WHAT IS ACUPUNCTURE ?

Acupuncture is a specialty of traditional Chinese medicine that has been practiced for over 2,500 years.

It restores the body's balance without chemicals or side effects, making it an ideal therapeutic treatment for relieving chronic or acute pain and illness. In Chinese medicine, no distinction is made between body and mind because they correspond to each other: the mind affects the body and vice versa.

Acupuncture is therefore indicated for both physical and psychological pain. Since 2003, the World Health Organization has recognized the effectiveness of acupuncture in the treatment of more than 100 pathologies. Read the article.

TUINA

Tui Na massage requires precise Chinese diagnosis for optimal treatment. We work with different massage techniques specific to tuina (pressure, kneading, friction…) to release physical and energetic blockages in the body, correct tendino-muscular and musculo-articular disorders.

It can also help fight, among other things, insomnia, constipation, headaches and migraines as well as tensions related to stress. It can be an alternative or complementary to acupuncture.

PEDIATRIC TUINA

One of the little-known branches of Chinese medicine is the Xiao Er Tui Na or pediatric tuina. It is a specific massage that can treat small children (0 to 10 years old) instead of using acupuncture.

Based on the principles of Chinese medicine, the therapist makes a diagnosis to determine the cause of the problem and treat it at its root. Soft and simple, the pediatric tuina does not involve any manipulation.

Points or areas are massaged using specific techniques. These massages aim to strengthen the weakened ground or the system in imbalance. Complementary to Western medicine which treats Acute (asthma attack, constipation), pediatric tuina also treats the root. As the sessions progress, the problem is less and less frequent and less and less severe.

The child is less and less dependent on medication until it is no longer so: asthma, constipation, diarrhea, stomach ache, headaches, convulsions, pyretic syndrome, cough, rhinitis ...

It is also a solution for problems such as bedwetting, crying at night, anxiety, hyperactivity, listlessness, stunted growth, or when the child shakes his head to fall asleep. Finally, any problem arises from an imbalance and necessarily has a solution.

PRICES

Course of a session

Depending on the problem encountered, I use the appropriate massage. Soft and simple, it does not involve any manipulation. The parent is invited to participate and take notes so that they can continue the care at home every 1 or 2 days until recovery. Then 1 to 2 follow-up sessions may be necessary to readjust the massage according to the progress.

Asthma example

The xiao er tui na massage aims to strengthen the weakened ground or the system in imbalance (different from the respiratory physiotherapy which makes up the mucus mechanically). As the sessions progress, the seizures are less and less frequent and less and less severe.

Patrick 9 months: in the emergency room every week. Notorious effects after 10 days, complete disappearance after 1.5 months.

Arthur 6 years old: chronic asthma for 4 years. Complete disappearance of symptoms after 2 weeks.
