American Organization for Bodywork
Therapies of Asia
- Chesapeake Chapter
|
| Throughout the
history of traditional healing arts in China and East Asian
countries, the focus has
been on treating the mind, body and spirit as one entity with
many facets. The concept of Qi (Chi or Ki) as the Vital Energy
is at the core of the therapeutic model. Bodywork Therapies
of Asia use this knowledge to encourage balance of the Qi.
Nutrition and lifestyle factors may be addressed. |
 |
| Asian Bodywork Therapies include
modalities of practice such as Shiatsu (Zen, Five Element,
Eclectic, TCM, etc.), Tui Na, Amma, Acupressure, Thai Massage
and others. The benefits of these modalities of bodywork include
pain relief and facilitation of the body’s own healing
abilities. Many clients have experienced relief from long-term
chronic imbalances as well as from daily stresses, aches and
pains. A person of any age will benefit from this experience.
Generally designed to be gentle and non-invasive, these modalities
offer a high level of effectiveness. Clients typically remain
fully clothed. Oils and lotions are used infrequently. All Asian
Bodywork Therapists in the Chapter have completed specialized
training, and many have passed a national certification examination
and are licensed under the Maryland Chiropractic Board of Examiners,
the Virginia Board of Nursing, the Delaware Board of Massage
and Bodywork or the District of Columbia Board of Massage Therapy. |
