Clinical Experience

by
Dr. Baolin Wu, Brent Christopher Wulf, and Kevin T. Hill

This book presents for the first time the complete medical teachings of Dr. Baolin Wu as delivered at the Neijing Yijing Academy. Drawn from intensive clinical instruction, this volume preserves the oral teachings, demonstrations, and hands-on training that define Dr. Wu’s family lineage medicine. Descending from seven generations of imperial physicians, Dr. Wu unites Daoist cultivation with classical Chinese medicine in a coherent and practical clinical system. The book traces the historical development of Daoist healing, bone-setting, and massage from antiquity through the imperial medical academies, while clarifying the philosophical foundations that inform clinical practice. Through rigorous diagnostic training, sensory refinement, and progressive hand conditioning, readers cultivate the precision and sensitivity required for effective manual therapy. Structured cervical, shoulder, spinal, and back routines translate principle into method. Rooted in lineage transmission, this work presents a complete healing system in which technique, balance, and cultivated intention converge in clinical mastery.
