224 Integrating Sensing and Thinking Through the Lens of Japanese Acupuncture • Paul Movessian

Our job as clinicians is to help our patients. And to help them we must first understand them. Which is easier said than done, especially as we all have different ways of being in the world, our perception has a lot to do with which senses we like to rely upon and the way we frame the world in turn frames our treatments.

In this conversation with Paul Movsessian we touch on the sensate world of Japanese acupuncture, noodle on the innovative and imaginative work of Dr Manaka and explore how the softest of touches with a needle can bring about significant shifts in a patient’s physiology.

Listen into this discussion of palpation, five phase energetics, and the significant role of sensing in Japanese acupuncture.
