Classical Five-Element Acupuncture is an ancient tradition of acupuncture based on the principle that five universal elements (wood, fire, earth, metal, and water) exist in everything and everyone. These Elements affect a person’s emotions, personality, health, and response to treatment. Each individual is influenced by one element more than the others. This is known as the Causative Factor, more commonly referred to as the “CF”. Classical Five-Element differs from other schools of acupuncture as it focuses on the diagnosis and treatment of the “CF” as the source of imbalance. This approach to treatment also acknowledges that mind, body, and spirit are an integrated whole and that symptoms are a reflection of imbalance within that whole. Each patient will have a different treatment process that reflects the uniqueness of that individual and the cause of illness. (Learn more about treatment)
Rolfing® Structural Integration is a holistic bodywork technique that seeks to restore mobility, balance, and vitality. It is based on the release and reorganization of the myo-fascial complex (muscles and fascia, also known as connective tissue) of the body. Rolfing® takes into consideration the effects of gravity, movement, and time on the body. It endeavors to return the body to its natural balance and form, consequently building postural efficiency and a greater range and ease of movement. (Learn more about treatment)
