HILOT

Filipino Health System

Hilot is a Filipino word meaning “massage therapy” or “Healer” ; it is the ancient Filipino art of natural healing which employs massage, Chiropractic / Osteopathy manipulation and dietetic for the diagnosis and treatment of physical, emotional and energetical problems.

Hilot is one of the oldest and the most secret Art in the Philippines. Traditionally, Hilot is either inherited, passed from one generation to the next, or learn in secret from master to disciple in the Healing and/or Martial Arts community.

We believe the philosophy developed in our Ni Tien Schools will help the student to question himself about health, sickness, their causes and their origins. In ancient time in Asia, it was believed that nothing “just happen by accident”; everything is the result of a decision, a thought, an action... even health. Health is “only” the result of consciousness and lifestyle (we are not talking about car accidents, etc.)... How well we take care of our vehicle.

After years of studies and experiences in Filipino Hilot and Chinese medicine, several traditional massage schools, and osteopathy, Guro Fred Evard has developed his own massage and healing method, synthesis of Filipino Hilot, Chinese Tui Na, Thai massage, Physiotherapy and Osteopathy, body alignment, and dietetic.

His Hilot method is a complete natural therapy, based principally on prevention. It has several disciplines, all being complementary or independent, depending on the needs:

- Massage

- Body Alignment

- Energy work (Panlohob na Lakas, Breathing, visualisation, Gi Gong...)

- Dietetic and detoxification

- Body coordination and Sinawali exercises

Hilot massage is a very efficient therapy. It increases articulations mobility and flexibility, takes care of the muscular and emotional “knots”, boost up the energy of internal organs, makes the energy (Qi), blood, lymph and toxins flow inside or outside the body, and helps the healing of the emotional problems and past traumas.
