SUGI therapeutic bodywork is appropriate for addressing many common health issues. From alleviating lower back pain to boosting the immune system, Sugi offers a natural, non-invasive, and soothing modality of bodywork. It harnesses the healing power inherent in our hands and offers excellent preventive measures.
As a special Eastern style of “acupressure,” Sugi focuses on more than just superficial muscles. Instead, firm yet comfortable pressure is applied to acupressure points throughout your body, for several seconds or minutes at a time. Though there are overlaps, Sugi differs from chiropractic or osteopathic modalities since direct manipulation on bones is rarely employed. Sugi bodywork is founded on the traditional Chinese medical system which aims to restore your body’s physiological balance and natural energy flow.
Each Sugi therapeutic sesson lasts 40 minutes with the client lying on a floor mattress and wearing light clothing. It is a full-body treatment from head to toe and covers both the front and back of the body, consistent with Sugi’s holistic approach to attaining an overall sense of balance and well-being.
