Shiatsu helps other problems in the body, by freeing the flow of energy within the body thus allowing the organ systems to function optimally. Pain is your body telling you something is out of balance. Stuck energy or blood in an area can be moved using Tui Na and Shiatsu. Tui Na is a way of loosening muscles that may keep the body out of alignment. Using this modality can allow the body’s structure to shift back into correct alignment or maintain alignment more easily after being adjusted by another practitioner. The The Chinese system is based on the body’s internal functions being connected to the surface, and that one can effect internal functions and restore balance to the internal organs by manipulating certain points or areas on the surface of the body.
Reflexology is done as part of a whole body treatment. Our hands and feet have the body mapped on them. This means that our structure, as well as our organs, have specific places on our hands and feet where particular parts can be positively affected. During an acupuncture treatment, most clients enjoy a foot massage while needles are in place. This is done for patient relaxation as well as releasing particular areas, dependent upon the client’s imbalance at that time. |
