In this episode, Gretchen sits down with Dr Robert Chu; martial artist, herbalist, and acupuncturist who is renowned for his expertise in the Master Tung acupuncture system. Robert shares his philosophy on mind-body balance and medicine as informed through his life-long practice of martial arts, and how this ultimately led him to his healing practice in Chinese Medicine.
Dr Chu discusses unique aspects of the Master Tung system of acupuncture, explaining the logic and practical application of mirroring points and active patient engagement while needling to confirm instantaneous results. With the skill of an experienced teacher, Dr Chu is able to weave clinical examples of distal needling into humorous stories explaining why long ago he vowed never to need to needle into the buttocks or areas of pain!
This interview highlights not only Robert Chu’s mastery of the Tung system, but his ability to weave herbal prescriptions, martial arts movement and Tai Chi exercises and philosophy and diet into every patient treatment to promote truly holistic healing and mind-body balance.
