Further therapy options
During the Shiatsu treatment, I also offer the following therapies:

Guasha Guasha is a traditional Chinese medicine method in which a spoon or scraper made of porcelain, horn, or jade is rubbed over the skin until small or large patches of redness appear. This promotes blood circulation, stimulates the metabolism, improves oxygenation of the tissue, and relieves tension. Guasha is performed at the beginning or end of a Shiatsu treatment. Guasha can be used for the following conditions, among others: - Shoulder and neck pain - Headaches, migraines - Sinusitis, - Thyroid dysfunction, metabolic and digestive problems - Anemia - Chronic eye problems Since the skin is usually very noticeably colored for 1-2 days after a Guasha treatment, those around you should inform the practitioner beforehand and wear appropriate clothing. However, this is worthwhile, as a Guasha treatment is very beneficial.

Scar Removal Scars are blood stagnation and block the flow of Ki. Scars often develop as a result of traumatic events, when the body experiences an injury. Often, the event is also associated with a mental or psychological injury, which can remain in the system and block life energy. Scars are treated when they are painful to pressure, or when the scar tissue is severely discolored or swollen. Treatment is also indicated after several years. I treat scars manually, i.e., with massage to loosen adhesions, and with moxa or vaccaria seeds, as well as magnets.

Moxa Moxa means burning herb and is made from a plant called mugwort. In my practice, I use moxa cigars, tiger warmers, cone moxa, sticky moxa, and thread and rice grain moxa. Moxa is applied to tsubos (acupuncture points), among other things, generating heat and stimulating the flow of ki.

Ear Acupressure Auriculotherapy is based on the assumption that different ear regions correspond to specific body organs, and that the entire body is ultimately projected onto the ear. Towards the end of a Shiatsu treatment, I can use an APM wand to locate the most painful point in the expected pain zone based on the ear map. I work with gold or silver beads and vaccaria seeds, which I then apply to the corresponding ear area. The area can be further stimulated by daily pressure and pressure.

Cupping Cupping regulates and promotes the flow of Ki. It helps remove pathogenic, external influences from the body. In the Western sense, it promotes blood circulation to the skin and thus all skin functions: temperature regulation, hair follicle function, capillary flow, and sweat gland function. In my practice, I use moving cupping. On the creamed back, I create a vacuum with a glass cup and glide it over the skin.
