Lights! Action! The ABT Art of Enhancing Dry Theory (opens the original)
Read excerpt
This article champions the art of bringing clinical case studies to life by incorporating vibrant, real-world details, a practice central to Asian Bodywork Therapy (ABT).

To truly understand a patient's condition, especially with repetitive-stress injuries, a practitioner should observe them in their environment—watching a cook toss a wok or a d

Spirits of the Points: Three Heater Official (Pt. 3) (opens the original)
Read excerpt
This article delves into the spiritual and emotional significance of several points on the Three Heater (Sanjiao) meridian, offering insights beyond their physical applications. The author explores each point's name to reveal its deeper function in balancing the body, mind, and spirit for "fire-imbalanced" patients.
