方法The approach

Nothing is treated until you both know where the problem is.

Every session follows the same three steps, in the same order. The first visit takes an hour, so there is time for all of them.

Fine acupuncture needles at the inner wrist, connected by clips to an electro-acupuncture device
Electro-acupuncture: a mild current through fine needles reaches the muscle directly.
  1. 一 Palpation and movement assessmentShingo watches how you move, then searches layer by layer with his hands for the tissue that is actually involved.
  2. 二 A shared understandingYou see where the problem sits and how deep it is. Together you choose the approach: hands only, or hands plus acupuncture.
  3. 三 Precise, individual treatmentTargeted manual therapy and fascia-focused acupuncture, adjusted during the session to how your body responds.
施術Treatments

Two tools, used with precision.

Acupuncture is not used in every session. It is chosen when it is the most direct way to reach the tissue that needs work.

Manual therapy

Targeted hands-on work on deep muscle and fascia to release restrictions and restore glide.

Fascia-focused acupuncture

Fine needles placed at the exact layer of fascia involved, combined with manual therapy in the same session.

Movement assessment

How you bend, reach and load shows where the body compensates. This guides treatment and what you do at home.

Precision session

For deep or complex problems: ultrasound imaging shows nerves and vessels so needles can be placed safely, to the millimetre.

Before your first visit

Does acupuncture hurt?

The needles are very fine. Most people feel a dull pressure or a brief ache when the needle reaches the tight tissue. You can always choose manual therapy only.

Is this medical care?

No. This is complementary care and does not replace your GP or a medical diagnosis. If something needs medical attention, Shingo will tell you.

What should I wear?

Comfortable clothes you can move in. Shorts or loose trousers make the movement assessment easier.

Is treatment covered by insurance?

No. Treatments are not covered by health insurance.

Which languages does Shingo speak?

English and Japanese. Shingo does not speak Dutch, so sessions are in English or Japanese.

経歴About Shingo

A pain detective, trained in Japan.

Shingo spent more than 20 years treating chronic pain and sports injuries in Japan. He has worked as a medical volunteer after the Great East Japan Earthquake, as an acupuncturist on cruise ships, and on the medical team at karate tournaments.

As an outdoor guide, athlete and percussionist, he learned what a body under load needs. He compares his work to tuning an instrument or oiling a bicycle chain: small, careful adjustments that let things move freely again.
