Visceral Manipulation is a gentle hands-on therapy that works through the body’s visceral system (the heart, liver, lungs, pericardium, kidneys, spleen, intestines and other internal organs.) This modality is used to locate abnormal tone, adhesions or displacement and alleviate abnormal points of tension throughout the body, to facilitate and re-establish the flow of healing Qi.
Acupressure
Acupressure is a form of bodywork similar to acupuncture, with the aim of stimulating specific points along the energy lines of the body to establish overall health and vitality by balancing Qi (energy) flow. Unlike acupuncture, however, a firm yet gentle pressure to specific points is used, rather than needling, yet produces similar therapeutic results.
This method of touch is used to reduce tension, increase circulation and enable the body to relax deeply, which allows for a deep unwinding of the energy system at the core of one’s being. Thus, by relieving stress, acupressure therapy strengthens resistance to disease and promotes wellness.
Individual clients are instructed in the use of self-acupressure techniques for their personal use, outside of and between regular treatment sessions, in order to continue the effects of the acupuncture and manual therapy treatments.
