DDA were again invited by Ms. Michelle Sans of the Alliance for Global Education, a non-profit partnership of Arcadia University and Butler University’s study abroad colleges, to host a TCM introductory activity covering aspects of Chinese medicine and treatment therapy, for a new party of American students taking part in the Alliance’s joint social and language programme with Fudan University.

The thirteen American students visited Dr. Li Yong’s Conjoint Health Advisory Service on Cao Yang Rd, where Dr. Li, with Rose Oliver acting as translator, introduced the students to TCM’s approach to illness diagnosis, treatment methods, particularly related to acupuncture and tuina massage therapies for a variety of common ailments and conditions.

Some of the students also got to experience some acupuncture treatment and massage therapy for neck and back pain.
?
?
?
After the introduction, the students learned some tuina massage techniques, practicing massage along the gallbladder meridian, learning the exact weight and pressure desired to deliver the stroking and percussion techniques.

?
?
The students thoroughly enjoyed the interactive workshop, especially trying out the techniques on their classmates!

Thanks again to Michelle for inviting DDA to organize another workshop for their Global Education Programme and thank you to Dr. Li for another fascinating lecture.
