Acupuncture - Shiatsu Bodywork & Cupping

A 60-minute appointment in which Dr John Tsagaris blends the practices of precise acupressure and assisted stretching techniques. 

Drawing on over two decades of clinical practice, Dr John Tsagaris will conduct a thorough observation to diagnose you – delving into your current symptoms, medical history, sleep patterns, appetite, hormones, digestion and emotional wellbeing – before carrying out a treatment tailored to your body fusing shiatsu bodywork and acupuncture. 

Dr John relaxes the body through a rhythmic sequence of stretching and acupressure techniques, addressing tight muscles, neck and shoulder discomfort, and lower back pain. As the body attains a state of relaxation and meridians become receptive to further treatment, John employs custom acupuncture techniques to optimise therapeutic outcomes. Consequently, the body begins to self-adjust, promoting its natural healing process.   

 

During the treatment, Dr John may incorporate additional Chinese medicine-inspired techniques including: 

Moxibustion: introducing heat to acupuncture points or meridians using Moxa (a therapeutic herbal agent) or heat lamps to warm and relax the muscles and energy. 

Cupping: applying vacuum-sealed cups to the skin to enhance blood circulation, and alleviate stagnant energy and muscle tension. 

Gua Sha: energetic rubbing with a stone tool, stimulating the skin, boosting blood flow and clearing stagnant energy. 

Ear Acupuncture: a practice which stimulates unique ear points to reinforce and extend therapeutic benefits. 

He may also incorporate herbal or nutritional supplementation, offer dietary and lifestyle adjustments, or suggest additional treatments to further enhance his work.
