THE SCIENCE
SCIENTIFIC STUDY OF NAPRAPATHY
COMBINED WITH JIN SHIN JYUTSU
IntegratiNG NaprApathy & Jin Shin Jyutsu
YOU CAN READ MY THESIS STUDY BELOW
I pioneered the integration of these two potent hands-on healing arts as a student at SUNM. During research for my doctoral thesis, ‘Combining Naprapathy with Jin Shin Jyutsu as a Traumatic Brain Injury Treatment: a Case Study Report’, I found the combination of Naprapathy and JSJ offered promising results for a patient in the medically tough situation of repeated and severe Traumatic Brain Injuries.
Relief from pain and confusion, and restoration of manual dexterity, speech and swallowing capacities were some of the results documented.
Many patients find the combination of these two modalities to be especially therapeutic. In the spirit of collaboration, your needs and comfort are our guide, so that your treatment session can consist of either or both approaches. Our commitment is to foster your optimum well-being and happiness.
We schedule time after each 50-60 minute session for self-care suggestions and training, based on your specific needs and interests.
ABOUT THE STUDY
EXPLORING COMPLIMENTARY AND ALTERNATIVE MEDICINE COMBINATIONS
There have been many studies exploring the effectiveness of different complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) modalities in treating various disorders and pains. Several of these referenced studies focus on integrative medicine, finding evidence of both safety and effectiveness when combining conventional medical treatment with the CAM modality.
However, I have not found studies exploring this question: is integrating the two CAM modalities, naprapathy and Jin Shin Jyutsu (JSJ) into a unified treatment strategy an effective method of treatment?
The purpose of the study is to assess the effectiveness of combining two CAM modalities, naprapathy with JSJ, in treatment of a 46-year-old woman with traumatic brain injury (TBI). In addition, the aim is to explore the integration ofmodalities working with the physical (naprapathy) and the energetic (JSJ) aspects of one being, into a unified therapeutic system that addresses the mind/body connection when it has been disrupted by brain injury.
People have described their JIN SHIN JYUTSU session as “like receiving a massage from the inside” and “effortless meditation”.
In Jin Shin Jyutsu treatment we hold specific locations on the body to harmonize the vital energy of the whole person. Our aim is to restore proper energy circulation throughout the body, thereby decreasing physical and mental symptoms and the cause of disease, while sparking the body’s regenerative powers.
By listening to the patient’s energetic Pulse (at the wrist) the JSJ practitioner differentiates the state of harmony of 72 foundational flows of energy and the nature of their relationships. This information leads us to energetic cause underlying the patient’s health challenges and to the hands-on sequences that can spark restoration of harmonious energy flow.
After your Jin Shin Jyutsu treatment (typically 50-60 minutes) we may introduce you to simple JSJ techniques that you can use at home, empowering you to release tensions and to revitalize and harmonize body, mind and spirit on your own.
Treating Traumatic Brain Injury Naturally
NaprApathy and Jin Shin Jyutsu Combine To Bring Significant Improvement for A Traumatic Brain Injury Patient
In the literature review presented in this paper, studies (1-16) have shown the complementary alternative medical modalities, Jin Shin Jyutsu and Naprapathy, to be beneficial treatments when used alone and in integrated medical treatment protocols for different health challenges, including stroke, cancer, migraines, AIDS, back and neck pain and chronic stress.
One randomized, placebo-controlled, single-blind design (11) assessed the influences of Jin Shin Jyutsu as a form of acupressure modality on cognitive flow and functional status after traumatic brain injury (TBI).
Two studies (19-20), explored the efficacy of acupuncture, another CAM modality, in treating aspects of traumatic brain injury. The last four studies reviewed here are included as examples of more conventional medical aspects and treatment options for TBI, with relevance to this study.
Read Uzi’s thesis to explore this remarkable study on traumatic brain injury, with napropathy, and Jin Sin Jyutsu treatment.
Helping others to heal themselves brings me joy.
Mary Burmeister, who brought Jin Shin Jyutsu to the West, said, “Age is as Circulation is”. After decades of physical labor I found, in my late ‘40s, new flexibility (balance between energetic and muscular aspects of being) through yoga.
Regular exercise (yoga, cycling, running and hiking), in tandem with daily Jin Shin Jyutsu self-care, eradicated a health issue for which I’d been told I’d always need medication.
Naprapathy
Naprapathy has taught me about the amazing design of our body’s anatomy and biomechanics and hands-on techniques that speak directly to the body’s ability to correct, rehabilitate and regenerate.
