Nei Jin Tan Bo Patting Therapy, commonly known as Nei Jin Patting Therapy, includes Nei Jin therapy and patting therapy. Nei Jin therapy is a massage technique where the doctor uses various hand techniques such as pinching, rubbing, pulling, and grasping on certain parts (pulse points) of the patient's body to induce different sensations such as soreness, swelling, numbness, and dispersion, in order to treat diseases. Patting therapy is a massage technique where the doctor uses a "pat" on certain specific parts of the patient's body with varying strength and rhythm to treat diseases. The effectiveness of these therapies is guided by the theories of meridians and viscera in traditional Chinese medicine. Nei Jin Patting Therapy originated from the "Yi Jin Jing" and was originally mastered by martial artists in China. It has been passed down through generations in Shandong, Hebei, Henan, and Northeast China for nearly a hundred years. Nei Jin Patting Therapy is a comprehensive treatment method that is applicable to a wide range of clinical conditions, including internal medicine, surgery, and otorhinolaryngology. Examples include internal medicine (headaches, dizziness, stomach problems, lower back pain, etc.), surgery (cervical spondylosis, stiff neck, joint and muscle pain, sciatica, muscular weakness, muscle atrophy, etc.), and otorhinolaryngology (toothaches, rhinitis, etc.).

I. Principles of Nei Jin Patting Therapy
1. From the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine theory, Nei Jin therapy mainly acts on the meridians, equivalent to the "flesh" and "tendon" parts of the "five bodies", while patting therapy primarily acts on the superficial layer of the meridian system - the twelve skin layers. Through the penetration of force, the cutaneous layer affects other levels of the meridian system. Although their emphasis is different, they complement each other and together adjust yin and yang, dredge meridians, promote blood and qi circulation, and defend against external pathogenic factors.
2. From the perspective of modern medicine, Nei Jin Patting Therapy can stimulate the body's nerves, blood vessels, skin, and muscles, and affect changes in body fluids. At the same time, through the local or systemic reflex mechanisms induced by the techniques, it can promote vigorous metabolism, improve nutritional status, and thus promote the restoration and balance of physiological functions in the body, achieving the goal of disease treatment.
