Tui-na
What is Tui-na? It is one of the five branches of Traditional Chinese Veterinary Medicine (TCVM). Tui-na is a form of Chinese medical massage therapy that is often used to prevent and treat disease. It is often linked with acupuncture as it is used to regulate the Channels, promote health joints and sinews, and improve circulation of Qi and Blood. It is most commonly used to treat acute and chronic musculoskeletal conditions and to strengthen the immune system.
The benefits to Tui-na are amazing but not limited to helping with for anxiety and fear-based conditions, for muscle tension, spasms, strains, and trigger point pain. It is great for at-home treatment of many conditions treated with acupuncture between acupuncture sessions and can be used in conjunction with, and to enhance, acupuncture and herbal treatments.
Animal Care
Beyond basic husbandry and grooming services, all medical cases should be discussed and followed up with the client’s veterinarian. I believe in having a working relationship between the veterinarian, client/patient and myself…all of our goals should be the same. A healthy, happy, and balanced life.
