Manaka's Hammer & Dowel

Manaka's Hammer & Dowel

Manaka's Hammer and Dowel technique stands as a testament to the innovative approach of Japanese acupuncture, offering a unique method for stimulating acupuncture points and promoting healing. This technique, rooted in Dr. Yoshio Manaka's extensive research and clinical experience, utilizes a rhythmic tapping motion akin to the beat of a metronome, applied with a small hammer and dowel on specific acupuncture points.


Manaka's discovery of different meridian rhythms further enhances the precision and effectiveness of this technique, allowing practitioners to synchronize treatment with the body's natural energetic cycles. By harmonizing with these rhythms, Manaka's Hammer and Dowel technique facilitates the flow of Qi (vital energy) and promotes balance within the meridian system.


This holistic approach to acupuncture offers a gentle yet powerful method for addressing a wide range of health concerns and restoring overall well-being.
