    Introductory Group Seminar

    Jin Shin Jyutsu facilitates the body’s profound healing capacity by balancing energy. Jin Shin Jyutsu treatments support the body, mind, and spirit through non-invasive, gentle touch that is administered while the individual is fully clothed. While similar to acupuncture and acupressure, Jin Shin Jyutsu does not use needles, pressure, or rubbing.

    What do sessions include?

    • An initial screening by a physical therapist, as well as a follow up appointment at the end of the program to measure individual progress.
    • Rehabilitation sessions led by Sunflower Wellness Exercise Counselors that are geared towards increasing motivation, promoting behavior and healthy lifestyle change.
    • Education on weight training routines that help prevent lymphedema and increase range of motion.
    • The program includes a free resistance band and 2-3 lb. dumbbells.
