Jin Shin Jyutsu is the art of releasing tensions which are the causes for various symptoms in the body. No longer worried about sabretooth tigers, we now fight deadlines, news stories, financial slumps and other situations. Today, our bodies live in this constant state of stress, and we don’t get a chance to restore our bodies through relaxation. This chronic stress can result in congestion of the flow of life energy, resulting in potential illness. Jin Shin Jyutsu helps to reduce the negative effects of stress and bring balance and healing back to the body.

Do you suffer from a nagging injury like tennis elbow, achilles tendonitis, frozen shoulder, or plantar fasciitis? Shockwave therapy is one of the best research-backed treatments for chronic musculoskeletal conditions that have not healed properly. It involves the application of acoustic sound waves to kick-start healing, control pain, and restore mobility. Shockwave has a piston-like, sometimes uncomfortable, effect over the applied tissue. Often patients will feel relief after their first treatment and can expect more significant and lasting changes within 3-5 applications.
