Tui Na

Friday 6, Saturday 7, Sunday 8

Sifu Mark Appleford from Scotland will be available for Tui Na (Chinese Massage) treatments in Amsterdam. It costs 40 Euros for a 30 minute treatment, longer appointments available. he is extremely good and I can't recommend him enough. There are only a few appointments available, strictly first come first served.

"Tui Na uses the same medical model as acupuncture but instead of using needles, it uses the application of massage/manipulation of the body's soft tissues which directly affect the meridian system. Tui Na alters the movement of chi to establish a harmonious flow which allows the body to balance itself, increasing the healing process. Methods include the use of the hard, arm and elbow to massage the soft tissue of the body and stimulate the acupuncture points. Through the use of manipulation techniques, the muscle and skeletal structure is realigned to help with disorders that directly affect the meridians. Tui Na is an excellent mode of therapy that can help many conditions ranging from acute sports injuries to internal conditions such as anxiety and stress."

Dorn Method and Ground Zero Correction

Friday 6, Saturday 7 and Sunday 8

"Content: The Dorn method is a soft healing method for the spine, the vertebrates and the joints. Simple and effective, this method helps to re-balance the body (often strained from prolonged wrong standing position, outstretched hip joint or traumatic injury). This method is effective for any back or neck disorder issues; the nervous system being related to important meridians running along the spine, this method may improve distant conditions such as tinnitus, chronic headaches or painful menstruations. The Ground Zero correction smoothly balances the first vertebrate which is an important and delicate energetic 'door'.

The Dorn Method and Ground Zero correction are also suitable as a simple check-up method (like a dentist check-up routine). In our clinical experience, such check-up is useful in 90% of all cases.

The treatment only involves 'soft' manipulation. This is NOT chiropraxis, there is No pain or 'shock' to the joints and muscles.

The treatment lasts between 20 and 30 minutes."
