National ICH: Southern Shaolin tendon-regulation and spinal chiropractic therapy

Southern Shaolin tendon-regulation and spinal chiropractic therapy is a unique blend of Zen, medicine, and martial arts originating in Fuzhou in Southeast China's Fujian province. Influenced by renowned sites like the Putian Southern Shaolin Temple, Quanzhou Shaolin Zen Temple, and Fuzhou Southern Shaolin Heritage Site, this therapy combines ancient healing practices with martial arts wisdom.

Growing out of the need to treat injuries sustained by martial monks of the Shaolin Temple, this therapy seamlessly integrates traditional Chinese bone injury treatments with martial arts techniques. By emphasizing the unity of movement and stillness, the balance of tendons and bones, and the holistic approach to healing, this therapy embodies the holistic principles of traditional Chinese medicine.

Characterized by its fusion of medical and martial arts knowledge, seamless bodily movements, and synchronized breathing techniques, this therapy emphasizes the coordination of mind, body, and breath. Practiced primarily by medical professionals within the lineage, this therapy has gained recognition through organizations like the Cross-Strait Southern Shaolin Therapy Association and the Southern Shaolin Bone Injury Lineage Studio in Fuzhou.

With its emphasis on simplicity, accessibility, effectiveness, and affordability, the Southern Shaolin tendon-regulation and spinal chiropractic therapy is not only popular in coastal regions in Southeast China, but has also spread to Southeast Asian countries, contributing to the promotion and preservation of the culture of traditional Chinese medicine.
