Massage

Massage at the Appalachian Acupuncture and Herbology Clinic is provided by Ann Kennedy and Asian Body Therapy.

Ann Kennedy,LMBT(03021) received her training from the Scottsdale School of Healing Arts, Scottsdale, AZ, International School of Shiatsu, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, and the Body Therapy Institute, Siler City, North Carolina.

Her specialty is Zen Shiatsu, the most holistic of all acupressure styles. This type of massage works well for clients who also receive acupuncture. It balances the mind, body, and spirit of the individual. Traditional Shiatsu and Barefoot styles are practiced on a floor mat. A chair or massage table may also be used.

Shiatsu is applied to the body using the fingers, hands, elbows, knees and feet. Ann uses a combination of pressing, pulling, and stetching to release and open the energy channels of the body. When there is pain you have blocked energy.

Through an assessment process the excess and deficient energy paths are located and the practitioner will plan a treatment that will assist the body in restoring itself to its own natural balance.

No OILS, or LOTIONS are used and the person remains CLOTHED
