Traditional Healing Arts

The healing arts are important part of training at Memphis Internal Arts. Methods typically associated with Chinese martial arts like tuina, acupressure, moxa and cupping are taught. However, Zen Shiatsu is another form of healing students at Memphis Internal Arts can learn. This method is taught to give students a thorough education in the location of the meridians and major points located on the body. It also develops sensitivity,etc.

Chuck studied this art with Lindy Ferrigno while attending the Oregon College of Oriental back in 1998. Ms Ferrigno was a direct student of Masunaga as well as other prominent shiatsu teachers like Pauline Sasaki.

Zen Shiatsu is a meridian based body work method which also contains a unique method of diagnosis using the hara. Please take a look at this video series of Sensei Masunaga demonstrating Zen Shiatsu.
