Red Hand Medicine

Led by Dr. Joshua Jimenez, Red Hand Medicine in Bayfield blends Traditional Chinese Medicine with martial arts discipline. The practice traces its roots to 2003, when a broken arm healed by Dr. Huang Pao Chin sparked a student-mentor relationship that eventually led to formal training at Southwest Acupuncture College in Boulder. Dr. Jimenez’s education includes specialized instruction in Tuina from Dr. LiLu and trigger point therapy from Michael Young, followed by over a year of immersive training under 34th-generation Shaolin Warrior monk Shifu Shi Yanjun. This lineage culminated in Dr. Jimenez becoming a 35th-generation Shaolin disciple and teaching TCM classes at the Shaolin Temple in Yunnan. The clinic offers acupuncture for issues ranging from allergies to memory difficulties, moxibustion for fatigue and digestion, and herbal treatments tailored to individual needs. Services also include trigger point therapy for pain relief and Tuina, a spinal manipulation technique designed to strengthen the central nervous system. Kung Fu’s mindful movement, deep breathing, and focused intention are integrated to promote physical and mental well-being, completing a holistic approach that treats symptoms while educating patients on their body’s inherent healing capacity.
