Diagnostics using Traditional Chinese medicine methods in My Physio by Kanitta Clinic
About the clinic
Diagnostics using Traditional Chinese medicine methods at My Physio by Kanitta Clinic in Phuket, Thailand, provide a detailed assessment of internal body balance. The clinic has two locations at Boat Avenue in Cherng Talay and Boat Lagoon in Koh Kaew. These examinations identify imbalances in Yin–Yang, Qi flow, and organ function according to TCM principles.
Diagnostic methods and process
The diagnostic process uses the Four Diagnostic Methods to evaluate health patterns. Patients receive a personalized assessment based on their specific physical and energetic state. The examination includes several non-invasive techniques:
- Pulse diagnosis. The doctor assesses energy and organ function by feeling the pulse on both wrists.
- Tongue inspection. The specialist observes the color, shape, and coating of the tongue to check internal health.
- Observation. The doctor evaluates body appearance and overall physical demeanor.
- Smelling and listening. This step involves monitoring voice quality, breathing patterns, and specific body odors.
- Questioning. The specialist asks about medical history, current symptoms, sleep quality, and lifestyle habits.
