    Why do you have pain? 


    Pain afflicts us in different ways. You may have a stress headache, an acute injury, or a chronic degenerative condition, all producing pain with unique characteristics. 

     

    From a Chinese medical perspective, all pain, no matter its apparent source, is caused by a blockage, obstruction, some type of stagnation. Things that should be moving freely in your body are no longer moving well, whether that’s blood, lymphatic fluid, neural energy, or qi, which is the totality of the functional energy of your body, and includes emotional, mental, and even spiritual aspects of your being.

     

    This understanding has been a guiding principle for the treatment of pain in Chinese medicine for nearly 4,500 years. In one of the most ancient of Chinese medical classics, The Huang Di Nei Jing (The Yellow Emperor’s Classic of Internal Medicine, c. 2,600 B.C), the phrase “tong ze bu tong, bu tong ze tong” was introduced and has since become axiomatic. Its meaning is “if there is free flow, there is no pain; if there is pain, there is no free flow”. This principle has stood the test of time, even as treatment methods have evolved over the centuries.


    Treatment Options For Natural Pain Management


    If you are local to the Boston area, you are invited to schedule an in-person appointment for: 

    • acupuncture 

    • herbal medicine 

    • therapeutic bodywork 

    • private lessons in qigong and other Chinese self care and healing exercises. 

     

    We’ll find the root cause of your pain, discuss any other health concerns you'd like addressed, and design a course of treatment tailored to your exact needs. 

     

    No matter where you are in the world, I can help you remotely in a variety of ways, including: 

     

    an herbal consultation over Zoom. 

    I’ll do a detailed intake, similar to what I’d do if you were in my office. I will advise you on the best herbs and supplements for you to purchase on your own, often with recommended dietary changes, or if you are in the US and it is more convenient for you, I can arrange to have herbal formulas shipped to you as tablets, capsules, or in powdered form. Click above to make an appointment.


     

    online private instruction in Chinese Healing Exercises or specific qigong practices that will suit your individual needs best. I also offer a variety of qigong classes and workshops online and in person if you prefer a group learning experience. 

     

    One of the most powerful self-healing qigong practices you can learn is Dragon and Tiger Medical Qigong. Watch this video for a demonstration.


     

    Distance/Remote Healing with medical qigong. This provides comparable results to acupuncture, often working faster and providing deeper benefits.

    Testimonials
    "(After treatment) yesterday, during a 3 hours rehearsal, I was standing up the whole time, no knee issues. Just now, going upstairs, no knee pain or discomfort. Thank you!  It is getting better!"--Na'amaLion


    • "As Cheech and Chong would say, “wow that was some good [stuff]”. I can’t recall an acupuncture session in recent memory that has had that dramatic a shift in resetting how I was feeling and putting me back into a really even, unanxious state for the rest of the day. You're the best!"--David Blank-Edelman"



    A couple of years ago I was caught in a house fire suffering third-degree burns and lung damage.  Subsequently, I lost my motor skills and was wheelchair-bound. I became agoraphobic; isolated and not speaking to anyone, unable to sleep for days at a time, unable to eat solid foods for over one year. I was in excruciating physical pain, suffered the complete loss of my memory, and experienced severe panic attacks. I was diagnosed as being Bipolar, Schizophrenic and Delusional. Today, thanks to you facilitating me using Long Distance Qigong healing, along with your intuition and wisdom, I have made excellent and miraculous progress.

    Your extensive knowledge has helped me with so many health issues over the time you have worked with me long distance. I wish I could pass that gift on to the entire world. It's amazing. I continue to be completely blown away by your generosity of spirit and knowledge.” -- Patricia Kelly, California Patient



    "Steven is truly a gentle Giant! After several months of once-weekly distance treatments: I have an increased amount of energy, feeling much more grounded within my body, from head to toe, with only occasional dizziness. My five senses have palpably become much keener, and I feel more ALIVE, than I have, in decades! My sleep is more solid and I awake, actually feeling well-rested.  My body is better able to handle more challenging exercise now! And, as a bonus: my Rosacea is clearing! Thank you, Steven, for bringing my body back into balance (at long-last) and restoring the quality of my life! I highly recommend his exceptional care and multiple modalities of Healing." -- Valerie D. fromNY
