Koshi Balancing: An Integrated Japanese Approach to Whole Body Alignment

Approved for 5 CEUs via NCCAOM, California, Florida, and Texas

Jeffrey Dann's Koshi Balancing Method is a structural approach to acupuncture. In the Japanese concept of the koshi, the lumbar pelvic center is the body's central zone of power and movement. Like building a home, if the foundation is out of balance, the superior structures of walls and roof will be out of balance as well. The Koshi Balancing Method addresses the underlying structural system and supports overall constitution, energetic flow, and physical movement. Jeffrey combines acupuncture alongside several other Japanese systems including Seitai ho, shiatsu, Sawada ryu moxibustion, and Sotai movement therapy to achieve balance and free flow of qi.
