Introduction. In a constantly evolving competitive society, personal health is increasingly neglected due to the fast pace of life, affected by exhausting work, unhealthy diet, and stressful lifestyle. But any man would like to keep his health and that is why he is looking for the most appropriate way for himself. At present, there are two medical doctrines: Western (rationalist), based on Socrates' thesis "Know thyself" and the Eastern one, based on Confucius thesis "Create thyself". [1,5] Materials and methods. Traditional Chinese medicine (MTC) is 5000 years old. With a huge data hoard, a refined culture dedicated to health care and prolonging life, it includes Phyto-therapy (herbal medicine), acupuncture, moxa therapy, pre-puncture, cupping therapy, massage (tui na), exercise (Qigong) and dietary therapy, but is currently influenced by Western modern medicine. Traditional Chinese medicine is a complement and not an alternative, which is based on a fundamental principle: the existence of the two components of nature, Yin and Yang, opposite and yet complementary elements, the theory of the 5 elements (water, fire, wood, earth, metal). ), the theory of internal energy (Qi). By performing TCM techniques, we aim to restore a harmonious flow of Qi vital force through the body, thus allowing the body to heal in a natural way. [4] Since the Zhou Dynasty (1046–771 BC), it is well known that: “the patient's prognosis can be predicted by five smells, five sounds and five colors, accompanied by changes in the nine holes (two eyes, two ears, two nostrils, mouth, urethra and anus) and nine organs (heart, liver, spleen, lungs, kidneys, stomach, large intestine, small intestine, and bladder). ” So the diagnostic methods are purely external, including the interview. of the patient, inspection, pulse examination, patient's tongue. [2] Physical medicine and rehabilitation is a branch of medicine that is concerned with promoting physical and cognitive functioning, activities (including behavior), participation (including quality of life) and changing personal and environmental factors. Thus, she is responsible for the prevention, diagnosis, treatment and management of the rehabilitation of people with disabling conditions and co-morbidities at all ages. [3] We aim to combine these techniques to achieve much better results and to find out what the prospects and challenges are. Results. Traditional Chinese medicine used in rehabilitation can improve pain, increase muscle strength, reduce spasticity, and harmonize the mental state of the patient associated with the disease. Conclusions. The integration of academic science and traditional experience, of Western and Eastern visions on maintaining and strengthening population health, prophylaxis, treatment, and recovery of diseases is very important. MTC methods can be used as complementary methods in medical rehabilitation to increase recovery performance.
