Shonishin

Shonishin is the Japanese alternative to traditional needle acupuncture for children. Instead of sharp acupuncture needles, special instruments are used to apply linear strokes or pressure and tapping techniques along the meridians. This way, pain-free and effective therapeutic effects are achieved. It focuses on the energetic development of the child from both Eastern and Western perspectives and offers basic as well as specific treatments that take the child's developmental stage into account. Additionally, typical childhood illnesses are addressed, and case studies are included.
