Shiatsu is a Japanese term meaning 'finger pressure'. Jee-aat, tui-na, on-mor, and dit-dar are Chinese terms meaning 'medical finger pressure massage'. Accupressure practioners use the study of energy pathways, known as meridians, to understand the natures of health problems.
The healing principles of accupressure are based closely on acupuncture
Acupucnture's theories and techniques were created by martial art's masters. Through the practices of Chi Gung Meditation, these masters became more aware of the flowing energy in the bod y and mapped the energy flow associated with each of the major organs in the body. This knowledge was passed down and refined through the generations by oral tradition and was developed into a comprehensive medical system.
Master Augustine Fong L.Ac. is pleased to announce that he will be sharing over 30 years of knowledge and experience in the Chinese healing technique known as acupressure.
