Learn how to treat children using tui na and other techniques with Elisa Rossi at the College of Integrated Chinese Medicine, Reading.
This seminar is mainly based on interaction and small groups, using problem-solving learning.
Using specific physio-pathology in children as the starting point, we will discuss the main patterns and treatment guidelines:
• physiology, aetiology, semeiotics, pathogenesis in children
• localisation and function of child-specific points, lines and areas
• specific paediatric tui na techniques
• diagnosis of the clinical pattern of the most common disorders (winter respiratory diseases, poor appetite, fever, gastrointestinal disorders, sleep troubles, hyperactivity, retarded psycho-physical development)
• use of guasha, moxibustion, plum-blossom needle, ear-seeds
• discussion and choice of treatment sequences
• hints for teaching the sequences to parents
• case discussion or direct treatment of young patients
• DVD on clinical practice at the Xiaoxiao Children’s Centre
