The Japanese Do-In is a further development of the traditional Chinese Daoyin, the art of movement exercises for health care. The aim is to activate the body's self-healing powers using foot acupressure and to balance out a physical or psychological imbalance. The GeMa Stick or walking on the stick can be used to treat a variety of complaints.
