ACUPUNCTURE
It is one of the oldest healing techniques used on the planet. His homeland is China. In recent decades it has been established as an integrated treatment system in many developed countries of the western world. Traditional Chinese Acupuncture is based on the theory of energy flowing through the body. According to Chinese philosophy, when our body is healthy, energy (qi) circulates smoothly in the body through a series of channels known as "meridians". When there is a blockage in its flow, due to an external harmful factor, an illness, a physical or emotional disorder, the flow of energy (qi) is disrupted and as a result health is shaken.
The insertion of needles at specific acupuncture points helps to unblock and therefore restore the natural flow of energy throughout the body, thus stimulating the body's self-healing process. The consequence of this irritation is the release from the body of certain endogenous substances with analgesic and antidepressant action, such as endogenous opioids, enkephalins, endorphins, etc. Specific vasoactive peptides are also released that cause a local increase in blood circulation to the areas where the needles are inserted.
Acupuncture has no side effects and is considered extremely safe. There are many different Acupuncture techniques that are selected depending on the occasion: Electroacupuncture, Otoacupuncture (acupuncture in parts of the earlobe), Cranioacupuncture etc.
The World Health Organization recognizes Acupuncture as a method of treatment for a wide range of medical disorders, such as:
-
Psycho-emotional and neurological disorders: Anxiety, Insomnia, Depression, Headaches, Disorders of memory, concentration and behavior, Paralysis after a stroke, etc.
-
Musculoskeletal disorders: Neck pain, Headaches, Rachialgia, Back pain, Sciatica, Arthritis - Periarthritis (tendonitis) of the upper and lower extremity joints, Carpal tunnel syndrome, etc.
-
Skin diseases: Acne, Psoriasis, Eczema, Urticaria.
-
Gynecological disorders: Dysmenorrhea, Infertility, Menopause, etc.
-
Gastrointestinal disorders: Indigestion, Constipation, Diarrhea, etc.
-
Respiratory disorders: Colds, Cough, Bronchitis, Asthma, Allergies, etc.
-
Otolaryngological disorders: Sinusitis, Laryngitis, Otitis, etc.
The needles used are disposable, specially packaged and sterile, they are also extremely thin and do not cause pain as they penetrate the skin.
A session lasts about 30-45 minutes, except for the first session in which extra time is needed to obtain the interested person's history. The history takes all the useful information so that the therapist can determine the treatment regimen to follow.
After Acupuncture the patient can continue his activity without any problem (to drive, to work).

HOMEOPATHY
Homeopathy centrally regulates human health and strengthens the mechanisms of internal recovery and healing, which work in every body, but which until then were insufficient, with the result that the disease is prolonged and worsens. It strengthens the defense mechanisms, but also makes them adequate and able to stop the prolongation of the disease and bring about a cure. Homeopathy is based on specific natural laws and principles. The Law of the Like is one of the basic Laws of Homeopathy. Hippocrates was the first to formulate it as "like-minded".

ΜΟXΑ
The Moxa treatment essentially concerns the placement of burning Absinthe (Artemisia Vulgaris) on various areas of the body and on acupuncture points.
It is an integral part of P.K.I. in clinical application from antiquity to the present day. It works in conjunction with acupuncture or other traditional methods or as an autonomous treatment method.
Moxa treatment mainly concerns all those conditions where there is the presence of the harmful factor Cold, either in acidity or in chronicity, and for all the conditions of Yang insufficiency, ie the conditions where we want to stimulate the body's fire.
Through the burning process of Absithia, intense hyperemia is created in the area, the pores are opened and the heat together with the smoke penetrates deep into the tissues, warming them and expelling the Cold or moving the Cold - Moisture.
The power of smoke, in general, is strongly penetrating, and much more than hot smoke. In addition, the intensely motor healing properties of Absinthe move and eliminate the Cold and the Cold accompanied by Moisture.
Basic pathologies for which treatment with Moxa is indicated:
-
Common cold.
-
Frozen shoulder.
-
Muscle aches due to cold invasion.
-
Low back pain (lumbar) or low back pain from cold invasion.
-
Diarrhea from the invasion of Cold or Cold Moisture in the intestines.
-
Abdominal pains from Cold invasion in the intestines.
-
Indigestion from staying Cold or Cold Moisture in the digestive organs.
-
Dysmenorrhea or amenorrhea from staying Cold or Cold Moisture in the Uterus.
-
Infertility from staying cold in the lumbar or urogenital area.
-
Insufficient libido and inability to get an erection due to cold.
-
Frozen limbs.
-
Low Immune System.
Contraindications - Precautions for treatment with Moxa:
-
Fever.
-
Hypertension.
-
Inflammatory skin diseases.
-
Areas with recent sores or burns, active skin rashes, eczema, inflammation.
-
Areas with recent injuries, acute muscle fractures, inflammation of joints, tendons or muscles, especially in the acute phase, sprains.
-
In people with unregulated or non-cardiovascular problems.
-
Acute or chronic infectious diseases.
-
In people under the influence of alcohol and drugs or drugs that affect consciousness.

