Body Reading
體質與身體閱讀
Before we decide anything,
we read two things.
決定任何事之前，我們讀兩樣東西。
How your body tends to respond, and how it holds itself up. Two separate systems — and often, they say the same thing.
你的身體傾向怎麼反應，以及它怎麼撐住自己。兩套不同的系統 —— 而它們常常說著同一件事。
體質 · Constitution
Chinese medicine has a name for balance,
and eight names for drifting from it.
中醫給平衡取了一個名字，也給偏離平衡的八個方向各取了一個。
The nine-constitution framework was standardised by the China Association of Chinese Medicine in 2009. It describes how a body tends to respond — not what is wrong with it.
九種體質是中華中醫藥學會在 2009 年訂下的分類標準。它描述的是身體傾向怎麼反應，而不是身體哪裡壞了。
平和質 · 氣虛質 · 陽虛質 · 陰虛質 · 痰濕質
濕熱質 · 血瘀質 · 氣鬱質 · 特稟質
Build offers the first hint.
A fuller frame often carries damp; a leaner one, dryness.
形體給了第一個線索。豐腴的身形多見痰濕，清瘦的多見陰虛。
But that is only where we start. Most people are not one type — they carry a main tendency with something else underneath, and it shifts with season, stress and age.
但那只是起點。多數人不是單一體質 —— 通常是一個主要傾向，底下還有別的，而且會隨季節、壓力與年齡改變。
You Might Recognise · 你可能認得
Does any of this sound like you?
有沒有哪一個，聽起來像你？
總是覺得冷，恢復得慢
手腳冰、怕空調、生病之後好得比別人久。
Cold hands, sensitive to air-conditioning, slow to bounce back.

痛好了又回來
同一個地方，好一陣子，又回去。
The same spot feels better for a while, then returns to the same pattern.

身體某一側總是卡
一邊肩膀比較高，轉身有一邊比較順。
One shoulder sits higher, or one side turns more easily than the other.

經期跟著壓力跑
忙起來就亂，放鬆下來就順。
It becomes irregular when life gets busy, and settles when the body relaxes.

皮膚跟著作息走
熬夜、吃辣、壓力大，臉上立刻反映。
Late nights, spicy food or stress show up quickly on your face.

結構 · Structure
You've probably already
had it loosened.
你大概已經讓人鬆過了。
The massage helped for three days. The adjustment held for a week. Then it went back.
按摩舒服了三天。矯正撐了一個禮拜。然後又回去了。
That is not a failed treatment. A tight area is usually doing a job — holding something else up. Release it without changing why it was working so hard, and it goes back to work.
那不是治療失敗。緊繃的地方通常在做一件事 —— 撐住別的東西。如果沒有改變它為什麼要那麼辛苦，鬆開之後它就會回去繼續做。
The foot, the pelvis, the ribs, the neck —
they are on the same line.
腳、骨盆、肋骨、脖子 —— 它們在同一條線上。
Change one and the others adjust, whether you notice it or not. So when we look at a sore lower back, we are also looking at how the feet land and how the neck sits.
動了一個，其他的就會跟著調整，不管你有沒有察覺。所以看腰痛的時候，我們也在看腳怎麼落地、脖子怎麼放。
SRM 結構療法 →Two Systems, One Way of Thinking · 兩套系統，同一種思維
You cannot treat one organ on its own.
You cannot treat one joint on its own either.
Chinese internal medicine works in systems — liver, heart, spleen, lung, kidney. A formula is not aimed at one symptom. When it lands, sleep, palpitations, cold hands and period pain can settle together, because they were part of the same picture.
中醫內科是一組一組系統在看 —— 肝、心、脾、肺、腎。一帖藥不是針對單一症狀。開對了，失眠、心悸、手腳冰冷、經痛可能一起好轉，因為它們本來就在同一張圖裡。
Structural work reads the same way. Work along one line and a tilted pelvis, a sore lower back, a stiff neck and a recurring headache may all shift — because they were never separate problems.
結構治療的思路一樣。沿著同一條線處理，骨盆歪、下背痛、脖子痠、偏頭痛可能一起改善 —— 因為它們從來就不是分開的問題。
Two systems. One way of looking.
兩套系統，同一種觀看方式。
What This Isn't · 這不是什麼
A starting point, not an answer.
這是起點，不是答案。

Not a quiz
Constitution is determined through pulse, tongue and consultation — not by answering questions online. |
Not a label
A constitution is a tendency, not an identity. It changes with season, stress, age and what you have been through. |
Not a diagnosis
Body reading helps us decide where to begin. It does not replace medical assessment where that is needed. |
Start Here · 從這裡開始
Curious where your body sits?
That's what the first visit is for.
想知道自己的身體落在哪裡？初診就是在做這件事。
Pulse, tongue, how you sleep, how you move — 30 minutes, and we build the picture together.
脈象、舌象、怎麼睡、怎麼動 —— 30 分鐘，我們一起把整體看清楚。
