Objectives : To discuss the therapeutic properties of Daoyin, and suggest ways to apply the Spleen Daoyin Method clinically. Methods : The therapeutic properties of Daoyin were examined in medical texts, after which the movements and effects of the Spleen Daoyin Method were analyzed. Based on relevant contents in the Donguibogam, symptoms and diseases for application of the Spleen Daoyin Method were studied to suggest further clinical application possibilities. Results & Conclusions : Daoyin manages the body by treating diseases, while keeping the Shen intact to manage the mind. In the case of the Five Zhang Daoyin Method, its therapeutic nature is clear as the target is focused on the Five Zhang. The Spleen Daoyin Method is mostly comprised of two movements that enable overall restoration and improvement of the Spleen function. Therefore, it could be applied in cases of Spleen-Stomach diseases where there is functional damage.

A 42-year-old patient with functional dyspepsia had suffered from early satiation and postprandial fullness for 1 year despite Western medicine treatment. We treated her with the Spleen Daoyin method, along with acupuncture, moxibustion, and herbal medicine and scored her symptoms using a 4-point Functional Dyspepsia-related Quality of Life (4p-FD-QoL) questionnaire, the Gastrointestinal Symptom Rating Scale (GSRS), and a visual analogue scale (VAS). A 7-day Spleen Daoyin treatment decreased her 4p-FD-QoL score from 61 to 51, with a marked decrease in the emotional part (18 to 10). Her GSRS score did not change, but her bloating score decreased from 3 to 1. Her VAS score decreased from 6.6 to 4.3 for upper abdomen discomfort, but lower abdomen discomfort was unchanged. The patient showed high compliance and satisfaction with exercise therapy and reported no adverse events. Spleen Dayoin may be a useful therapy for functional dyspepsia, especially when accompanied by psychological problems.
