Shonishin Acupuncture for Children
A Unique Treatment for Children
Shonishin is a unique and specialised form of acupuncture that was developed 250 years ago in Japan to treat babies and children. Derived from Traditional Chinese Medicine, Shonishin recognises the fact that children do not like to be needled and cannot be considered as miniature adults. Hence, this therapy includes a variety of specialised instruments that can be pressed, rubbed, tapped or scraped on the skin of a child to give different kinds of gentle stimulation.
