  • Complementary and Alternative Medicine
    Complementary and Alternative Medicine Policy Number: Original Effective Date: MM.12.013 01/01/2014 Line(s) of Business: Current Effective Date: HMO; PPO 11/17/2017 Section: Miscellaneous Place(s) of Service: Outpatient I. Description Complementary and alternative medicine (CAM), also called non-traditional medicine, is a group of diverse medical and healthcare systems, practices and products that are not typically considered to be a part of traditional Western medicine (i.e., conventional medicine). This policy addresses services performed by CAM providers such as naturopaths, chiropractors and acupuncturists. Complementary medicine generally refers to using a non-traditional approach together with conventional medicine. Alternative medicine refers to using a non-traditional approach in place of conventional medicine. Various CAM assessments and therapies are supported by some degree of scientific evidence and are intended to reduce disease-based symptoms and to improve health outcomes. However, due to a lack of well-designed scientific studies and/or peer reviewed literature many CAM therapies have not been shown to improve health outcomes over conventional therapies. II. Criteria/Guidelines A CAM service or procedure is covered (subject to Limitations and Administrative Guidelines) when all of the following criteria are met: A. It meets the definition of medical necessity as specified in Hawaii Revised Statutes (HRS) Section 432: 1. It is for the purpose of treating a medical condition. 2. It is the most appropriate delivery or level of service, considering potential benefits and harms to the patient; 3. It is known to be effective in improving health outcomes; provided that: a. Effectiveness is determined first by scientific evidence; b.

  • A Preliminary Survey of the Practice Patterns of United States Guild Certified Feldenkrais Practitionerscm
    Buchanan BMC Complementary and Alternative Medicine 2010, 10:12 http://www.biomedcentral.com/1472-6882/10/12 RESEARCH ARTICLE Open Access A preliminary survey of the practice patterns of United States Guild Certified Feldenkrais PractitionersCM Patricia A Buchanan Abstract Background: The Feldenkrais Method® of somatic education purports to guide people of varying ages and abilities to improve function. Many people choose this method to aid with recovery from injury, manage chronic conditions, or enhance performance even though limited research supporting its safety and effectiveness exists to guide decisions about use and referral. Very little information about practitioner characteristics and practice patterns is publicly available to assist researchers in the design of appropriate safety and effectiveness studies. The purpose of this study was to obtain an initial overview of the characteristics of United States Guild Certified Feldenkrais PractitionersCM. Methods: Of 1300 certified Feldenkrais® practitioners at the time of the study, there were 1193 practitioners with email accounts who were sent invitations to complete a web-based survey. The survey inquired about practice locations, additional credentials, service patterns and workloads during the previous 3 months. Response rate and descriptive statistics were calculated. Results: The survey had a 32.3% (385/1193) response rate. The top states in which responders practiced were California (n = 92) and New York (n = 44). Most responders did not hold other credentials as traditional health care providers or as complementary and alternative medicine providers. Among those who did, the most common credentials were physical therapist (n = 83) and massage therapist (n = 38). Just over a third of traditional health care providers only provided Feldenkrais lessons, compared to 59.3% of complementary and alternative providers.

MINGLE Dissertation Director: Dr. Stephanie Cronenberg Students of voice are trained in complex processes of coordinated movements, many of which occur internally. Somatic education techniques may promote complementary skills, such as the ability to integrate the mind and body, to move with ease and efficiency, and to intervene with awareness and volition against interfering habits. After examining three related approaches to somatic education, a multiple case study was conducted on three professional voice teachers, each of whom is also certified in the somatic education disciplines of the Alexander Technique, the Feldenkrais Method, or Hanna Somatic Education. Each teacher was interviewed three times, and observed teaching four voice lessons. One voice student at each site was interviewed as well. A comparison and analysis of interview and observation data from these contexts may illuminate the ways in which somatic education principles can be applied to the teaching of voice. ii SOMATIC EDUCATION AND VOICE PEDAGOGY For Nana Barbara.

