COURSE PHILOSOPHY
Learn the reasoning behind a structured Tuina sequence

Understand why before learning how
Uncle Lim begins with TCM meridians and commonly used points, helping students understand connections between body regions, placement and direction of movement.
- Learn meridians and commonly used points
- Understand placement and direction
- Build foundations for observing physical condition
Personal demonstrations and immediate feedback
Students practise hands-on while the instructor observes posture, use of body weight, pressure, rhythm and sequence, making corrections as they work.
- Watch a demonstration, then practise
- Receive corrections on posture and force
- Repeat techniques to build consistency
Learn to adapt your approach
After learning the full sequence, students practise observing different physical conditions and adjusting focus areas, techniques, pressure and order for practical use.
- Observe different physical conditions
- Choose the focus of a session
- Adjust according to responses

TCM CONSULTATION BASICS
Foundations of TCM consultation
Learn observation, listening and smelling, questioning and palpation to gather information about physical condition, main concerns and lifestyle, then consider areas, pressure and sequence for Tuina.
Discuss the main concern, when it started, patterns of change, lifestyle and relevant history.
Gather physical information from different aspects.
Plan areas requiring attention, pressure and sequence.
These consultation foundations support information gathering and Tuina planning. They do not amount to medical diagnosis.
