Past Classes

Jin Shou Tuina

September 26, 2026 Full day seminar
Confluence Acupuncture

Tuina is an ancient form of manual therapy informed by and integral to Chinese Medicine. It combines joint manipulation with manual techniques, targeting acupoints and increasing the flow of Qi (energy) through the body’s channel system. It’s a highly effective form of healthcare that works on both a physical and energetic level to relieve pain and stiffness, reduce stress and inflammation, improve circulation, and maintain overall health.

Jin Shou means golden hand, which was the name given to Gong Fu Master Hsu Hong-Chi by his Tuina patients in Taiwan. His method, taught here, is a complete whole-body sequence of techniques with a focus on gentle, but highly specific manipulation of the joints of the body. It is complemented by other Chinese Medicine modalities like herbal therapy, moxibustion and cupping.

November Weekend Seminar at Confluence Acupuncture, details TBD. Please contact us for more info.
