Shiatsu is a form of energetic bodywork from Japan. It utilizes the same meridians of energy flow as acupuncture, only instead of stimulating them with needles, we use thumb and finger pressure. You receive a treatment fully clothed, and the whole body is treated in every session. Shiatsu is deeply therapeutic with lasting effects, and works on many levels of the whole person: physical, emotional, mental and spiritual. It is also a good choice for those who are interested in trying Asian therapies but just can’t face the needles required for acupuncture. I find shiatsu to be unsurpassed in its ability to treat the whole person. Treat yourself or a loved one to this remarkable therapy.

More information about shiatsu, including photographs of treatments, can be found at www.itmonline.org - shiatsu section.

While physical therapy is not offered as a stand alone treatment option, many of my treatments incorporate techniques I have acquired in my career as a physical therapist. Such skills include musculoskeletal assessment, manual muscle testing, exercise prescription, joint mobilization, deep tissue massage and trigger point release. I have quite a bit of experience in orthopedic and neurological rehabilitation, and am familiar with rehab strategies for conditions such as stroke, brain injury, fractures and orthopedic surgeries.
