Treatment Techniques
I use a variety of therapeutic techniques to promote healing and well-being:
Japanese Acupuncture
Acupuncture and moxibustion has a proven track record of its effectiveness in the treatment of pain, musculoskeletal dysfunctions and internal health conditions.
Japanese acupuncture often uses fewer needles than Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM.)
Physical balancing is also provided 99% of the time to integrate many therapies and enhance the treatment effects.
Japanese Physical Medicine
Presenting Sekkotsu, essentially Japanese for “Bone setting”, including non-surgical methods of aligning broken bones, correcting dislocations, improving and correcting joint mobility, improving posture and joint/ligament/muscle balance.
Sekkotsu has similarities with western Osteopathy/Chiropractic and Physiotherapy.
In addition, Sekkotsu practitioners are highly skilled in utilizing acu-points to decrease pain and improve mobility.
Cranial-Sacral Technique
Known in Japanese as Kenkujutsu, it is a gentle hands-on treatment brings balance to the head and spine and that may provide relief from a variety of symptoms including headaches, neck pain, stiffness and others.
As it is non-invasive, it is suitable for everyone from newly-born babies to the elderly.
Visceral Balancing
Known as Ampuka in Japanese, this is an intra-abdominal massage technique designed to promote healthy internal organs.
Your internal organs are surrounded by connective tissue that should be loose enough to allow your stomach to expand when you eat, your lungs to open and accept air, your intestines to constrict and relax to move waste to your colon.
They also have connections with the rest of the body, so it is important to have a healthy belly!
Japanese Anma Massage
An integration of acupressure/shiatsu with remedial massage, visceral massage, remedial exercise and our unique head to toe balancing routine to improve recovery and treat related imbalances.
This type of massage can be helpful when it comes to helping an individual to restore the health and vigour of their bodies.
A hands-on technique, it can be also combined with the use of cupping, Gua Sha ('scraping'), massage gun and other tools.
Neuro Linguist Programming
In Eastern Medicine, the mind-body connection is a key concept to have a healthy life. Having good mental health will give a good physical health.
NLP can be described as having 'the user's manual of your brain'. It is a set of techniques and tools to help you achieve the best results for your life, relationships and career.
This can be added in your therapy when needed. It is also possible to dedicate specific sessions for coaching to achieve the life that you deserve.
Armiche Barreno
Therapist
Hi, I'm Armiche Barreno, a dedicated practitioner of Japanese Integrated Medicine.
My journey began with my deep commitment to Bujinkan Budo Taijutsu, a martial art I have practiced since 2000. This discipline encompasses the ancient medicinal art of Amatsu Tatara, taught by the grand master Hatsumi Sensei. Over the years, my training sessions included glimpses into these healing techniques, sparking a profound respect for the holistic approach to health and wellness inherent in Amatsu Tatara.
Under the guidance of Chris Roworth, a direct student of Hatsumi Sensei, I have gained a comprehensive understanding of how to harmonize the body’s energies and promote natural healing.
Certified in Japanese Integrated Medicine since September 2021, I am committed to providing personalized care that addresses the root causes of illness, fostering long-term health and wellness. When you come for a treatment, you can expect:
