Koryo Hand Therapy (KHT) represents a Korean approach to acupuncture and massage, promoting body balancing and well-being through manual hand techniques. Through the precise stimulation of specific points, KHT offers relief from discomfort and supports the harmonious functioning of internal organs.
Koryo Hand Therapy (KHT) is a Korean healing technique that uses your hands to restore balance and well-being. It works by stimulating certain points on your hands to relieve pain and improve the function of your internal organs. KHT is like micro-acupuncture and reflexology for your hands. It’s a simple yet highly effective treatment method for various health issues, addressing both surface symptoms and underlying causes, following the balanced approach of Oriental Medicine.
Individuals seek KHT for various reasons. Some seek it to address specific symptoms or conditions, while others use it as a proactive approach to maintain their health, prevent illnesses, or enhance their overall well-being. Traditional KHT focuses on treating the entire individual rather than isolated symptoms, making it effective for a wide range of conditions. Many individuals are repeat clients of Korean Hand Therapy due to the considerable benefits and relaxation it provides.
Stimulating these points can be approached in various ways. The therapy plan may start with something as straightforward as massaging tender points on both hands. This can be followed by heat stimulation using moxa or the application of miniature hand needles. Additionally, patients are frequently provided with small pellets affixed with adhesive, which they can apply to the points at home to maintain the stimulation. These effects gradually accumulate and persist into the following day.
In your initial session, a comprehensive consultation will be conducted to understand your primary concerns and evaluate your complete medical history. It would be valuable for us to have details about any medications or supplements you’re currently using, as well as any recent test results, during this stage. Following the consultation, a brief therapy or treatment session will be scheduled, and some clients choose to complement KHT with other therapeutic approaches. This will normally between 1 – 1.30 hour for first appointment.
During the initial phases of therapy or treatment, it’s quite typical for patients to have appointments once a week for 5 – 10 sessions depending on the body condition, with each session lasting either 30 minutes or an hour. This frequency is possible because therapy or treatment can be conducted in various settings and is quicker than traditional acupuncture. Moreover, self-treatment is both efficient and easy to learn, particularly when using small pellets on specific points that patients can conveniently apply pressure to several times a day.
Should you choose to include acupuncture in your KHT treatment, you may encounter a slight degree of discomfort, typically resembling a brief, needle-like prick. However, this sensation should not be distressingly painful.
Before KHT, engaging in physical activities is generally acceptable, but it’s important not to become excessively fatigued or sweaty, as this could affect the comfort of the therapy. However, it’s crucial to stay relaxed and comfortable during the therapy session, so avoid pushing yourself too hard.
After KHT, it’s advisable to take it easy for a while because the therapy aims to restore balance and relaxation. Immediately engaging in strenuous activities may diminish some of the potential benefits. Pay attention to how your body feels; if you feel energized and comfortable, you may consider participating in physical activities later in the day.
For your therapy or treatment sessions, it’s advisable to don loose-fitting attire. We also suggest refraining from consuming a large meal before your therapy or treatment.
