TEMASEK Applied Science School launched a structured
training on acupressure (Tui Na,推拿) in March. This is
a first for Singapore where many acupressure practitioners
only have a limited knowledge of body mechanics and
understanding of the legal and ethical aspects of professional
practices.
Having done evidence-based research projects in Traditional
Chinese Medicine (TCM) over the last four years, the
School has gradually built up a solid reputation for
technical competence in the field.
With greater acceptance of TCM by the general population,
the School recognised that there is a growing local
market for acupressure, which can be used for therapeutics,
as well as to enhance health and well-being.
The part-time certificate and diploma courses in acupressure
were conducted in collaboration with the Singapore College
of Traditional Chinese Medicine.
