Leaving you sparkling with Qi CHINESE medicine believes that all disease is caused by imbalances or blockages in the flow of Qi – the energy that flows through the meridians, supplying all of the organs in the body, our tissue and our brain. Whereas, in the West, we might visit an osteopath, chiropractor, physiotherapist or sports therapist if we were in pain, in China we would be more likely to visit a practitioner of Tui Na. Ranbir Virk, who practices Tui Na at Arcturus Clinic in Totnes said: “Tui Na is one of the most ancient healing arts of classical Chinese medicine. The name comes from Tui, meaning “push” and Na meaning “grasp”. It is so called because it is a vigorous, hands-on form of healing. I see people suffering from conditions like: frozen shoulder, shoulder pain, lower back pain, tennis elbow, ankle and knee problems, numbness in the arms, hands, feet and legs, neck pain, sciatica, insomnia, and night sweats.” The treatment isn’t only suitable

for physical conditions, though. Ranbir also sees people who feel ‘stuck”, either mentally, emotionally or spiritually, as well as people who are lacking energy or feeling constantly tired. He explained: “Tui Na applies pressure to the meridians and specific points along them. It affects the flow of Qi/energy so that it moves freely and evenly through the body. The distribution of Qi within the body has profound effects on all aspects of our wellbeing, emotional, spiritually and physically. When your Qi is balanced you feel relaxed, confident, full of energy and enthusiasm. You are more likely to be free from stiffness, aches and pains, full of vigour and sparkling with Qi.”
