SHAKING TECHNIQUE (SHINDO-HO)

Why to apply this technque: Shaking breaks up stagnant energy and improves the flow of ki. It also stimulates muscles and break up the stiffness of the joints as well as improving the blood and lymphatic circulation. It has also been shown that muscles recover faster from fatigue and/or are revitalized through shaking.

How to apply: The shaking technique is applied to the limbs and extremities. The practitioner first takes hold of the recipient's wrist and hand, or ankle and foot, and begins stretching the arms or the legs and then shakes the limb rhythmically.
Holding the extremities, the practitioner shakes them up and down, left and right (vertical and horizontal). The practitioner starts slowly and then increases the frequency of the shaking. Although this technique may tire the practitioner, it is generally very pleasant for the recipient and will promote excellent circulation.

When to apply: This is an additional technique used most appropriately once muscles and joints have become limber after soothing, kneading and pressure technique.

Where to apply: In addition to the limbs, the toes and fingers themselves may be shaken

"That Boat Ride Hurt My Butt!”

A patient referred her cousin who hurt herself while riding in a boat. When the cousin came in, she explained that she was in a boat with her husband and a few friends riding in the harbor. Her husband, who was driving, decided to go out of the harbor and into the rougher ocean. As they were out there, the waves started getting really big and all of a sudden she was “airborne” and then landed on her butt in the hard plastic seats over and over again.

When they docked the boat, she was in severe pain. The X-ray showed there were no broken bones. When she came in, she was in a lot of pain and was bent over, but there were no bruises. I had her lie down on the table and gently began feeling her lower back and glute attachments to the sacrum. Feeling the tightness of the muscles and tendons, I used anma techniques to treat them. There were several points to apply pressure to, so I also used shiatsu to release them.

I worked on the Sekisaisen in lower back, UB 23-30, UB 48 and 49, GB 30.
When she got off the table, she felt so much better and was standing up straight. I treated her two more times, and she was pain free. Though she had to drive close to 40 miles to get to the office, she said it was well worth it.
