The foundation of hands-on medicine is sensitivity in the hands.
Approach
I believe the foundation of hands-on medicine is sensitivity in the hands. I have come to understand people through the physical limits I experienced as an athlete, the principles of the body I learned from an engineering perspective, and my hands-on work as a manual therapy specialist. More important than good tools or a lengthy résumé is the sensitivity to read the body and sense its balance through the fingertips. I consider it important to use the hands to examine how the whole body is connected—bones, fascia, internal organs, and nerves—rather than focusing on a single visible symptom.
About
After experiencing the body's limits firsthand as a member of the national Taekwondo team and learning how the body works as an engineering student, I spent many years as a chiropractor reading people's bodies with my hands. I am a hands-on therapy specialist who combines theoretical knowledge with practical experience. I served as a professor at the graduate schools of Konkuk University and Sungshin Women's University, as well as at Open Cyber University, and have taught hands-on treatment methods to healthcare professionals and complementary therapy practitioners at the National Medical Center, general hospitals, and universities. My work spans a broad range of manual therapies, including craniosacral therapy (CST), SOT, CMRT, visceral manual therapy, nerve mobilization, and lymphatic therapy. I now train the next generation at education centers in Incheon, Busan, and Daejeon. My longstanding principle is that the sensitivity of the hands—the ability to carefully read each person's body—comes before an impressive résumé.
