1 Supporting Senior Animals with Acupressure/Shiatsu, Based on the Physiology and Energy of Aging Presented by Megan Ayrault, LMP, L/SAMP Founder of AllAboutAnimalMassage.com
2 What is aging?
3 Decline/decay/degeneration Growth Change over time!
4 Aging is not all negative. Still, some parts of aging we d like to slow down! AND in addition to delaying it, we want to have optimal quality of life for whatever quantity of time there is.
5 To delay physical degeneration, and optimize quality of ease and vitality, the health and function of individual cells in the body is key. And for cells to remain healthy, they need to be in an environment that is in homeostasis.
6 Two things (among others) happen with aging. Maybe two sides of the same coin?? 1. The mechanisms for maintaining homeostasis lose their ability to function. 2. Cells are damaged and eventually die when their environment (the fuids all around them) are not in homeostasis.
7 So what is homeostasis, and how is it maintained?
8 (from Wikipedia) Homeostasis or homoeostasis (homeo- + -stasis) is the property of a system in which variables are regulated so that internal conditions remain stable and relatively constant. Examples of homeostasis include the regulation of temperature and the balance between acidity and alkalinity (ph). It is a process that maintains the stability of the [human] body's internal environment in response to changes in external conditions.
9 Blood and body fuids = the sea within us'
10 What is this sea made of? blood plasma-the liquid part of blood, not the blood cells themselves. Primarily exists within the circulatory system (veins, arteries, capillaries, etc.), and some also in intercellular spaces because it can pass in and out through capillary walls. interstitial fuid- fuid in the spaces between the cells ( extracellular fuid has both interstitial fuid and some plasma)
11 Blood plasma and interstitial fuid are very similar to each other. Wikipedia: This similarity exists because water, ions, and small solutes are continuously exchanged between plasma and interstitial fuids across the walls of capillaries. For example, in addition to water, both have electrolytes (bicarbonate, calcium, potassium, sodium, chloride ions,...).
12 The electrolyte balance affects ph (and also osmotic pressures across capillary membranes)
13 The ph of the fuids that bathe every cell (the inner sea ) is a key aspect of homeostasis, and it's so vital that it be maintained within a very narrow range ( ), that the body has equally vital mechanisms to maintain it constantly...
14 Questions so far?
15 A look at connections between Eastern and Western ways of looking at and explaining some physiology...!
16 The two primary ways our bodies regulate the homeostasis of the body's fuids are with the functions of the kidneys and the lungs. Or, in the Eastern view, the Kidneys and the Lungs. :-)
17 The kidneys contribute to this by the fact that they flter the blood, and the lungs contribute by being able to adjust how much CO2 they retain or release. The lung responses can be faster for 'quick fxes'. The kidney adjustments are slower, but longer-lasting. (The intestinal tract also contributes some to maintaining homeostasis of the blood, but the role of the kidneys and lungs are more primary.)
18 In Eastern traditions there is a common theme of seeing life and the world in term of Chi energy (or Qi, or Ki,.) Various forms of chi include chi that comes from nutrition, chi from the air we breathe, chi that fows in the meridians,... And one form of chi, Jing, we inherit from our parents.
19 And where is Jing chi housed in the body? In the Kidney Meridian!
20 From Shiatsu: The Complete Guide by Chris Jarmey and Gabriel Mojay To the Chinese,... the water element symbolized the source of life. In the body, this originating aspect of the Water Element is refected in the Original Ki and its substantial basis, the Essence, or Jing, both of which are controlled by the Kidneys. The Kidneys are the Yin Organ of the Water Element; the Bladder its Yang Organ. The Essence forms the 'core' of the bodymind, and could be said, in scientifc terms, to contain the genetic material needed for conception and new life.
21 Questions?
22 Western view: 1 st function of the kidneys is to flter the blood Eastern view: 1 st function of the Kidneys is to store the Essence
23 Another function of Kidneys is to govern Water in the body Kidney and Lungs have very close relationship Note that the Kidneys and Lungs have a reciprocal relationship: the Kidneys vaporize the Body Fluids and send them up to the Lungs for dispersal; the Lungs send down Body Fluids to the Kidneys for their excretion. Body Fluids are the product of food and drink which have been transformed and separated by the Spleen and Stomach. The 'clean' fuids are transported to the Lungs. The Lungs then disperse them around the body and under the skin, as well as down to the Kidneys.
24 Associations with the Kidney Meridian (and Bladder): -Water element -relate to aging -energy of purifcation -bone tissue, marrow and teeth -hair/coat -ears and hearing -emotion of fear and anxiety -season is winter- the same season we associate with old age! Remember though, the seasons are cyclical. Is winter the end, or middle, or beginning??? :-)
25 Location of the Kidney Meridian
26 Location of the Kidney Meridian
27 Some tonifying techniques for Kidney Chi/Ki... Hold lower abdomen (hara) and low back (not acupressure, but Shiatsu).
28 Ki 3: Source Point, good to balance whole meridian Bl 23: Association Point for Kidney meridian, also good for arthritis
29 from Shiatsu: The Complete Guide by Chris Jarmey and Gabriel Mojay -Doing Lu 7 and Ki 6 together-- this opens Conception Vessel, which helps the Lungs and Kidneys to communicate. (Lu 7 is medial and distal radius, on condyle; Ki 6 is caudal/medial/mid tarsals)
30 Additional notes: Ki 1- don't over stimulate on 'defcient' conditions. Best used for clearing excess, especially in upper body, including headache, insomnia, mental agitation, stroke, diffculty urinating, low back pain. The Well-Connected Dog, by Amy Snow and Nancy Zidonis, also lists Ki 1 to use for shock. Ki 27, also the calm down points from the Rescue Dog Massage class, are also nice connection to Lungs due to effect for respiration, ribs, and chest.

33 I will be making a similar course for horses, so watch for that! Other courses available so far include Helping My Dog s Hips and Hind End, Equine Back Pain, classes I call Rescue Dog Massage and Rescue Horse Massage, and Intro packages,...
34 from Shiatsu: The Complete Guide by Chris Jarmey and Gabriel Mojay A natural and harmonious decline is as much an expression of a healthy Essence as is normal growth and development in children. If one expresses one's willpower wisely, the Essence is well preserved and diminishes slowly. The wise person adapts to its decline and makes perfect use of the Essence they have, thus maintaining vitality.
