Acupuncture & massage in Eindhoven

Sometimes a doctor or specialist is unable to treat your complaint. It is good to know that an acupuncturist adopts a different approach.

Flow of energy

It’s essential to have a good flow of energy through the body, with the energy ideally moving in a constant steady flow. This energy flow is sometimes disrupted and may result in complaints.

Chinese medicine for body and mind

Chinese medicine is a complete supportive system based on the relationship between body, mind and external factors. It allows good support of both physical and emotional complaints. Acupuncture: another approach to well-being. It’s looking for the root cause of the problem.

Taoistic visceral / internal organ massage

This massage technique is effective on undefinable complaints of the belly, stomach and intestines, but can also be used when suffering from chronic diseases like Crohn’s. Tension, cramps and bloated feelings diminish.

Knots in the abdomen can cause pain. Most of the internal organs are muscular (small intestine, large intestine, bladder, gall bladder, heart, spleen, stomach, uterus). These muscular viscera can become tensed, just like shoulders can become tensed. Tensed organs can cause abdominal pain, but can also lead to back pain, hip/leg pain and migraines; in fact pain anywhere.

Non-muscular organs (kidneys, liver, lungs, pancreas) can become hardened and glued to the respiratory diaphragm, ribs, hip joint or spine. Releasing the adhesions allows the diaphragm to move more easily. Breathing deepens and health may also improve.

Reimbursement

Praktijk Eindhoven is the practice of Sas Odenthal, certified acupuncturist. Most healthcare insurance companies reimburse the costs of acupuncture treatment because Sas Odenthal is a member of Zhong, the Dutch Association of Traditional Chinese Medicine. So treatment might be covered by your healthcare insurer; the amount of the reimbursement depends on your insurance policy.

My story

In 1991 I suffered a whiplash injury. Various treatments did not succeed in curing it. The neurologist said I would just have to learn to live with it. That’s what I did. I completed my HEAO, got a nice job and had two children, but was in almost continuous pain. In 2000, I looked for help again and started treatment with an acupuncturist. Within four months I was completely cured.

For nine years I suffered daily pain until I discovered that a method had existed for thousands of years that could relieve my pain. Acupuncture should be much better known, I thought. Many people could benefit from it. That’s how I started learning about Chinese medicine. The more I read, the more enthusiastic I became. What possibilities!

In 2002, I decided to follow a 4 year HBO (Higher Professional Training) course in Traditional Chinese Medicine. Since then, I have kept up to date by studying a variety of massage, acupuncture, nutrition and yoga techniques.
