QUESTION: "Master, what does the Therapy you practice consist in?"

ANSWER: "This method represents the synthesis of different methodics that I studied, some of them deeper than others (from Shiatsu to Chinese Traditional Medicine, from Osteopathy to Chiropractic), all of them inspired in their totality by my research on the Energy (KI, CHI, PRANA) during 32 years of Martial Practice, internal and external, and most of all of Zen Practice."

Q.: "In which way Zen has represented a form of inspiration?"

A.: "A Japanese saying goes: "SHIN KI TAI ITOTSU DAKE" which means "Mind, Energy and Body are one thing!". This argument exemplifies in a wonderful way the concept of olistic vision, or integrated vision, or somatopsychical and psychosomatic vision in which lies a certain way of seeing Medicine nowadays. Zen leads the practicing step by step to experience a path of restoration of these psycho-corporeal elements through a profound, intense and powerful labour on the correct posture, the right breathing and the correct mental attitude."

Q.: "In which way the "POSTURE" is remarkable in your therapeutic approach?"

A.: "It's fundamental. In a ultimate sense (ZEN), the posture is the formal modality of existence that a human body absumes in Space and Time following Laws that are ontologically self-legitimated. The Posture, in this sense, means not only an externalization of an internal energetic "position", but even the reflection into the ("human") Form of the interaction's attitude that the indivudual has with the external world. Therefore every mental and energetic attitude is reflected on the Posture, reflecting the modality of relationship with the external world, so determinating a condition of "Healt" or "Illness"."

Q.: " But concretely how do you operate on the patient?"

A.: "I operate as intepreter and mediator of the unbalances that are at the basis of his Postural Condition (I use this definition in an ample sense). For this purpose I use techniques of spine's realignment and release, that are heritage of an antique oriental culture, which I have improved during my meetings with many prepared traditional Masters,even during my study and practice journeys in the East. For this I have many effective techniques to act either on the structure (aticular techniques) or on the breathing and the plexuses (mutuated techniques from YOGA and CHI KUNG), or on the energetic paths and the reflex points (SHIATSU, T'UINA, C.T.M.). In this way it is possible to operate on several osteo-articular functional alterations that can be reflected on the organic level, or make up its reflex (BIOFEEDBACK)."

Q.: "Which role plays the "mental" in the whole matter?"

A.: "Determining! It is the real entrance key in the restoration system of oneself. It is said in the Zen: "The soul is the sense of the body; the body is the expression of the soul". If we can't comprehend that "that pain we feel on our back", beyond its mechanical cause that must be found, treated and solved, has a thin and inexplicable relationship with our energetic system, our psyche, our unconscious and therefore our conscience, we could never turn it out right in a exhaustive and regenerating way!"

Q.: "So may we learn something from our illness?"

A.: "The Illness (which in the Buddhism is one of the four noble truths enounced by the Buddha, along with the old age, the pain and the death), can be our greatest master. In the East it is said: "Earth makes you fall; Earth makes you raise". This means, transposed on the level of the health-illness relationship, that the same strenght that makes us sick has in itself the power to heal us. After all is a consequence of the logic principle of non-contradiction."
