Rather than simply dealing with "pain," he values finding the root cause of the illness and drawing out the body's natural healing power. The "pulse diagnosis," one of the diagnostic techniques in traditional Oriental medicine, is used to determine the overall condition of the body by checking the patient's pulse, while learning about the flow of "QI"( body's vital energy), blood circulation and the function of the organs, and to determine the appropriate treatment plan for each patient.

He also actively incorporates moxibustion. He uses three types of moxibustion, depending on the symptoms and physical condition. He gently warms the body from the inside with a comfortable warmth, promoting blood circulation and improving recovery. He applies Shiatsu massage first to relax the body muscles and then provides acupuncture and moxibustion.

He treats a variety of physical ailments, including chronic symptoms such as lower back pain and stiff shoulders, as well as dizziness, insomnia, gastrointestinal problems, chills, and autonomic nervous system disorders caused by stress.
