Q＆A
- How long is one treatment?
- It takes about 60 minutes depending on your symptoms and body condition.Please allow for 60 minutes for the initial visit since counselling, examination,and explanations are required.
- Is the treatment a hard manipulative style making cracking sounds?
- It is basically a gentle and deep massage that approaches to muscles and fascia while examining the connection of whole body, not like manipulative treatments that make you feel uncomfortable.
- Do you treat the other symptoms besides chronic body pain?
- Many of our clients visit for regular maintenance to relieve daily stress or body tension, or for body wellness. Mind and body are deeply connected. The more your mind is overused, the more your body gets tightened. On the other hand, the more your body releases tension, the more the flexibility and motivation of your mind increase. By not only relieving superficial body tension, we try to improve the body to become self-aware and proactive in its healing. This leads to relief of deep stress by improving essential movement and total body conditioning. In addition, many clients say that various kinds of symptoms such as sciatica, menstrual pain, swelling of the legs and autonomic imbalance have improved as well as lower back pain, neck/shoulder pain, knee pain and foot pain.
