ASIAN BODYWORK

Asian bodywork is performed with patients wearing loose-fitting clothing. Generally, no oils or lotions are used. Treatments may be performed on a table, in a chair or on a thick futon mat on the floor. Asian bodywork has its roots in the theories of Oriental medicine.



ACUPRESSURE

Acupressure is the application of finger pressure on acupuncture points along the body. It rarely used as a stand-alone treatment, but rather is incorporated into acupuncture, tui na or shiatsu treatments. The choice of acupuncture points used in acupressure is determined by Oriental medical theory.


TUI NA

Tui Na is one of the principle branches of treatment in Traditional Chinese Medicine. This form of Asian bodywork focuses on balancing yin and yang within the body by influencing the qi within the meridians. Tui Na helps to stimulate areas of deficiency and sedate areas of excess in the body to achieve balance. It is commonly administered in conjunction with acupuncture.


SHIATSU

Shiatsu is a type of Asian bodywork originating in Japan. It involves light pressure on acupuncture points or along meridians, gentle stretching, and meditation in order to balance the qi in the body and promote relaxation and healing.


NUAD BORAN (Thai Style Bodywork)

Nuad Boran, also known as Thai Bodywork, is an ancient form of bodywork that is believed to have originated out of yoga and oriental medicine. Yoga-like stretches are combined with finger, palm, and foot stimulation along meridians in order to allow the balanced and smooth flow of qi and blood in the body.
