EARLY BIRD PRICING UNTIL 3/20/2020
Besides regular needle insertion techniques for children, Soma will present the use of sho-ni-shin, a non-needle, painless, Japanese system used for infants and children which can be of great help for fearful or very delicate children. It is easy to learn and to use, yet can be very effective in getting positive results for chronic and some acute common childhood disorders. Basic differences between children and adults, diagnostic skills and patterns differentiation will be reviewed.
WHAT IS SHONISHIN:
Sho-ni-shin is a Japanese system of acupuncture used for infants and children which originated several hundred years ago in the Kansai area (Southwest Japan).
It makes use of small metal tools designed specifically for children, which stimulate the channels and acupuncture points without penetrating and breaking the skin. Hence, it is non-invasive and painless. It is very comfortable and does not cause any discomfort to the child, who learns to enjoy the sho-ni-shin treatment and looks forward to be treated again.
In spite of this relative ease, this type of treatment can be quite effective for most chronic and constitutional disorders and can also be used to boost a weak immune system, as a preventive or maintenance for good health.
