TIEN CHEN SHIATSU Tien chen shiatsu therapy is a form of manipulation administered by the thumbs, fingers, palms and probes, applying pressure to the body, to correct internal malfunctioning, promote and maintain health, and treat specific ailments. It works by applying pressure to certain tsubos (acupoints) along particular meridians. What is a meridian? Meridian lines are defined as channels of energy in the body. Some are associated with the functioning of the internal organs, and some are associated with the mind. Western medicine does not acknowledge that there is a relationship between the skin and the internal organs. The Orient developed a system of treating disease by stimulating points on the skin that are connected to the functioning of the internal organs and the functioning of the mind. What is the purpose of Tien chen shiatsu? The purpose of manipulation therapy is to heal people by working with a person's natural healing force to correct any internal malfunctioning and to balance the mind with the body. Headache, migraine, insomnia, stiff neck, tennis elbow, constipation, arthritis, back pain, sports injuries, stress, frozen shoulder, cramp, whiplash injury, and sciatica are a few of the disorders that respond to this therapy. |
