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.

Assessment and Future Development of the WHO/WPRO Standardization
Sakaguchi Shunji, et al.. 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.

Shiatsu Anma Therapy: Long Definition
Shiatsu Anma Therapy: Long Definition Long and Short Forms DoAnn Kaneko’s original style of “Long Form” is the founder for traditional therapeutic Anma Massage. Inherited his parents gift for healing arts, Kr. Kaneko has developed the Kata called Traditional “Long Form”. This style of treatment (lasting for 1 hour), introduces the basic techniques of Anma - soothing, kneading, pressing, shaking, vibrating, exercised and tapping in 3 postures. Contemporary “Short Form” (30 minutes) shows the basic techniques of pressing and kyosei (manipulation and correction) in the same 3 postures. Dr. Kaneko’s “Short Form” would be used in order to improve the skeletal system and various internal organs system through nerve reflex, while the traditional “Long Form” will improve the energetic system and circulatory system. Dr. Kaneko’s form is founded on the traditional Chinese Medicine (T.C.M.) theory based profoundly in the practice of Specific Anma (An - pressing, Ma - soothing). Through four (4) Oriental evaluation methods, Anma therapy utilizes 8 principles of Yin and Yang, excess and deficiency, exterior and interior, hot and cold. Thus advanced, professional practitioners can prescribe the specific vital points to treat in an accurate modalities of tonification and sedation for balancing energy according to T.C.M. Pulse reading and Fukusin (abdominal evaluation) are also incorporated. Traditional “Long Form” and Contemporary “Short Form” are designed for beginning practitioner and for clients who have general imbalance syndrome. After mastering both forms, a practitioner needs to address a client’s individual condition and administer whatever treatment they deem necessary. Therefore, advance therapeutic Anma theory is the one used to modify the Traditional “Long Form”.
