Japanese Acupuncture

Acupuncture blends Classical TCM and Japanese Meridian Theory with structural and myofascial techniques for the treatment of pain, soft tissue injuries, postural imbalances and other general systemic disorders.Expanding a traditional acupuncture overview to include the physical manifestations of injury i.e. tight muscles and trigger points that are the result of structural imbalances, disease processes, emotional holding patterns and pain, years of chronic constrictions can yield in relatively few sessions.
Acupuncture is used as a "physical therapy" to release the muscular, skeletal and emotional holding patterns that are the root causes of tension, pain, postural assymmetries, the precursors of injury, and the residues of internal disease.
The aim of treatment is to create a harmonious balance within the musculoskeletal and meridian systems that generates healing and promotes overall health and well-being.
Drawing upon the works of Dr. Mark Seem (Acupuncture Physical Medicine), Kiko Matsumoto, Shudo Denmai, the trigger point therapy of Dr. Janet Travell and other traditional practitioners, this method incorporates the best from both eastern and western medical practices.

What is the definition of perverse energy in five element acupuncture

  In Five Element Acupuncture, the term "perverse energy" refers to an abnormal or disharmonious flow of energy within the body and its meridians (energy channels). It represents an imbalance or disruption in the natural circulation of Qi (vital energy) through the elemental pathways. Perverse energy can manifest in various ways, such as excessive or stagnant energy, energy flowing in the wrong direction, or energy being blocked or dispersed improperly. It is considered to be a deviation from the healthy and balanced flow of energy that supports overall well-being. When perverse energy occurs, it can disrupt the functioning of organs, meridians, and the mind, leading to physical symptoms, emotional imbalances, and a general sense of unwellness. It is believed to be influenced by factors such as lifestyle, emotions, external pathogens, or constitutional weaknesses. The concept of perverse energy is important in Five Element Acupuncture because it helps identify and address und...

Understanding the internal ecosystem in Asian medicine

  In Asian medicine, particularly in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), the concept of the "internal ecosystem" refers to the dynamic and interconnected systems within the body that contribute to overall health and well-being. It encompasses various aspects, including organ systems, energy channels, and the balance of yin and yang energies. Here's a brief explanation of the internal ecosystem in Asian medicine: Organ Systems: Asian medicine recognizes the vital role of organ systems in maintaining health.

The organs are believed to interact and influence one another, forming a complex network that affects overall health. Energy Channels: Asian medicine describes the body as having a network of energy channels or meridians through which vital energy, called Qi, flows. These channels connect various organs, tiss...
