Toyohari

Toyohari is a form of Japanese Meridian Therapy. Like Shiatsu it addresses the interplay of body and mind, blood and qi (ki in Japanese), accumulation and deficiency. Instead of using acupressure to move qi through the meridians, Toyohari uses non-insertive needling as well as moxibustion and cupping.

Toyohari treatments are shorter than shiatsu treatments and may be your preferred way to receive ‘top up’ or maintenance treatments. Treatment duration is based on achieving maximum balance which can vary from treatment to treatment by up to half an hour. In Toyohari, longer does not necessarily mean better and less is often more.

Toyohari has many effective techniques for shifting stubborn and acute symptoms while slowly enhancing your constitution. It is particularly beneficial for people who find insertive acupuncture too draining.
