Description

Stephen Birch, a brilliant teacher and writer with a lot of experience in pediatric acupuncture especially in Japanese Acupuncture and Shonishin shows why Shonishin is perfect for treatment for children and babies. He shows a treatment video how to treat babies and that there is no pain for the babie. He presents the treatment model for treating babies with Shonishin and gives a historical background in Chinese acupuncture, how it came to Japan and why it is perfect for treating children and babies. Then he shows how to diagnose babies as well as general treatment principles. Then he goes into the different treatment levels and shows treatment approaches by presenting some video sequences.

You will see needling techniques, Shonishin tools (stroking tools) and home treatments for parents. Later he will present several case studies and explains symptoms and the therapy in detail. This video gives you a great feeling how Shonishin works and a good impression if this could be integrated in your practice and if you want to take classes in this.

More information about Medical:

Medicine is the science and practice of establishing the diagnosis, prognosis, treatment, and prevention of disease.
Medicine encompasses a variety of health care practices evolved to maintain and restore health by the prevention and treatment of illness.
Contemporary medicine applies biomedical sciences, biomedical research, genetics, and medical technology to diagnose, treat, and prevent injury and disease,
typically through pharmaceuticals or surgery, but also through therapies as diverse as psychotherapy, external splints and traction, medical devices, biologics, and ionizing radiation, amongst others.

Medicine has been around for thousands of years, during most of which it was an art (an area of skill and knowledge) frequently having connections to the religious and
philosophical beliefs of local culture. For example, a medicine man would apply herbs and say prayers for healing, or an ancient philosopher and physician would apply bloodletting according to the theories of humorism.
In recent centuries, since the advent of modern science, most medicine has become a combination of art and science (both basic and applied, under the umbrella of medical science).
While stitching technique for sutures is an art learned through practice, the knowledge of what happens at the cellular and molecular level in the tissues being stitched arises through science.
