Suikido Treatment

Welcome to this page about the synergistic body treatment, rehabilitation, and re-balancing system of Suikido.

The interdisciplinary holistic treatment approach of Suikido combines Oriental healing arts, restorative stretching and mobilization therapy with modern treatment principles, physiotherapy, whole body movement and therapeutic exercise.

We recognize and understand that the body expresses itself through interconnectivity; and that conditions and phenomena are not isolated events – they reflect and mirror the state of the Whole.

Four Essentials

These four principles are complementary and intertwine during a treatment session

Suikido Flow Treatment

Whole body treatment that encourages energy flow, deep circulation, freedom of motion, balance, and interconnectivity throughout the body.

Suikido Deep Tissue Therapy

Specialized tissue therapeutic approach and treatment, that targets specific problematic areas, tensions, injuries, trauma.

Suikido Stretching & Mobilization Therapy

Dynamic stretching, mobilization, and release techniques that stimulate whole body movement, joint functionality, and overall suppleness.

Suikido Exercise & Movement Therapy

Movement therapeutic exercises that promote kinesthetic awareness, neuromuscular communication, plasticity, core stability, cohesiveness, and balance of muscle strength and muscle relaxation.

The Individual Session

We utilize an expansive range of specialized tissue therapeutic techniques, dynamic mobilization therapy, restorative stretching, movement, and exercise to promote balance, flow, and responsiveness throughout the body. This stimulates and assists the innate self-corrective, self-healing capacity of the body.

A body balancing treatment session is performed on the floor lying on a futon mattress; wearing comfortable, loose, and/or stretchable clothes.

The Suikido therapist utilizes his or her feet, hands, elbows, and knees to treat and assist the body.

The duration of a Suikido body treatment and re-balancing session is 60 minutes.

We train and educate small scale groups of selected apprentices in the body treatment and re-balancing system of Suikido.

We accept 4-8 qualified candidates for a 1000 hour Mentorship Training Program at Suikido Dojo in the south of Portugal.

The residential training program takes place over 18 months and is divided into 3 modules; 2 modules of 4 weeks and a final module of 2 weeks.

Upon completion succesful candidates officially become certified Suikido Body Balancing Therapists.

Certified Suikido practitioners are further trained and re-examined once a year to secure high standards, continuous advancement, and refinement of their treatment craft.
