Welcome! This site is designed for people interested in learning more about Acupuncture and Zen Shiatsu in Austin, Texas and how it can benefit them. In short... Your body is a self-healing, self-regulating organism. When you
break a bone, get a cut or a bruise, your body heals itself. Colds and flus go
away. Sometimes your body needs a boost to help maintain its balance and do its
job correctly. We say that Zen Shiatsu and acupuncture stimulate the
body's innate healing mechanism by stimulating the circulatory, lymphatic,
hormonal, neuromuscular, musculo-skeletal, respiratory, digestive, and
autonomic nervous systems.
Acupuncture and Zen Shiatsu are rooted in the theories of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) and based on the principle that energy flows like water through the body in a series of pathways, called meridians. These merdians are similar to rivers and canals. Sometimes the energy (qi or ki) flow is disrupted or diminished and we may experience symptoms in the body. To find out more about...
