I. Overview of Tui Na What is Tui Na? It is a means of treating disease by applying certain techniques to the human body surface. In ancient times, Tui Na was called massage, stilt press, and case N (wù). The name “massage” is still used in many areas of China. Massage was renamed Tui Na is a historical leap, it reflects the development of this therapy and people’s understanding of the improvement of the technique. Early massage indications are few, the corresponding types of techniques are also few, commonly used in two kinds of massage and massage techniques. After with the expansion of the scope of treatment, there has been a corresponding development of the technique, the variety of techniques gradually increased, it is no longer limited to the “press” and “Mo” on, it can be said that the massage is called massage, marking a leap in the history of the development of massage. Second, the role of massage: 1, dredge the meridians, blood circulation; 2, tendon repair, smooth joints; 3, adjust the function of the internal organs, enhance the ability to resist disease. Third, the mechanism of action of massage (three base materials) 1, improve circulation, promote blood stasis, congestion, tissue fluid absorption, accelerate edema subsidence. 2, there is a sedative or stimulating effect on the nervous system. 3.It has the effect of improving muscle tension and muscle nutrition. 4. It has a promoting effect on the whole body metabolism, and through skin stimulation can also cause the release of histamine-like substances and capillary dilation. Tui Na is an important means of rehabilitation for cerebral palsy and is an important supplement to modern rehabilitation therapy. Tui Na manipulation acts on the twelve dermal parts and affects the corresponding inner organs through the meridian system to adjust their physiological functions. When the spleen and stomach are healthy and the liver qi is well regulated, the qi and blood are harmonized, so the child’s physical condition is strengthened and the body’s ability to resist disease and repair itself is improved, resulting in fewer respiratory and gastrointestinal diseases. The enhanced physical strength is beneficial to the growth and development of the child and reduces the number of days off from treatment due to illness. The child is able to adhere to more rehabilitative training, which buys more time for early recovery. The therapy can also improve muscle strength and tone and correct abnormal posture. Pediatric Tuina is a simple, easy to use, child-friendly, non-toxic side effects of traditional Chinese medicine external treatment. infant and toddler developmental delay, pediatric enhancement of physical and intellectual ability. Main application 1 – High muscle tone (spastic cerebral palsy, hemiplegia, sequelae of encephalitis, delayed motor development, etc.) Corrective techniques together with Tui Na treatment for spastic cerebral palsy have the ability to regulate yin and yang, dredge meridians, activate blood circulation, resolve blood stasis, and facilitate joints to relieve muscle spasm, reduce muscle tone, improve joint mobility, improve muscle atrophy, correct abnormal posture , and importantly, promoting normal motor development, which has a better therapeutic rehabilitation effect on children with cerebral palsy. Main application 2 – Peripheral nerve injury (neonatal brachial plexus nerve injury, post-polio paralysis and other lower limb paralysis) Tui Na treatment for peripheral nerve injury has the ability to unblock meridians, move Qi and blood, improve blood circulation, prevent muscle atrophy, promote tension and muscle strength recovery. The main application is pediatric myxedema. Pediatric myxedema, commonly known as “crooked neck”, is a condition characterized by the skewing of the child’s head to the affected side and the rotation of the face to the healthy side. Clinically, except for a very few cases caused by spinal deformity, visual impairment and neck muscle paralysis, myotonic squint is usually caused by contracture of the sternocleidomastoid muscle on one side. The rehabilitation of pediatric myelomeningocele lies in early diagnosis and early treatment. Tui-na is the most effective method in the conservative treatment of pediatric myotonic squint. Except for a few cases where the effect is not satisfactory because of the long duration of the disease, large masses and hard texture, more significant results can be achieved in general.
