History

The classical Chinese medicine theory was imported from China to Japan more than 1000 years ago and it has been cultivated and refined in a special way in the Japanese culture since then, which bearded a fruit of the Japanese Meridian Therapy Acupuncture (JMTA). It is fundamentally based on the Chinese classics such as Nan-Jing and Huang-Di-Nei-Jing with the essence of sophisticated Japanese culture, which manifests in the theory and the techniques.

Theory

The basic idea of JMTA is to balance the energy of the life based on the five element theory of the Chinese medicine (CM). The main difference between JMTA and CM is that JMTA emphasis more on perceiving what is actually going on the patient at each moment during the session and flexibly adjusting the techniques according the manifestations of the energy balance of the patient.

JMTA uses various techniques, including the following: contact needling, moxibustion (a heat therapy with dried refined herb), superficial needle insertion, middle needle insertion, deep insertion, short term retention, long-term retention, Hifushin (brushing needle technique), Sanshin (taping needling technique).

The characteristic feature of the techniques used in JMTA is its sophistication. It employs essential techniques of Qi Gong into every aspect of treatment techniques. It also represents high level of craftsmanship of the Japanese culture famous in such industry as "manufacturing cars". JMTA doctors generally devote into practice of needling techniques in regular basis.
