Eti,

 

When I'm dealing with an injury, particularly an athletic

injury, I like to treat as rapidly and frequently as the

patient can tolerate. When dealing with professional or

dedicated amateur athletes, one generally doesn't have to

goad them into getting better, and as long as the desired

results obtain, they come daily or as needed. I've treated

at ringside between matches when people only have ten or

fifteen minutes to get relief from fairly serious injuries.

Point being that treatment strategies, very much including

frequency and length of treatment have to be geared to the

situation. In all cases I urge patients to continue being

treated until the injury or other problem has been resolved

to our mutual satisfaction.

 

When dealing with chronic problems as with geriatric patients

I try to get people out of treatment and into Taiji as early

as possible. Over the years I've found that those who shift

over from being patients to being students engaged in the

cultivation of qi and the preservation of vitality tend to

fare far better than those who remain fixated on solving

their problems far too late.

 

Maybe if you ask more detailed questions, I can provide

more specific information. I can't really tell from the

question you asked if you're looking for answers to some

specific kinds of problems or were just generally interested

in my overall approach. So I answer from the latter

perspective.

Ken, I was interested in your overall approach and how to integrate this

concept into my own framework of traetment. I feel that patients do the healing,

 

we as physicians provide the cure, and there is a fundamental difference between

 

the two. Allowing the patient to engage in their process, teaching them

awareness and Qi/vitality cultivation can harmonize and balance the circadian

rythms, body functions, cycles... beautiful. A good tool indeed. Thank you, Eti
