Application Of Tui-Na In Veterinary Medicine

First-edition hardback of “Application of Tui-Na in Veterinary Medicine” (2013, Wiley-Blackwell) is the only English-language textbook that translates the 2,000-year-old Chinese manipulative therapy into step-by-step protocols for dogs, cats, and horses. Prof. Huisheng Xie, founder of the Chi Institute, joins Drs. Xiaolin Deng and Bruce Ferguson to show how meridian massage, stretching, acupressure, and joint mobilization can replace or complement drugs and surgery. Every sequence is photographed in full color, with anatomical overlays that let you see exactly where to place your hands, how much pressure to use, and for how long—turning a novice into a confident practitioner.
What makes this copy collector-grade is its immaculate interior: no highlighting, margin notes, or cracked hinges—only light foxing on the front endpapers that disappears behind the dust jacket. At 400+ pages, the book is heavily illustrated yet still compact enough for clinic-side reference. Readers gain instant access to treatment plans for arthritis, intervertebral disc disease, post-operative recovery, anxiety, and geriatric weakness, plus pulse and tongue charts that integrate Tui-Na with TCVM pattern diagnosis. CPD credits are mapped out for veterinarians pursuing IVAS or Chi certification.
Because Wiley-Blackwell let the title go out of print, demand has surged among vet-tech programs, holistic practices, and animal physiotherapists. A pristine hardcover now trades for double the original list price on auction sites. Whether you’re a student who needs the definitive text for exams, an owner looking to ease an elderly pet’s discomfort, or a practitioner adding low-stress, drug-free options to your menu, this copy delivers authoritative content in the most durable format available.
