Torsten Liem studied acupuncture in Beijing in 1989 and has spent the last 30 years combining osteopathic palpation findings, trigger point treatment and scientific approaches to peripheral and central sensitisation with traditional Chinese acupuncture. This has led to the development of a new form of needling known as osteopathic acupuncture.
If necessary, osteopathic acupuncture or traditional Chinese acupuncture can be used to support osteopathy. The basis is not only the energetic concepts of yin/yang and the five phases of change, pulse and tongue diagnosis, but also findings of peripheral and central sensitisation, as well as scientific studies on the inhibition of pain mediators in the posterior horn of the spinal cord, e.g. in the case of chronic pain, as well as osteopathic knowledge of tissue palpation, somatosensory therapy and osteopathy.For example, in the case of chronic pain, as well as osteopathic knowledge of tissue palpation, somatic dysfunction, viscerosomatic and somatovisceral reflex mechanisms and knowledge of dermatomes, myotomes, viscerotomes, neurotomes, fasciotomes, etc.
By specifically approaching certain osteopathic acupuncture points, the energetic pathways of the body (meridians) as well as the nervous, neurovegetative and hormonal disorder complexes and the associated organ functions can be brought into balance and thus support the recovery process.
With my blog I would like to make the field of holistic health consisting of expert knowledge and practical insights on MIND, BODY and LIFESTYLE accessible to the general public.
