Shiatsu is a Japanese bodywork
therapy based in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). The foundation
of the TCM system is the understanding that the body contains well-defined
pathways and stores of life-energy (Qi) that connect every part of the body
and regulate all our functions. It is believed that many (if not
most) of our illnesses, discomforts, and complaints are related to imbalances
in our life-energy system.
The goal of a Shiatsu treatment is to promote healing by assessing
the existing imbalances, developing a treatment strategy to correct those
imbalances, and then providing the appropriate treatment.
Acupressure is
a bodywork therapy similar to Shiatsu, except that the treatment is generally
less active and involves sustained holding or pressing of acupoints to achieve
the treatment goals.
What is a Shiatsu/Acupressure Treatment Like?
The session will begin with an intake and assessment. You
will be asked some questions and you will have the opportunity to ask any
questions you may have about the treatment or the practitioner. The
assessment serves to customize the treatment for each client.
The treatment is given in a comfortable and quiet atmosphere. You
will remain clothed, so it is recommended that you wear loose and comfortable
clothing (sweatpants/tights and a t-shirt work well). Relaxing music
may be played and you will be lying on a comfortable cotton futon.
Generally, the full body is treated during a session, including
work on the back, neck, shoulders, arms, legs, stomach, head and face.
Various techniques include touch, pressure, passive movement and stretching,
acupressure, and energy-balancing.
The amount of pressure and the techniques used will be adjusted
to your comfort level. You will always be touched with respect and compassion.
At the completion of the session, self-care suggestions and recommendations
may be offered to empower your own healing and self-care efforts.
Wellness Counseling sessions
offer the opportunity to review your Health and Life goals with a practitioner
who will work with you to develop an action plan for reaching those goals
and for working through the blocks and frustrations that often arise when
making changes in one’s lifestyle.
The wisdom of Traditional Chinese Medicine, along with Holistic
and Eastern philosophies, serves as the foundation for these sessions - offering
unique perspectives and powerful tools for reaching your health and life goals.
These sessions can also be used to explore your illness or condition
from TCM and Holistic perspectives, providing insights that can assist you
in creating a strategy for self-care and treatment - a service not typically
offered in conventional medical care.
On-Site Shiatsu Chair Treatments
are available by arrangement. Provide an experience that everybody loves
at your next event or party. Reward your employees and office staff
with deeply relaxing 15-20 minute treatments given in a massage chair.
Services For People With Cancer (Or Those
Interested In Cancer Prevention). Half
of my weekly practice is providing shiatsu treatments and education to cancer
patients at the Joan Karnell Cancer Center in Philadelphia, www.pennhealth.com/karnell. With advanced
training and many years of experience in working with cancer patients, I am
able to offer my services as complementary/integrative care for those undergoing
conventional medical treatment for cancer, for family members/caregivers of
patients, or for those interested in a cancer prevention lifestyle. Focuses
of care are:
Creating Optimal Health. I especially enjoy
working with those people that have made a commitment to being responsible
for their own health and well-being. Shiatsu, acupressure, and the wisdom
of Traditional Chinese Medicine can be invaluable tools for those seeking
to optimize their health and their performance in life.
Maximizing Performance for Professionals. Busy
professionals can benefit from the stress-reducing and performance enhancing
effects of Shiatsu and Wellness Counseling. If stress, tension, and the multiple
demands of career, family, and life are interfering with your performance
and enjoyment of life, it is time to do something about it!
Make it a priority to schedule time for self-care.
Explore how the wisdom of Traditional Chinese Medicine can be put to work
for you – to boost your performance, clear your focus, bolster your will-power,
increase your stamina, sharpen your skills, and manage stress.
