Oriental Remedial Therapist

Overview

The Orientals look at a person as a whole - body, mind, spirit and emotions - as a whole interactive, fully functioning unit and a diagnosis is made accordingly.

This study programme looks at how the Oriental approach aims at treating the cause of the condition thereby alleviating and clearing away the symptoms, thus it can be regarded as a true form of preventative medicine.

A fascinating course that will also teach the student that eastern medicine is more in the mode of the Einsteinian paradigm which sees human beings as networks of complex energy fields that interface with physical and cellular systems. A wide range of oriental traditional therapies covered in this course gives the student a wealth of knowledge at their fingertips.
