Application of Tui-Na in Veterinary Medicine
Medical Reference Professional Development Traditional Chinese Medicine Veterinary Medicine Alternative & Holistic Animal Care Animal Care & Welfare
“Application of Tui-na in Veterinary Medicine” is the 2013 hard-cover reference that finally gives Western-trained vets a step-by-step, science-based gateway into Chinese medical bodywork. Written by three internationally recognized clinicians—Huisheng Xie, Xiaolin Deng and Bruce Ferguson—the book distills thousands of years of Tui-na technique into protocols you can apply the same day you open the covers. Every maneuver is broken down with positioning photos, anatomical overlays and comparative-acupoint charts so you know exactly where to place your hands on horses, dogs and cats. For practitioners looking to expand pain-management options without adding pharmaceuticals, this is the single most practical bridge between Eastern meridian theory and evidence-based veterinary rehabilitation.
Buyers prize this copy because it is the durable, library-bound edition that stays open on a treatment table and survives frequent sanitizing. The 300+ detailed illustrations are crisp and high-contrast, making it easy to follow subtle hand movements and vector directions while you work. Beyond technique, the authors supply dosage guidance, precaution lists and outcome tracking sheets—tools that let you document results for clients and insurers. Whether you run an integrative clinic, volunteer for a shelter, or teach veterinary students, the book functions as both a quick visual manual and a semester-length curriculum.
Condition notes: only the front end-paper shows the light foxing typical of high-humidity storage; the remaining pages are spotless, odor-free and unmarked, and the binding is tight. From a smoke-free home, this copy is ready to slip straight onto a practitioner’s shelf or a student’s backpack. For professionals wanting to add low-stress, hands-on therapy to their service menu—or pet owners seeking holistic ways to keep older animals comfortable—this illustrated hardcover is the authoritative, in-demand guide that rarely appears on the secondary market.
