The word "AcuPolarity" in AcuPolarity Wellness Center, is a synthesis of the type of bodywork we can incorporate into the massage session. "Acu" is for the various forms of acupressure massage including shiatsu, Zen shiatsu, Thai massage, Tui-na, Jin shin and Moxibustion therapy that we do. Acupressure utilizes the same theory and points used in acupuncture, but without the use of needles. The Therapeutic massage benefits are enhanced and last longer when done along with acupressure points.
"Polarity" is for the energy based massage and bodywork techniques from Polarity Therapy, a complete holistic health care system founded by Dr. Randolph Stone, D.O.,D.C.,N.D. Polarity therapy also includes polarity yoga, polarity diet and awareness enhancement methods.
Those who already enjoy therapeutic massage are very appreciative of this work, because it may be easily integrated into a massage session, providing all the muscle relaxing of massage with deeply relaxing energetic balancing.
