The place where pain shows up is not always the place where the problem began. That is why care is not based on the symptom alone: the assessment looks at the body more broadly, observing how movement, muscle and fascial tension, visceral function, sleep, digestion, habits, emotional state and other signs may be connected.
Dr. Chang's training is not used as a set of isolated techniques, nor applied the same way to everyone. It forms a line of reasoning to understand what may be contributing to each complaint: in some cases, movement and tissue tension; in others, the visceral region, the nervous system, patterns identified by Chinese Medicine, or emotional aspects that accompany that story.
Based on this assessment, the most suitable approaches for that moment are chosen. The goal is not to fit everyone into the same treatment, but to look for connections that often go unnoticed when only the painful spot is examined.
Every body has a story. And every case needs to be understood individually.
The human body is made up of different systems that relate to and influence one another.
Health is not only the absence of pain or disease, but also a balance between physical, emotional and neurological aspects and lifestyle habits.
That is why care starts from an individual assessment, considering not only the symptoms presented, but also each person's history, routine and particularities.
The work brings together Traditional Chinese Medicine, osteopathy, craniosacral therapy and other integrative therapies.
Each technique offers a way of observing and understanding the body. Bringing this knowledge together allows a broader assessment, respecting each person's individuality.
A time-honoured medicine that considers the relationships between the body's different functions, lifestyle habits and emotional states.
The tools used include acupuncture, auriculotherapy, moxibustion, cupping and guidance based on the principles of Chinese Medicine.
Focuses on the fascia, a network of connective tissue that surrounds, supports and connects different structures of the body.
The method considers its anatomical and functional relationships, and also incorporates the psychosomatic perspective, which looks at possible interactions between emotional experiences, stress and physical manifestations.
Through touch, it assesses and treats changes in tissue tension and mobility.
Combines neuroscience, posturology and touch-based stimuli.
It considers the relationship between the nervous system, sensory information, postural control and movement.

Gentle, precise touch to release tension in the body's tissues.

A space for reflecting on bonds, experiences and relationship patterns within a family and personal context.
It allows different perspectives on human relationships to be explored, without replacing medical or psychological care when needed.
Complementary care centred on everyday habits and self-care.
It involves guidance on nutrition, rest, sleep, routine and traditional care practices, taking individual needs into account.
No single technique, on its own, defines the care as a whole.
The assessment considers the body as a whole, observing the relationships between body structures, nervous system function, emotional state and lifestyle habits.
Based on this understanding, the approaches are chosen and combined according to the needs identified.
Every case is unique, and the care follows that individuality.
The aim is to understand the person beyond the symptoms, respecting their history, their individuality and their care process.
A few minutes to get to know Dr. Chang's work.
I am a physiotherapist, and I found in Chinese medicine a way of caring that looks at the whole person: body, mind and emotion. At the clinic in Foz do Iguaçu and in online consultations, I see patients in Portuguese, Spanish and Chinese, combining Chinese medicine, osteopathy and craniosacral therapy according to what each person needs.

I no longer have as many headaches; I feel more energetic, cheerful and with a calm mind.
I have never found a professional of this level. Excellent care. Thank you so much! Dr. Chang, you helped me understand the pattern I was living in, and so I was able to resolve what wasn't good for me. Few professionals address this, and I am very grateful for your guidance and direction.

The online consultation is guidance: we talk through your history and you receive self-care advice on habits, sleep and food and, when indicated, a referral to in-person care. It does not replace in-person care.
No. The online consultation is guidance and does not replace in-person care. When an in-person assessment is indicated, I will refer you to it.
Care is offered in Portuguese, Spanish and Chinese (中文). Not in English.
It depends on your complaint and on how your body responds. At the assessment we build an initial plan and review it at every return visit.
The needles are very thin. Most people feel only a light pressure or tingling at the point, which passes quickly.
Care is private. I issue a receipt so you can ask your health plan for reimbursement, if it offers one.
Every body has a story.
