Kunihiro's Technique
John Kunihiro has created his own manual therapy technique that developed from his many years of experience practicing, studying, and teaching manual therapy. This technique is a combination of several modalities including Thai massage, Trigger Points, acupressure, shiatsu, PNF, and Hawaiian massage. His physical therapy background provides a sound understanding of body mechanics, and his knowledge of allopathic medicine greatly influences his treatment plan for each client.
His technique is very unique, combining both allopathic and eastern methods of healing in a special way – the Art of Healing.
