Our Profile

Acupressure is performed without needles. The body worker uses his or her thumbs, hands, elbows, even a knee where appropriate. He will work along a meridian (the energy pipe way) or on a combination of points from various meridians to achieve a specific goal.

There are twelve traditional meridians throughout the body. Shiatsu is acupressure that is combined with stretching joints and other techniques.

Acupressure naturally reduces pain by stimulating the release of endorphins (the body's own built-in pain releivers). Acupressure also increases the nutrient supply to muscles by promoting cellular exchange, while preventing the buildup of harmful fatigue products, metabolic wastes and lactic acid resulting from strenuous excerice.

Further, Acupressure improves overall muscle tone and relieves painful muscle spasms again often associated with long and strenuous training workouts.

Shiatsu is useful in soft tissue injuries, including muscle strain, sprains, spasms and aches located in the back shoulders, neck and hind quarters. Using Shiatsu speeds up recovery after an injury by increasing blood flow to the affected areas, while lessening inflammation and swelling to the joints.

In addition to improving muscle tone, Shiatsu increases the range of motion and generally improves a horse's disposition as it relieves discomfort. We can learn alot about our animals, just by touching them.
