Treatment Techniques
Acupuncture (disposable needles only)
Needles inserted at specific points on the body clear and balance the flow of Chi (energy) in the meridians. Traditional theory says that blockages and imbalances cause disease and impede healing. Through the medium of the needle, good acupuncturists can feel the quality of the patient’s energy flow and direct Chi into the patient’s body, promoting
recovery.
Taiji (aka Tai Chi Chuan)
To learn Tai Chi Chaun is to experience the Yin and Yang of inhale and exhale. Physical action contains the principle of Yin and Yang as well. Therefore, breath and physical action constitute Yin and Yang balance. Yin and Yang of mind takes many years to understand, but people can be taught to use movement and breathing together to empty and relax the mind.
Tui Na (aka acupressure)
Tip: rub your soles and massage your abdomen frequently.
