3 generations of practitioners talk about all things Tui Na and acupuncture. Dr Chris is joined by guests Martin McKenzie and Ivan McWilliams, Chinese Medicine practitioners in Australia with a passion for Tui Na massage.

After studying Oriental medicine and practices such as qigong and shiatsu, Martin found himself as a student to Ivan in an 8-month apprenticeship where he learned first-hand the clinical application of Tui Na. Since then, the pair have remained close and after almost a decade of gathering techniques, case studies, treatment approaches, and protocols, they are now on the home stretch of completing their collaborative effort - Tui Na: an integrative approach - a comprehensive guide and resource for students and practitioners.

We apologies for the technical difficulties we experienced in the last 5 minutes of filming.
