About This Course
Course Introduction
Sun Simiao Kaiguan Warming and Opening Method is taught by Instructor Song Jingdong. The course is organized around three steps: warming, pushing, and storing. The materials explain how warm-compress materials, manual techniques, and follow-up care work together, organizing topics into thirteen opening-point groups so learners can understand the overall framework before exploring the detailed content.
Study covers the head and face, neck, shoulders, lower back, and legs, as well as cardiopulmonary, digestive, and metabolic topics. First clarify the connections among the three steps, then record the instructor's region-based choices, and use questions and answers to identify anything still unclear. Establish contraindications before using warming materials or practicing techniques, and work under professional guidance that meets applicable requirements.
