THE USE OF REFLEXOLOGY ACCORDING TO THE “BALANCING HEXAGRAMS” TECHNIQUE IN THE COMPLEX REHABILITATION OF ARTHROPATHIES

Abstract

Abstract. Traditional Chinese medicine is half syndromes, not diseases. This is the identification of a wider range of problems than just individual nosologies: usually, this is a comorbidity, with regular involvement of other tissues, other systems. For example, the syndrome of traditional Chinese medicine "Congestion of the liver" includes the facilitated formation of various pain syndromes in a person, often their combination, and not just a liver disease such as hepatitis. Similarly, Bi syndrome includes more than just "pain in the knee" or osteoarthritis of the knee joint. The article describes the concept of Bi syndrome in traditional Chinese medicine, its classification. The article also presents the main theoretical principles of the "balancing hexagrams" method and its practical implementation. Also given is a clinical case: treatment of a patient with subacute postinfectious arthropathy of the right sphenoid and ankle joints. Purpose.
