and corrections.
