Combined Acupuncture with Other Therapies

Health Is Our Greatest Possession

Combining Massage with Acupuncture enhances the effectiveness of each therapy, as both therapies access the body at different levels. Massage uses a variety of techniques which allows muscles to relax, stiff joints to loosen.  The body absorbs more oxygen, which rejuvenates the body.  It leaves the body relaxed and more receptive, which makes the acupuncture more powerful.

 

We use this combination to assist in correcting problems and imbalances for musculoskeletal issues that are caused from repetitive and / or strenuous physical activity, trauma and poor posture.

Shiatsu Acupressure works on the same principles as Acupuncture (TCM) and accesses the same Acupoints. Shiatsu uses techniques which involve hand pressure, stretching, squeezing, tapping, stroking and rubbing in order to release muscles, improve circulation and restore balance in the body. I often blend these two therapies if you are experiencing any emotional stress, depression, or are worried about acupuncture needles. 

The hand on, gentle approach Shiatsu offers gives the person receiving it a deep sense of calm, is nurturing and feels deeply supportive. Shiatsu has a unique way of reaching a person on lots if different levels, including physical and emotional problems. Incorporating Shiatsu into an Acupuncture session can feel deeply restorative.

“Reiki is a Japanese technique for stress reduction and relaxation that also promotes healing. It is administered by “laying on hands” and is based on the idea that an unseen “life force energy” flows through us and is what causes us to be alive. If one’s “life force energy” is low, then we are more likely to get sick or feel stress, and if it is high, we are more capable of being happy and healthy.
 
The word Reiki is made of two Japanese words – Rei which means “God’s Wisdom or the Higher Power” and Ki which is “life force energy”. So Reiki is actually “spiritually guided life force energy.
 
A treatment feels like a wonderful glowing radiance that flows through and around you. Reiki treats the whole person including body, emotions, mind and spirit creating many beneficial effects that include relaxation and feelings of peace, security and wellbeing. Many have reported miraculous results.
 
Reiki is a simple, natural and safe method of spiritual healing and self-improvement that everyone can use. It has been effective in helping virtually every known illness and malady and always creates a beneficial effect. It also works in conjunction with all other medical or therapeutic techniques to relieve side effects and promote recovery.
 
Reiki complements Acupuncture well, and Amanda can combine the treatments to enhance the energy work during the session.”
