Overview

With the increasing use of tuina in clinical settings worldwide, there is a need to develop benchmarks for the practice of tuina, against which actual tuina treatment can be compared and evaluated. This document presents a stepwise guidance for the administration of tuina treatment, provides the minimum infrastructure requirements for delivering a tuina service and emphasizes the key elements for the safe practice of tuina.

This document offers a useful reference point to evaluate tuina practice which will benefit policymakers, health workers, education providers and the public in general. It forms an integral part of the updated benchmark series, targeting key modalities of traditional medicine intervention and contributing to the establishment of a reference toolkit for countries.
