Usually, a person's posture and physical appearance suggests a congenital disease, incorrect standing, sitting, walking, lying or sporty activities and psycho-social problem or disposition only. But in addition to these facts other conclusions can be drawn. A curved back can be the origin of a disease and if we correct abnormal posture the disease is usually reduced or, in the best case, disappears. On the other hand pain can cause abnormal posture and if these the pain can be reduced or eliminated, the foundation for correcting a patient's posture is given.There is a solid clinical foundation in the whole theory of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM):Meridians (paths of energy) collaterally spread of the whole body, superficial and internal, ubiquitous. Although posture is the external performance of the human body, the intrinsic disease also frequently displays through its abnormal outside. This phenomenon is also the manifestation of the thought.Treating some diseases by balancing posture, unblocking meridians and seeking for the regular principle, will help enhance the application value of the whole theoretical thought of internal and external association in TCM, and promoting the universal thought and its practice.1. ObjectiveThe objective of this study is to point out the relationship between posture and disease, posture and treatment of some common and refractory diseases as well by correcting abnormal posture and analysing the curative effect. This study shall provide a research basis for the viewpoint that abnormal posture is the basis of diagnostics differentiation and should show that the correction of abnormal posture is also a kind of treatment.The study also shall provide the research foundation of excavating and deepening the application value of the whole therapy of internal and external association in TCM. At the same time this study may open up the possibility of a new thinking about Traditional Chinese Medicine basics and improve and promote the status and function of TCM in the medical domain outside China.2. Method2.1 TheoryI analysed the thought of "human internal and external association", stemming from The Medical Classic of the Yellow Emperor, by using the cultural heritage data method and analytic method, and extracted the original text which is related with this research. It builds the foundation of excavating and developing the original theory basis of understanding disease through the posture change.We can enhance the understanding of the research significance for the relationship between posture and disease, posture and treatment. Not only the thought of internal and external association is the inherent ideological mode of TCM to know the human body physiology mechanism, but also it has the solid clinic foundation. Taking the posture change as clinical diagnosis basis and correcting posture to treat the disease are both the thorough excavation to the Traditional Chinese Medicine basic theory. It will enrich the Traditional Chinese Medicine theory and provide the basis for scientificness and practicality of the Traditional Chinese Medicine theory while we further disseminate outside China.2.2 Clinical Research2.2.1 Establishing th Clinical Research StandardI chose the "SpinalMouse" spine measuring instrument, a medical product compliant with the Eurpean regulation 2007/47/EC, which has been approved and has its own survey standard. I also chose 8 laser filiform needles with 632.8nm wavelength, each has 35mw, diverging the fusion light beam combined red and far-infrared light and pasted in the skin surface directly and vertically with silicone resin soft attachment. The depth of the light vertical entering reaches 35 mm through the skin layer. The physical energy density is 5 W /cm, and the physiology energy density is 5 w/cm2, which is equal to the laser treatment meter with physical energy density is 15 w/cm2, as a treatment tool. Furthermore a medical record appraisal method was established including a score chart. A standardized research file has been established for each patient I have tested. All these patients have previously received a diagnosis from a hospital or by a physician.2.2.2 Clinical Application and Efficacy Evaluation of Posture Treatment (500 cases)I first observed the change of disease and the posture by measurement of the shape of the spinal column:1. Establish first contact care. Under voluntary premise I filled in the treatment table, surveyed the change of spinal column, recorded the condition of posture contour and SpinalMouse spinal column survey sheet. I obtained the data immediately and made the appraisal through related software.2. Based on the principle of meridian theory in TCM, I irradiated some points on the patients's body by laser and by a specific method of manual therapy to correct the posture. This specific manual therapy is based on cupping and TuiNa, which I combined and refined to a new, successful method. I recorded the patient's appraisal, the measurements and the treatment by scoring the appraisal.3. In basic recovery situation, I surveyed the change of the spinal column again and recorded the condition of posture contour and the SpinalMouse measured value to the spinal column survey sheet. I also obtained the data and made the appraisal through related software. On this basis, I have analysed the two data results, before and after the treatment.3. ResultThe 500 cases cover 10 kinds of disease. In the foundation of the survey result, under the principle of the meridian theory, I irradiated some related points by laser, stimulating the acupuncture point directly to make the arrival of qi, which can correct the posture obviously with the function of dredging meridian, adjusting qi and xue, regulating yin and yang, reducing the excessive and replenish the deficient, dispersing stasis and relieving pain.Not only the patients felt that the symptom reduces, but also measured data shows the restoration, especially for refractory diseases. For example, in western countries, patients who have whiplash injury syndrome, visceral function disorder caused by scars and refractory cephalalgia, only depend upon strong analgesic or sedative to keep their work and life. During treatment, we found that they had different kinds of abnormal posture. And after correcting posture by acupuncture and manual manipulation the symptom declined, even vanished.This study is on the basis of the treatment, as input all the test data was classified, SPSS15.0 statistical software and Frequency distribution statistical methods were used,, All data on descriptive statistics, Draw a frequency distribution graph, Analysis of the data distribution, As a basis for hypothesis testing. Then examined each patient's monitoring data, The data obtained were made on the frequency distribution analysis, Know whether it is normal; Meet the normal distribution, Do one sample T test, Patient data were compared before and after treatment, Difference between values was obtained before and after treatment were analyzed.Data analysis shows that, posture associated with the disease, correcting abnormal posture can cure diseases. I think the body to correct abnormalities of clinical medicine is a method of treatment of diseases.This is a scientific basis.4. ConclusionAlthough posture is the external performance of the human body, the intrinsic disease also frequently displays through its abnormal outside. This phenomenon is also the manifestation of the whole theory of Traditional Chinese Medicine. The change of posture and abnormal posture as the basis of differentiation are wellknown, but during my clinical study, I found that the cognition before was quite limited, just remained a rough understanding. But I realised that correcting abnormal posture is a kind of treatment, and a noticeable part of the thought of internal and external association of the whole theory in TCM. This study proved that through correcting abnormal posture for physical disease remission has its rich theory connotation and utility value. In-depth study and discussion are necessary.This matter of fact is proved by this paper, containing a large number of clinical cases and corresponding data.My point made in this study is that posture is related to diseases. We can treat these diseases by correcting abnormal posture, which is also one of the method in the clinical treatment of TCM. This is the discover of my research.Results of this study have showen significant treatment effect against refractory diseases. Not only my compatriots in Switzerland were inspired but also local western medicine practitioners were impressed.I think this is a contribution to a better understanding of Traditional Chinese Medicine in the western world. The result of my studies shall also help foreign medical professionals to recognise the scientific connotation of chinese medicine.
