“Orthostatic dysregulation (OD) is an autonomic nervous system disorder that commonly occurs in childhood and adolescence. It presents with symptoms such as lightheadedness upon standing, fatigue, and difficulty waking in the morning, and it is frequently associated with school refusal. In recent years, changes in living environments and psychological stress during the COVID-19 pandemic have drawn attention to the emergence and prolonged course of OD symptoms.

TST (Takahiro-style teishin therapy) is an acupuncture approach that employs non-insertive, surface-level contact stimulation to regulate the body holistically via the sensory input system. Because the intensity of stimulation can be finely controlled and is less likely to provoke defense reflexes or fear responses, it is particularly applicable to pediatric patients and highly sensitive, nervous individuals.

In this case, head-focused treatment using a TST teishin was administered to a fourth-grade elementary school student who had stopped attending school due to OD. Long-term improvement in school attendance and overall physical condition was observed, hence the impetus to present this case study.”

This is a short excerpt from my latest translation of Funamizu Takahiro’s “Head-Centered TST Teishin Treatment for Orthostatic Dysregulation: A Case Report,” as featured in the March 2026 issue of NAJOM, Volume 32, Number 96.

Teishin is an excellent non-insertive method to treat children and highly-sensitive, needle-averse individuals. Please inquire within / DM me for more information on how this could be helpful for you or your child.

What do students say about their experience studying acupuncture abroad in Tsukuba with Katai Sensei?

Here are a couple testimonials from two students who attended the 2025 Acu Abroad in Tsukuba, Japan.

Do you have visions, flashes of insight or gut hits about unspoken dynamics in your case studies?

Do you think of this as intuition or fantasy? Clinically relevant or just an amuse tête for your clinical rapport?

How do you know when you’re locking in to useful intuitive information or getting spun out by mental musings and flights of fancy?

I’ll give you one strategy for discerning intuition from magical invention: 🌟 🌟 🌟

“Anxiety exerts its influence over every aspect of day-to-day living and is often accompanied by diverse physical symptoms. Patients will frequently feel like something is wrong with their body and, despite seeking medical opinions and making hospital visits, physical pathologies are rarely
identified. Once cleared, the standard of care in modern medicine is to make a referral to a therapist or psychiatrist who recommends counseling.

Patients with anxiety disorders are essentially ‘analog beings’ whose realities cannot be neatly captured within simplistic differentiations. For instance, even if 100 patients are diagnosed with ‘heart-kidney yang deficiency,’ their symptom profiles will differ 100 ways — no two are alike.”

This is a small excerpt from my latest translation, “Clinical Management of Anxiety Disorders,” by Ikai Yoshio, as featured in the November 2025 issue of NAJOM, Vol 32, Number 95.

If you suspect your patient has blood stagnation, palpate this point named after the herbal formula which treats pain due to traumatic injuries: Jidabokuippou. (See previous post for reference)

If the point is tender to the touch, or if you objectively find tension, bulging, induration or other signs of excess, then you may treat this point with a needle, teishin or tuning fork.

For sensitive patients, try using the 啄微(takubi) method. For hearty patients with a robust constitution, you may use the 雀啄 (jakutaku) technique.

Want to learn more Japanese Acumoxa methods? Subscribe to NAJOM and sign up for our upcoming CEU classes!

The March 14-15th, 2026 class will be held in beautiful Boulder, Colorado. ⛰️

The next Acu Abroad in Tsukuba trip is now confirmed: Oct 17-24th, 2026. Registration coming soon!! 🤓

In this immersive two-day intensive, my aim is to help participants cultivate a subtle, hands-on way of listening to the body—one that translates palpatory nuance into precise clinical action. Through a progressive sequence of demonstrations and guided partner work, you’ll learn to read the metaphors encoded in tissue tone, temperature, and topography, identify living points that encode the root of your patient’s pain, and apply gentle Japanese needling techniques that treat the signal and the symptom. By weaving foundational biomechanics with depth palpation methods, we’ll broaden your diagnostic vocabulary while sharpening your tactile sensitivity, so that every contact is intentional, respectful, and therapeutically potent.

Equally important, I want you to leave Boulder with a clear, reproducible roadmap for distal pain management. We’ll unpack the mirror mapping model, explore pattern-based point selection, and apply these ideas in small breakout rotations, ensuring that theory anchors firmly in felt experience. You’ll finish the weekend with a toolkit of gentle-but-powerful distal strategies for treating musculoskeletal pain, renewed confidence in your own clinical intuition, and a supportive cohort of colleagues who value depth over dynamo. Whether you are new to Japanese styles or seasoned in distal work, my hope is that these 14 CEU hours spark a lasting shift toward quieter, more resonant interactions in every patient connection.
