Martial Arts Training To Prevent, Heal, Rehabilitate And Fix Injuries And Diseases
Western medicine is typically focused on treating symptoms and finding scientifically measurable cause and effect. Western medicine can explain how some diseases happen but cannot explain why diseases happen. Western science can confidently link certain illnesses and diseases to certain causes. In many instances, they can only associate certain health problems with possible causes.
Eastern medicine can explain why diseases happen, oftentimes through imbalances in the body or between the individual and the environment. Eastern medicine will examine a complex pattern of factors to arrive at a diagnosis, essentially the interaction of energies. Western medicine has difficulty considering these complexities.
Traditional Eastern medicine uses four levels of treatment: 1. Physical Forms and Movement; 2. Massage (Tui Na); 3. Accupuncture; and 4. Herbs/Medicine.
For obvious injuries, martial arts training balances, prevents and fixes most repetitive stress injuries and trauma to the joints, major muscle groups and fascia.
In Western medicine, strains and tears to the muscles, ligaments, tendons and joints are typically fixed with freezing, immobilization and, in the extreme case, surgery, followed by physical therapy to regain strength, flexibility and range of motion.
In Eastern medicine, forms and movement are used to bring fresh blood to the injury and remove dead cells to naturally speed up the healing process without losing range of motion while simultaneously building strength and flexibility.
