Japanese Acupuncture

Acupuncture blends Classical TCM and Japanese Meridian Theory with structural and myofascial techniques for the treatment of pain, soft tissue injuries, postural imbalances and other general systemic disorders.Expanding a traditional acupuncture overview to include the physical manifestations of injury i.e. tight muscles and trigger points that are the result of structural imbalances, disease processes, emotional holding patterns and pain, years of chronic constrictions can yield in relatively few sessions.
Acupuncture is used as a "physical therapy" to release the muscular, skeletal and emotional holding patterns that are the root causes of tension, pain, postural assymmetries, the precursors of injury, and the residues of internal disease.
The aim of treatment is to create a harmonious balance within the musculoskeletal and meridian systems that generates healing and promotes overall health and well-being.
Drawing upon the works of Dr. Mark Seem (Acupuncture Physical Medicine), Kiko Matsumoto, Shudo Denmai, the trigger point therapy of Dr. Janet Travell and other traditional practitioners, this method incorporates the best from both eastern and western medical practices.

In the world of yin and yang, it's all about balance, a dance of harmonies that shape the world around us. Too much yang, and the flames of chaos might consume everything in their path. Too much yin, and the world might slip into a silent slumber, its vitality smothered. Life's canvas is painted with strokes of both, ...

The story of the five elements in Chinese medicine a bedtime story

  Once upon a time in ancient China, there was a peaceful village nestled between rolling hills and a flowing river. The villagers lived harmoniously, practicing the ancient art of Chinese medicine to maintain their health and well-being.
