Shiatsu

Shiatsu is a Japanese word which means finger pressure· This form of healing massage uses pressure from thumbs, fingers, elbows and knees to concentrate pressure on certain energy pathways·within a person’s body. Unlike more traditional massage techniques, with Shiatsu the client remains fully clothed and no massage oils are used. Most Shiatsu experts subscribe to the theory that the applied pressure creates increased circulation in the body, as well as an improved function of the lymphatic system causing harmful toxins to be released, as well as lessening tension and fatigue.

Acupuncture

Acupuncture is the insertion of fine needles the body at specific points which have been empirically proven effective in the treatment of specific Disorders. The Word “Acupuncture” comes from the Latin words acus, meaning Needle, and pungere, meaning Puncture. The diameter of the needle used for treatment is disposable and as a shaft of hair. One might experience slight pain comparable to that of a mosquito bite. If, after treating 2 or 3 body parts the pain becomes unbearable, further treatment will not be performed. The Clinic, however, can confidently assure patients that any concern regarding pain is not necessary.
