Bodywork and other Therapies

Other therapies used with Integrated Acupuncture

Massage

Massage is included in most traditional therapies. Treatment here blends acupressure, Chinese massage, and western therapeutic massage. It can be firm and vigorous, or use light movements to influence energy flow.

Mobilization

There are many ways of correcting tight muscles and joints without manipulating. Muscle Energy Technique increases range of movement, while Orthobionomy and Fascial Unwinding allow tight muscles to release without effort.

Palm Healing

A Japanese traditional method, it uses light touch or no contact. Eguchi Toshihiro did not hold with the large fees being charged to Reiki students, and taught the similar Palm Healing instead. He believed it was a simple and natural form of healing which should be available to all.

Chinese Dietary Therapy

We easily class foods as "good" or "bad" in the west,
but the oriental view is that every food has it's own energetic behaviour. Once we understand this, we can use diet as a tool and choose foods which will support our own unique situation. Even small changes in eating habits can profoundly influence treatment by affecting our daily energy production.