  • Diplomate of Asian Bodywork Therapy Or Dipl
    The NCCAOM® Certification in Asian Bodywork Therapy About Asian Bodywork Therapy Asian Bodywork Therapy (ABT) is the treatment of the human body/mind/spirit, including the electromagnetic or energetic field, which surrounds, infuses and brings that body to life, by pressure and/or manipulation. 1 ABT is based on Chinese medical principles for assessing and evaluating the energetic system. It uses traditional Asian techniques and treatment strategies to primarily affect and balance the energetic system for the purpose of treating the human body, emotions, mind, energy field and spirit for the promotion, maintenance and restoration of health. 1 ABT has existed at least as long as – and perhaps longer than – acupuncture and herbal medicine; it has come to be a recognized form of traditional Chinese medicine only recently. In 1996, the National Certification Commission for Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine (NCCAOM) developed the first certification program in Asian Bodywork Therapy. 2 Asian Bodywork Therapy Forms Under the Asian Bodywork Therapy umbrella, there are many modalities that are specific and distinct entities, including, but not limited to: Acupressure – A system of balancing the body’s energy by applying pressure to specific acupoints to release tension and increase circulation. The many hands-on methods of stimulating the acupressure points can strengthen weaknesses, relieve common ailments, prevent health disorders and restore the body’s vital life force. Amma – A specialized form of skilled (somatic) touch therapy that combines deep tissue bodywork with the application of pressure, friction and touch to specific acupoints, superficial primary and tendino- muscle energy channels, muscles, ligaments and joints. The techniques are aimed to remove blockages and free the flow of Qi (energy) in the body.

Japanese Acupuncture and Moxibustion; 2012; Vol.8(1): 9-17 Translated Articles from JJSAM Assessment and future development of the WHO/WPRO standardization of acupuncture point locations - Questionnaire survey to teachers at Japanese universities, colleges, vocational schools, and training centers for anma-massage-shiatsu, acupuncture and moxibustion therapies - SAKAGUCHI Shunji, KATORI Toshimitsu, KOBAYASHI Kenji, KAWAHARA Yasuhiro, URAYAMA Hisatsugu, AMANO Yosuke, ARAKAWA Midori, TAKAHASHI Daiki, SHINOHARA Shoji, KATAI Shuichi The Second Japan Acupuncture Point Committee Abstract [Objective] In 2006 the WHO/WPRO agreed on standard acupuncture point locations. To promote these standards, in 2009 the Second Japan Acupuncture Standardization Committee published a Japanese edition of "WHO STANDARD ACUPUNCTURE POINT LOCATIONS FOR THE WESTERN PACIFIC REGION". Based on this Japanese edition, a new textbook was published by the Japan Association of Massage & Acupuncture Teachers and the Japan College Association of Oriental Medicine. One year has passed since the start of education based on stan- dard meridian point locations at Japanese universities, colleges, vocational schools and training centers for anma (Japanese traditional massage), massage, and shiatsu (acupressure), acupuncture and moxibustion therapies. In this survey, we administered a questionnaire as an evaluation of international standardization and the problems of intro- ducing standard meridian point locations. [Subjects and methods] Subjects were mainly teachers and a small number of researchers, clinicians, and other groups concerned with acupuncture and moxibustion. We used the questionnaire that we originally created by the Working Group of the Japan Standardization of Acupuncture Point Locations Committee between in Oct. 2010 and in Feb. 2011. [Results] Among the 180 institutions surveyed, we obtained answers from 149 people from 93 institutions.

  • The Feldenkrais Method of Somatic Education and Its Two Components, Functional Integration and Awareness Through Movement
    7 The Feldenkrais Method® of Somatic Education Patricia A. Buchanan Des Moines University, USA 1. Introduction The Feldenkrais Method® of somatic education is an integrative approach to learning and improving function among people of varying abilities across the lifespan. With an emphasis on increasing self-awareness through lessons that stimulate sensing, moving, feeling, and thinking, certified practitioners or teachers of the method propose to take advantage of the human capacity to self-organize behavior (Buchanan & Ulrich, 2001; Ginsburg, 2010). People have used the Feldenkrais Method to enhance their function in many aspects of life, including performance at work, in sports, or in the performing arts. However, estimates are that many more have used it to recover from injury, manage pain, reduce stress, or improve other health-related conditions, either as complementary or alternative approaches to traditional Western medicine. Because of this usage, some groups, such as the United States National Institutes of Health’s National Center for Complementary and Alternative Medicine (National Center for Complementary and Alternative Medicine [NCCAM], 2004), view the Feldenkrais Method as a form of complementary and alternative medicine, despite the broader self-identification as a learning method. Method founder Moshe Feldenkrais, DSc, (1904-1984) was cautious about the constraints he perceived would be associated with establishing his method within a medical model and the broadly held allopathic emphasis on disease of his time (Feldenkrais, 2010). Despite medicine’s growing biopsychosocial perspective, identification with it remains controversial today among practitioners. Some recognize the improved access that may be afforded by that association, while others express apprehension, as did Feldenkrais, about the limitations on this learning method that may follow.
