Renew yourself with Asian Bodywork!

AOBTA®-Minnesota is the local chapter of the American Organization of Bodywork Therapies of Asia.  Asian Bodywork modalities are holistic, relaxing, and rejuvenating.  They benefit from many centuries of practice, observation, and refinement.

There are many types of Asian bodywork.  Many of the ABT’s (Asian Bodywork Therapists) in Minnesota practice a form of Shiatsu Therapy.  Shiatsu is a Japanese word meaning simply “finger pressure.”  Shiatsu is a form of acupressure that also involves lots of stretching.  The practice of shiatsu is rooted in over 3,000 years of Asian Medicine.  Other forms of Asian Bodywork practiced in Minnesota include Tui Na (a Chinese style of acupressure), Nuad Bo Ran or Thai Yoga Massage, Chi Nei Tsang (Chinese abdominal massage), Korean Hand Therapy, and Qi Gong energy healing.
