FAQ

DongNi Rehabilitative Training originates from the integration of traditional Chinese martial arts, traditional Chinese medicine, and physical medicine, and it also incorporates elements of modern Western sports rehabilitation, functional anatomy, and biomechanics. It is a type of exercise designed around human structure and basic functions, aiming to address congenital functional deficiencies and restore postnatal functional degradation. DongNi Rehabilitative Training serves as the foundation for all types of exercise; it does not conflict with any other physical activities and can actually enhance overall physical capabilities.

Rehabilitative Training addresses issues in two main categories: physical and psychological/emotional.

Physical Issues:
Reversing Functional Degradation: Helps restore lost or diminished physical functions.

Addressing Incomplete Development: Complements and develops underutilized or deficient bodily functions.

Relieving Chronic Pain:

  • Cervical Spine: Issues such as straightened cervical curvature, reversal of lordosis, and pain.
  • Lumbar Spine: Conditions like herniated discs and chronic pain in the lumbar and sacral regions.
  • Limbs: Rehabilitation of hip, knee, and ankle pain; recovery and functional reconstruction of shoulder, elbow, and wrist pain.
  • Postural Issues: Correction of scoliosis, rounded shoulders, forward head posture, and alignment issues like X- legs and O-legs.

Psychological and Emotional Issues:
Somatization symptoms, insomnia, anxiety, poor sleep quality, depression, overactive sympathetic nervous system, sensory integration disorders, and more.

1. Efficient and Stable Self-Healing and Self-Correction Mechanism:
Rehabilitation training focuses on the core principle of "Directing Strength with Qi" (以炁驭力), using self-directed exercises to reshape the musculoskeletal structure and activate the body's self-healing abilities. By properly mobilizing internal energy and restoring structural balance, students can continuously and steadily improve their physical functions and condition over the long term.

2. Highly Safe Training Methods:
Rehabilitation training is divided into "Dynamic Practice" and "Static Practice," both based on the principles of force generation from traditional Chinese martial arts. These methods are non-invasive and free from forceful interventions. Through self-generated force and deep bodily awareness, students optimize their body structure and further develop their functions, improving their capabilities while significantly reducing the risk of sports injuries.

DongNi Rehabilitation Training is not Chiropractic. Rehabilitation training emphasizes the principle of "Directing strength with Qi" to reshape the muscles, bones, and tissues. Through self- initiated exercises, it rebuilds body awareness, trains the muscles and bones to reshape the structure, and adjusts the body's misalignment, thereby addressing functional degeneration, pain, and sub-health issues caused by poor posture.

Rehabilitation Training for Youth can address a variety of issues, including:

Developmental Deficiencies:
- Incomplete arch development, such as collapsed arches. - Abnormal development of the pelvis and acetabulum, such as X-legs and O-legs.

Postural Health: Poor posture can contribute to a lack of self-confidence, feelings of inferiority, and depression in adolescents. Many psychological health issues in teens can be traced back to postural problems.

Early Aging Symptoms: Contemporary adolescents are experiencing severe premature aging phenomena, such as shallow acetabulum development, incomplete arch formation, and postural deformities. Sensory integration disorders are also common, with more severe cases presenting as clinical symptoms like hyperactivity or autism.

Emotional and Psychological Issues: Due to insufficient physical activity and the degeneration of the motor system, adolescents may face widespread anxiety, depression, social withdrawal, low self-esteem, lack of confidence, and self-neglect.

Screening and Prevention of Depression, Anxiety, and Low Self-Esteem: Identify and manage mental health issues early to prevent escalation.

Prevention of Cervical Spine Issues: Implement strategies to prevent cervical spine problems, which are increasingly common among adolescents.

Screening and Prevention of Low Back Pain and Herniated Discs: Identify and manage low back pain and disc issues to prevent long-term problems.

Design of Daily Physical Activity Programs: Create tailored exercise plans to promote overall health and address specific needs.

Performance Enhancement: Develop programs aimed at improving athletic performance and outcomes.
