Meridian Therapy

Meridian therapy (also known as ‘keiraku chiryo’ in Japanese) was developed in Japan in the 1930s as a movement to preserve traditional principles within the acupuncture profession. Meridian therapy is based on the classical texts of Chinese medicine dating back 2500 years, with its emphasis on the meridian system that connects not only the musculoskeletal structure but also the internal organs. Diagnosis involves a systematic palpation based approach aimed at improving the circulation of qi (vital energy) to bring the body back into balance, on both a physical and emotional level.

Toyohari Meridian Therapy

Toyohari is a form of meridian therapy that was developed by a group of blind practitioners in Japan. Today it is practiced by both blind and sighted practitioners and the association has extensive branches in Europe, the UK, Australia, New Zealand and the USA. It involves a unique style of needling using very fine silver needles and non-insertive needle techniques that influence the flow of the qi in the meridian system.

Moxa Therapy

Moxa techniques use the refined product of the mugwort plant which is smoldered over specific areas of the skin. In the tradition of the minimalism and elegance which is generally characteristic of Japanese culture, when moxa is burnt on the points themselves, it is of the highest refinement, and rarely uses pieces larger than the size of sesame seeds or 'half-rice-grain sized . Moxa plays an important part in bolstering the immune system and treating chronic conditions. It can also be prescribed as home therapy to support clinical treatments.

Cupping

Cupping involves placing special suction cups on the skin. It helps to increase qi (energy) flow and is therefore effective in releasing tight muscles and is especially helpful for tension and stiffness in the back and shoulder area.

Treatment of Children
"Shonishin"

Using a special delicate technique, children respond very quickly and positively to treatments. Shonishin was developed over 250 years ago in Japan for children and even babies and has been shown to be helpful for a range of problems, including asthma, recurrent ear infections or colds, musculoskeletal, gastro-intestinal, behavioral, psychological, skin, urinary and developmental problems.
