We provide Acupuncture, Shiatsu Therapy and Myokinesthetic treatments to advance your health
Acupuncture
Acupuncture is the insertion of fine needles into your skin. The therapist chooses specific points that are known to direct the Qi towards balancing the body. We believe that a balanced body will become a healthy body.
Acupuncture is rooted in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) and is focused on the individual expression of disease and illness.
Treatment plans are individual. 2 treatments per week for the first 2 weeks are best to start with. 6-8 treatment should show significant improvement
Shiatsu Therapy
Shiatsu is Asian Bodywork and applied through clothes. Shiatsu Anma is one of the specific types of Shiatsu and has its foundations in Chinese Medicine. Practitioners work like Acupuncturists but use their thumbs and palms to direct the Qi towards balancing your body. In a balanced body the Qi is moving freely and harmoniously and good health is achieved.
Treatment plans suggest weekly to monthly treatments. The ultimate goal are health maintenance treatments scheduled every 4-6 weeks.
Myokinesthetics
Myokinesthetics or MYK is a form of bodywork to clear the neural pathways in our body. Active and passive movement along a specific nerve, for example L5 or S1, will manipulate every muscle innervated by that nerve. The result is new neural input which can clear old holding patterns and eliminate pain and neural misinformation and resolve issues such as sciatica (L5) and plantar fasciitis (S1).
Treatment plans are up for 6-8 treatments with 2 treatments per week. After 4-6 treatments should show significant improvement related to your health issue.
