Massage Therapy & Tibetan Kunye External Therapies
Kunye is the rich and nuanced system of massage from the tradition of Tibetan Medicine. Kunye includes therapeutic techniques such as warming, cupping, herbal oils, joint mobilization, herbal poultice, hot and cold compresses, special points and more. Our program provides a complete training in the modern practice of massage therapy as well as traditional theory and practice on the clinical applications and indications for Kunye external therapies.
Kunye is relevant for maintaining general health and especially
for balancing our wind element. The physiological wind element
governs the neurological system and relates with our mental/emotional health.
Join us to learn about the many clinical indications and diverse therapeutic techniques of Tibetan Kunye External Therapies.
