What is Shinzui Shuhō

It's a whole-body manual therapy, firmly rooted in Eastern bodywork traditions, with special focus on meridian work enriched with Western visceral, fascial and musculoskeletal bodywork.

Why choose Shinzui Bodywork

During a session our aim is to help the body, mind and spirit to regain its balance.

For this we have a wide range of techniques. We listen with our hands to the needs of the body to have a maximal effect on the overall wellbeing of the receiver. It is now proven that Manual Therapy helps to reduce stress and contribute to overall wellbeing, it has both preventative and remedial effects.

In our practice we have the experience to treat a wide range of internal, musculoskeletal, as well as emotional conditions.

Treatment through touch not only reduces muscle stiffness, stimulates the skin, it also aids digestion, and influences the nervous system.

In our treatments we also address a wide range of chronic conditions, such as headaches, PMS, digestive disorders, fatigue, insomnia, fibromyalgia, stress, anxiety, and musculoskeletal pain, including low back, neck, and joint pain.

The effect of the treatment may be stimulating and invigorating or calming and relaxing, depending on the goal of the session.
