Abstract:
Through the experiences in the clinical application of Liu Kai-yun's five-meridian theory of Tuina for children and consulting the relevant literatures, the following academic features of Tuina for children in western Hunan district are summarized in this paper: selecting the acupoints according to the pattern/syndrome differentiation and giving the treatment according to the meridian tropism theory; emphasizing the property of the body constitution and applying the reinforcing and reducing techniques; exquisitely combining the acupoints based on the five-meridian theory; coordinating the opening and closing techniques and regulating yin and yang. All of those provided the reference for the theoretic application of this Tuina school.
