An international teacher, he has developed his own Wenzhu therapy based on Japanese concepts, using rhythmic techniques to activate and balance the energy flow throughout the body. The method can be used to treat stress, anxiety, stiffness and muscle pain. He has published two books about this unique treatment.
日式無痛理療技法
Ontake Warm Bamboo is a unique therapy created by British acupuncturist Oran Kivity. It combines different traditional Japanese physiotherapy concepts and has won several international healing awards.
A short piece of bamboo is filled with moxa wool. When the moxa is ignited, the bamboo gets warm and can be applied to the skin as a heated massage tool. The bamboo can be held, tapped, pressed or rolled rhythmically on the skin.
Additionally, with the use of a metronome, these techniques can be applied at specific frequencies of beats per minute. This Meridian Frequency Moxibustion is an extension of the pioneering work in Japan by Dr Yoshio Manaka on the meridian frequencies and the effect of different frequencies on muscular tension.
From the receiver’s point of view, this is an extremely relaxing treatment. The warmth of the bamboo, the smell of the burning moxa and the ticking of the metronome combine almost hypnotically to calm and relax the mind, allowing the knots in your muscles to melt away.
