The Certificate Asian Bodywork Therapy/Tuina is a clinically-oriented program
in Chinese structural hand therapy in the tradition of the North American Tang
Shou Tao Association.
The Asian Bodywork Therapy/Tuina courses are an integral part of the degree
programs at ASAOM, and degree students automatically qualify for the A.B.T./
Tuina Certificate at the end of their second year of acupuncture training.
The Tuina instructors are journeymen tuina practitioners who learned their
craft by apprenticeship with Dr. Vincent Black at the Four Winds Health Clinic
in Tucson, AZ.
Persons who desire to become competent practitioners of Tuina without taking
the full acupuncture program are welcome to enroll only for the A.B.T./Tuina
Certificate. They must meet the admissions requirements for the Master's degree.
In the event of a later decision to complete a degree, A.B.T./ Tuina courses
are fully credited.
