Meridian Therapy is a tool every therapist should attempt to learn and understand. Meridians offer great insight into the physical and emotional body and allow therapists to consider case histories and disorders in a practical way allowing for a more accurate treatment plan.

The ancient Chinese observed that when the body has internal problems it shows this by pain, rash or some other sign physically or emotionally. The body does not do anything without cause. By learning about the meridians and five phases we will come to understand this cause and learn not to dismiss the actions of the body because we fail to understand it.

A rash on the hand or a mysterious pain behind the knee reveals a great deal about what is happening internally. Each says something about our behaviour and our thinking. The key to interpreting these mysterious symptoms is learning how and where energy flows in the body. This is the understanding of meridian therapy, yet another key to reading the body.

Meridian Therapy is a traditional health system that grasps all diseases as a condition of deficiency or excess chi or blood in the meridians. The therapist uses her/his skills to tonify or disperse the chi in order to bring about balance in the body.
