TuiNa - Massage Rome

Chinese medicine is a broad and diverse set of medical knowledge developed over millennia, and in different schools and settings. What has come to today allows us to reconstruct only part Chinese medical experience, and already this is an inexhaustible source of knowledge. Currently the best-known model and applied as part of Chinese medicine is the TCM (Traditional Chinese Medicine) which consists of a set of teachings systematized in the '50s at the behest of Mao Zedong. But remember that there are other far more ancient and complex models, such as that of 'Imperial Academy (the Song period) and classical Chinese Medicine (short CCM, Han Period). There are also many other models, little known or completely unknown, as the School of the Turtle Wonderful.

What unites these different schools is a vision of physiology (and pathology) of the human organism in which we consider the different forms of energy involved, their structure in the individual, their relationships and their careers, their meanings in the therapeutic area . The energy audit will take into account a multitude of symptoms and signs (as in Western medicine) and they, through a logical process of analogical (and not purely causal, as in scientific medicine) and evaluates the condition input is possible energy of the individual and the possible therapeutic solutions, which are implemented by different means and approaches through the use of external means (needles, moxa, cupping) or internal (natural pharmaceutical products) and through direct action on energy 'individual (massage). The aim is to restore proper energy balance, and possibly "Pointing the way" self-healing organism. Do not forget also the importance in the therapeutic of all that the individual can actively and independently (prepared as a guide) to achieve / maintain their health (diet, Qi Gong).

The various therapeutic approaches have generally external to the individual as an object specific energy objectives:

Organs and Viscera: are energy structures whose functions are sometimes and in the functions of any organs in scientific medicine. For example, the Lung (Fei) in Chinese medicine is responsible for collecting the energy of Heaven (Tian Qi) and does this through breathing. However, it is also home to a spirit (Po), deals with the distribution of energy and in particular the Wei Qi (a type of energy), is associated with the skin, lowers certain types of liquids to the Kidney (Shen), etc. .
Meridians: they are preferential routes of energy (there are different types) in the body at various depth levels and with different extensions. The energy meridian system is compared to an irrigation system and the meridians themselves are often mentioned as channels. Each presides over special functions and properties.
Points: points in the system of channels are like little dams or storage areas. Point (Xue) in Chinese indicates a cave, a cavity, and indeed many acupuncture points correspond to areas where "there is less matter" in the body (eg, perforations of the superficial fascia). You may also think that the system of points and meridians correspond to an implicit duality of manifestation of energy, as does light, which can be considered the wave or particle.

Any medical model mentioned above (MTC, Imperial Academy, MCC) attaches importance to different organs, meridians and points and keep a reading in their own interpretation of key energy, consistent within their own system of knowledge and sometimes not comparable with the 'setting of the other. It can be said that in principle every medical model should be followed exclusively because it is a coherent and distinct place to interpret the full range of clinical potential. However, become familiar with different approaches, some "combinations" between models can be implemented. It is also true that some models are better adapted to certain diseases, so is knowledge and familiarity of the therapist to choose the best approach, also based on its characteristics and personal convictions.
