Oriental bodywork therapy
The treatment of the human body, including the electromagnetic or energetic field which surrounds, infuses, and brings that body to life, by pressure and/or manipulation. This approach is based upon traditional oriental medical principles for assessing and evaluating the energetic system, and traditional oriental techniques and treatment strategies to primarily affect and balance the energetic system, for the purpose of treating the human body, emotions, mind, energy field and spirit for the promotion, maintenance and restoration of health.
When based on appropriate education, adjunctive modalities within the scope of oriental bodywork therapy are non-invasive. They include, but are not limited to, pressure devices, application of hot and cold, external application of herbal or chemical preparation, electromagnetic treatment modalities, and education regarding appropriate principles of diet and therapeutic exercices.
