Dr. Chris Motley: Chinese Medicine Secrets For The Best Digestion, Nervous System & More

In this episode of The Art of Being Well, I sit down with Dr. Chris Motley, a practitioner specializing in Traditional Chinese Medicine, kinesiology, and acupuncture. Dr. Motley explains how the body’s meridians and fascia play a vital role in overall wellness, while sharing his own healing journey from chronic migraines. He also explores how emotional trauma can manifest physically and offers tools for sustainable healing. Whether it’s addressing constipation, anxiety, or emotional blockages, Dr. Motley provides expert advice on using holistic approaches, herbs, and pressure points for optimal health. This episode is packed with actionable steps for total mind-body wellness.

Dr. Chris Motley (DC) is grateful to experience, study, and practice healthcare, particularly from a Traditional Chinese Medicine background. With a diverse set of certifications in Applied Kinesiology, Clinical Kinesiology, Acupuncture, and Craniosacral Therapies, as well as specializations in Nutrition and Lab Analysis, he brings a wealth of knowledge into exploring health in a holistic manner. Kinesiology is a diagnostic and therapeutic system that utilizes the body's muscular system to attain neurological information about a patient. Everyone’s experience and journey with health is unique because we are all bio-individual, but Dr. Motley is gifted at bringing complex health concerns into an application-focused approach that has made an impact on thousands of people by tackling some of their most challenging health endeavors.

Dr. Motley has been practicing for nearly 20 years, and when he founded his own practice, he had no idea that it would grow exponentially simply by word of mouth. According to his patients of all ages, this can be attributed to the individualized and intuitive care he gives to each person in addition to his natural talents and gifts in healing.
