About the Event

Jelka Meier, a teacher of Chinese Kung Fu and Qi Gong, as well as a certified naturopath, has been practicing the traditional Chinese martial art of Tai Sheng Mun Kung Fu, also known as Chinese Monkey Boxing, since 1994.

Tie Ta Tuina medicine originates from traditional Chinese healing arts and was developed within the martial arts of Kung Fu. Today, it is used to treat chronic and acute pain in the musculoskeletal system.

Tie Ta Tuina therapy is a branch of traditional Chinese medicine. Its direct origins lie in the Chinese martial arts of Kung Fu. Due to the rigorous and intense training, injuries were frequent. Over time, a comprehensive healing knowledge evolved within Kung Fu. This knowledge has been, and still is, passed down from grandmaster to master to student. In earlier times, the great masters often treated local populations in remote areas, as access to city doctors was often too far away.

How does Tie Ta Tuina therapy work?‍

In cases of tension or injuries to the fascia, muscles, tendons, ligaments, and joints, or in post-operative care, the affected areas are massaged, tapped with sticks, and treated with herbal tinctures.

Why tapping?‍

Injuries or overuse in the musculoskeletal system can lead to hardened and adhered structures over time (myogelosis). This reduces elasticity in the affected areas, which may decrease nutrient transport and blood circulation. This cycle can lead to restricted mobility and pain. Various forms of back pain, stiff necks, or conditions like "mouse arm" can be among the resulting complaints. Tapping and massages can help treat these hardened and adhered tissue structures.

Possible Applications Include:

• Post-treatment for herniated discs, torn ligaments or muscle fibers, bruises, sprains
