Hello! This is Holy Acupuncture, dedicated to keeping you healthy.
Many people know the benefits of acupuncture, but often miss out on timely treatment because they are scared of needles or dislike the pricking sensation.
If that sounds like you, don’t worry! While most patients receive acupuncture comfortably, manual therapy (a non-invasive hands-on approach) serves as an excellent alternative for those who feel anxious or afraid of needles.
💡 What is Manual Therapy (Sugi Therapy)?
Manual therapy is a traditional technique where a practitioner uses their fingertips to gently press key acupoints on the abdomen and body to unblock the flow of Qi and energy.
Because it uses hands-on pressure without any tools, it causes no pain or discomfort and is particularly effective for regulating the autonomic nervous system:
Relieves Sympathetic Nervous System Tension: Soothes nerves irritated by pain and stress.
Activates the Parasympathetic Nervous System: Relaxes the body and brings peace of mind.
🌿 Two Key Acupoints in Manual Therapy
The abdomen contains vital acupoints closely connected to the autonomic nervous system and internal organs. Here are two primary acupoints stimulated during therapy:
Zhongwan (CV12 – Mid-Abdomen)
Location: Halfway between the sternum and the belly button.
Effects: Gently pressing this point as you exhale relieves tension in the stomach, improves digestive function, and calms the mind.
Tianshu (ST25 – Bilateral Abdomen)
Location: About 2 to 3 finger-widths to the left and right of the belly button.
Effects: Applying firm yet gentle pressure to both sides stimulates bowel movement and promotes blood circulation around the abdomen.
✨ Recommended For:
Those with a fear or phobia of acupuncture needles
Individuals suffering from indigestion, bloating, or chronic stress
Those who experience stomach pain or autonomic nervous system imbalance when anxious
Anyone seeking a gentle, non-invasive holistic treatment
