Description This book provides a step-by-step introduction and practical guide to palpation as a method of assessment, diagnosis and treatment within
the context of Oriental medicine, and in particular Japanese acupuncture practice. Leading the reader through the "how" and "what" of
touch, around the abdomen (or "hara") and other key areas of the body, the author also explores key acupuncture points for clearing these
areas, as well as Japanese needle techniques. The aim of the book is to allow the reader to have a more vivid and sensitive feel for
what lies below acupuncture meridians and points, and to be able to assess and treat a very wide variety of clinical conditions - with
an understanding of the individual patient - successfully.
Audience:
Traditional Chinese medicine/Oriental medicine students and practitioners.
