These videos are for parents of children who have been seen by a qualified acupuncturist, and who have been given a paediatric tui na routine to perform on their child at home. Every child will need a different routine, based on a TCM diagnosis.
The videos below are to be used as a guide for how to perform the paediatric tui na routine that I prescribed for your child when you came to the clinic. You should look at the list of moves I gave you, and then find the relevant video as a guide for how to do it.
Each of the moves should be done for between 1-2 minutes, and they should be done together (i.e in one sequence) once or twice a day. Please email me if you have any queries or problems.
Most parents find that after a few days, they become familiar with the routine and can do it with relative ease. They report back that doing the massages on their child provides a great opportunity for them to have a few minutes of one-to-one time together, from which they both benefit.
