Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I've found this book an excellent reference for xiao har tui na (pediatric massage), however, it lacks cohesiveness between treatments and formulas. The formulas are in the back of the book, and they're in English (rather than Chinese). The points, too, are in English, making it somewhat difficult for students, like myself, who know the Chinese names. Overall, I highly recommend this book. Maybe the next edition will bring the treatments and formulas together (and in Chinese first, too - after all, it _is_ Chinese medicine).

' A leading practitioner of Chinese medicine provides Western therapists with a comprehensive, illustrated handbook for the noninvasive treatment of childhood conditions.
' Provides alternatives to Western medicine that are more tolerable to children and better for their long-term health.
' With over 200 drawings and photographs to guide practitioners through the massage treatments in the text.
' A valuable addition to the repertoire of any health practitioner.
A noninvasive alternative to conventional Western medicine, Chinese pediatric massage provides practitioners with greater flexibility in choosing a successful course of treatment to improve the health and energy of children without overwhelming their systems. Chinese pediatric massage has fewer side effects than other forms of treatment, making it more tolerable for children, easier on their parents, and more effective in improving the patient's long-term health.
This clearly illustrated guide is designed to give all health care providers--massage therapists, homeopathic and allopathic practitioners, and bodyworkers--who know the general concepts of traditional Chinese medicine the tools and knowledge they need to successfully use Chinese pediatric massage in treating their patients. Effective on children from birth through preadolescence, Chinese pediatric massage is a valuable therapeutic addition to the repertoire of any practitioner. It considers how a child's energetic framework differs from that of an adult, and accounts for these physiological and anatomical differences through assessment, point locations, and treatment.
