Acupuncture

With summer just around the corner, many people are looking to ramp up their summer health plans. Whether it is a fitness plan or a vow to eat less heavy food and eat more greens, the warm weather has ignited a fire under us and the spark of motivation has been lit.

With that said, what most people neglect in their efforts to prepare for the activities of summer is a full body check up. Not your yearly G.P. visit, although that’s always a good idea too, but an in-depth look at your physical and mental health. Maybe it’s an old shoulder injury that gets flared up every time you push too hard, or digestive difficulties despite your best efforts to eat well, or perhaps it’s that nagging feeling of anxiety or sadness which isn’t fading with the improving weather. Not only can Chinese medicine and acupuncture help address the roots of these issues, it can also act as a support to your spring/summer health plan by preventing injury, aiding digestion, improving heart and organ health, managing stress and helping you stay happy, healthy, motivated and prepared for what the summer has to offer.

Shiatsu

This time of year it is natural to want to change your diet and daily habits to shake off the heaviness of winter and welcome the lightness of spring. Often, a dietary cleanse and new exercise regime are techniques to wake up the body.

Shiatsu is a good support system for your spring cleanse. Gentle, but firm pressure on the muscle and organ tissues helps to circulate the lymphatic system more effectively: metabolic solutes or waste, acids and exterior substances such as viruses, bacteria and drugs are collected in the lymphatic system and transferred to the cardiovascular system, where they are filtered out through the kidneys and eliminated from the body.

Stimulation of the lymphatic system with pressure boosts the immune response and helps alleviate the autoimmune symptoms of allergies that are prevalent this time of year.
