Ho Man Keung (M.K. Ho) (Chinese Medicine Practitioner) (1948-2007)
Ho Man Keung started to conduct clinical practices of Tuina in his leisure time since the 70’s and attained his qualification as a “Listed Chinese Medicine Practitioner” in 2001 (reference no.: L07147) in the first batch of Chinese Medicine Practitioners under the newly established registration system for TCM in Hong Kong. Ho Man Keung further refined the methods of Tuina through integrating the concepts of Western and Chinese medicine, which can be complementary to each other. Specifically, he perceived that the Western medical concept is about the studies of distinctive parts or organs in the human body from a micro perspective, whereas the Chinese medical concept is based on the macro perspective of how the entire human body as a whole system affects parts or organs. He applied the complementary nature of Chinese and Western medical concepts to Ho’s Tuina.
Doctor of Social Work (The Hong Kong Polytechnic University, Hong Kong) Master of Arts in Liberal Studies, Honors (The Hong Kong University of Science and Technology, Hong Kong) Postgraduate Certificate in Education (The University of Hong Kong) Master of Christian Study in Spirituality (Regent College, Vancouver, BC, Canada) Bachelor of Applied Science in Chemical Engineering (The University of British Columbia, Vancouver, BC, Canada)
Attained his doctoral degree in social work in 2021, Dr. W.L. Ho is the successor of Ho’s Tuina. By integrating Tuina with spirituality, under the theoretical framework of an ecological perspective in clinical practices, he further investigates the relationship between the theory of “whole-and-parts” and the impact of bone misplacement on nerves and muscles, and he comes up with a theoretical framework of self-healing.
