S TYPE

Type M1 – Structural • Muscle type – Upper • Qi and blood stagnation – Heat damp phlegm

accumulation • Kyphosis ( Cervical kyphosis) • Scapular dyskinesia / Scapular winging • Diaphragm pull up • Hyper sensitivity • Pain accompanied• Post motor vehicle injury, sports injury• Stress -> Shallow breathing abdominal tension• Over used muscle• Concentric/e muscle contraction• Spinal disorganized • Posture involved• - Beer belly ( gas) sphincter contraction • - constipated or difficulty of urination, BPH

M1 type

Type M2 - Structural• Muscle type – Middle • Damp, phlegm in middle jiao – Qi and blood

stagnation – cold phlegm accumulation • Postpartum • After long term recovery periods from chronic

illness or surgery• High heel – woman or man • Lumbar lordosis • Abdominal tension thoracic cavity tension• Cold congestion • Abdominal bloating • Lower Back pain

• - Cardiac or Liver disease

M2 type

Type M3 - Structural• Muscle type – Lower• Damp, phlegm in Lower Jiao– Qi and

blood stagnation – cold phlegm accumulation

• Gluteus muscle contraction • Postpartum • Abdominal pressure – secondary M2 type • Pelvic, leg injury • Sitting on cold and hard surface – chronical

periods• Pelvic floor dysfunction

• Pressure – blood pressure, Osmotic pressure • SP and KI Yang Deficiency, SP Qi Deficiency,

Qi and Yang Deficiency ( Organ)• Abdominal tension• “Beer belly”• Sleep apnea, snoring• Liver – Kidney problem• Alcohol, caffeine • Stress – cortisol – abdominal tension• Gut sphincter – autonomic nerve system involved• Metabolic syndrome• Transudate type• * Pregnancy – temporarily manifestation of type

P

P type

Type T - Functional• Temperature type• ST / Gut heat or hyperactivity +

Hypoactive SP • Inflammation involving• Allergic Symptoms ( Skin, rhinitis, food

allergies etc. )• Immune system • Lymph fluids • Viral, bacterial infection – early childhood• Cellulite• Skin fat

Type S – Functional • Imbalance of Homeostasis – Glucose• Damp cold/ Damp heat accumulation,

Food stagnation • Calorie intake and energy expenditure• Body metabolism • Diabetic symptom – obesity induced• Emotional hunger • Craving food• Lack of movement • Distress – Parasympathetic dominant
