Asian Bodywork Therapy does not diagnose Western medical conditions, but rather treats the person according to a Chinese medicine assessment. Methods of assessment and evaluation may include the Chinese Four Pillars of examination: observing, listening, asking, and touching. Touch is the main healing ingredient. Treatment may include touching, pressing, or holding along the meridians and/or on acupoints, range of motion of the joints, and dietary or exercise suggestions.

The client is facilitated through a treatment that balances energy, encourages the flow of qi through the meridians, mobilizes tissues and releases restriction while increasing the mobility of the joints. Circulation of qi, blood and lymph is enhanced.

Wear loose comfortable clothing, as you will remain fully clothed during the treatment. Treatment is most often done on a massage table, but can be done lying on a mat on the floor or seated.
