bones+beyond also provides accupuncture services. Accupuncture is performed by Kawashima Jun.
Acupuncture uses needles to balance the energy of the body. This energy is called "chi" in Chinese and is the life force that is the driving force behind every physiological function in the body. Using both non-inserting and inserting acupuncture, the therapist opens up energy channels and secures the flow of energy. Acupuncture is extremely helpful in dealing with pain and can also be used to treat internal problems as well.
The therapist gently manipulates the cranium (skull) and the sacrum to free up any restrictions in the system. Both the cranium and the sacram have subtle movement. Any restrictions will inhibit this movement and put unwanted pressure on the central nervous system, in other words, on the brain and the spinal cord, and this system affects all other systems, so it is vital to secure its movement. Headaches, insomnia, and TMJ are some of the conditions that can be treated using this method.
"Myo" means "muscle" and fascia is "muscle tissues." The therapist uses a soft, stretching technique to release any restrictions in the muscular system to create better body balance. Sometimes the fascia carries trapped emotions, and these emotions may arise during a release, which is necessary for authentic healing to occur.
