The History of Evolution of the Correspondence Systems Concept Translated from Korean “SU” means “Hand” and “Jok” means “Foot”

Thus this method is one using only hands and feet for medical treatment. Hands and feet carry specific curative systems that follow the principle of likeness; the shapes of the hand and foot resemble the human body. These curative systems are given the name of correspondence systems of hands and feet.

However, the likeness has another aspect; if hands are shaped so much alike to the shapes of the human body, men should have noticed this likeness and used it in treatment. That is, the Power that has created man also took care to provide mechanisms that keep him in health. Such mechanisms manifest the Creator's love for man.

Sometime in 1953, When Prof Park Jae Woo, was scrutinizing his hand, he was struck by the thumb's likeness to the head. By 1974 he had developed a clear idea of the constitutional likeness of human hand and body.

In 1984 Prof Park Jae Woo had made a complete description of the curative correspondence system, which included hands and feet.

Because of the likeness of hand and feet he came to the conclusion that they carry similar systems of correspondence which are in a Yin-Yang relationship.

The correspondence systems of hands and feet were for the first time presented officially in the press in 1987, the delay being due to the needs of other research.

In October of 1987 was printed, and in December of that year - The manual (August of 1988) outlined The Fundamentals of the Su Jok

Theory and also presented the therapeutic correspondence system in the hand and foot and all the metaphysical principles of this curative system.