KINESIOLOGY
Kinesiology is the scientific study of human movement. Kinesiology is shaped by physiological, mechanical and psychological mechanisms. The science of kinesiology is mainly based on the synthesis of three scientific disciplines, Anatomy, Engineering and Physiology. The anatomical side of kinesiology consists in the study and recording of the anatomical elements of the skeletal, muscular and nervous system. These three systems are researched in terms of their function on a biological (cellular) scale but also on a functional scale (muscles, joints, bones) and the aforementioned anatomical and physiological elements are examined with special attention to the role of gravity in body movement and posture. .
Typically practicing kinesiology requires a good knowledge of the following areas:
1. Basic principles of Newtonian engineering (Newton's laws, definitions of gravity, center of gravity, equilibrium, levers, torques, etc.)
2. Levels and axes of motion - descriptions of positions and movements.
3. Anatomy and physiology of the excitatory system. 4. Anatomy and physiology of the muscular system.
5. Anatomy and physiology of the nervous system. 6. Localized anatomical and kinesiological analysis of body areas such as the shoulder girdle, elbow, extremities of the hand, spine, pelvis, knee, etc.
7. Gait analysis.
Applications of kinesiology in the human body include: biomechanics , orthopedics , rehabilitation such as physiotherapy and occupational therapy , as well as exercise and sports.

COSMETIC ACUPUNCTURE
This is a great place to tell people

CUPPING THERAPY
The application of a cupping therapy, heated or not, causes local suction of the skin through the negative pressure (vacuum air) exerted inside the suction cup. This results in a strong induction of hyperemia (increased blood flow) and this in turn causes:
-
Increase the temperature in the application area.
-
Increased tissue oxygenation.
-
Increase enzyme activity and increase metabolism.
-
Increase the speed of nerve impulses.
The local increase in temperature contributes to the removal of metabolic factors, such as CO2, adrenaline, nor adrenaline and lactic acid. These metabolic derivatives increase muscle spasm and their removal by speeding up blood circulation helps reduce pain and muscle spasm.

GUA SHA
Gua means scraping or rubbing and Sha indicates the reddish color of the skin. It is essentially a condition that describes blood in the subcutaneous tissue, which appears with small red lumps during treatment with Gua Sha.
The history of the use of Gua Sha is traced back in time to China. In its first form it was applied with copper coins and later with porcelain spoons. Today it is applied mainly with tools made of buffalo horn or jade.
It is used in all these cases where we want to facilitate the flow of the Meridians, to activate the blood circulation, to disperse the excess and the stop of energy and blood from the body.
The main indication of the treatment concerns the Pain, the Heat and the Limnasi - Stasis. It is also applied as a preventive method to strengthen the body.
It is effective for many types of disorders in the body and especially for:
-
Common cold.
-
Headache.
-
Neck stiffness.
-
Back and chest pains.
-
Lumbar pains.
-
Sciatica.
-
Gastrointestinal disorders.
-
Dysmenorrhea.
-
Musculoskeletal contractions.

MANUAL THERAPY
Manual Therapy or chiropractic is a physical therapy used primarily by physiotherapists to treat musculoskeletal pain and disability. It is also used by osteopaths, doctors, massage therapists and athletes. It mainly involves kneading and manipulating muscles, mobilizing and manipulating joints throughout the body. Application of manual force with precision determined and directed to the body, in order to improve mobility in areas that are limited (in joints, connective tissues or skeletal muscles). There are many different styles of manual therapy. Osteopathy, Chiropractic, Physiotherapy, Acupressure, Bone setting, Joint manipulation, Joint mobilization, Spinal manipulation, Spinal mobilization, Massage therapy, Muscle energy techniques, Myofascial release (MFR), Myotherapy, Seitai, Shiatsu, Thai, Kotsuban Yumeiho, Sotai, Structural Integration, Traction, Tui na.
