Holistic Treatments


Acupuncture and Acupressure
Acupuncture uses very fine needles to stimulate points on the body that promote healing.  Acupressure is similar but does not use needles. Both can be used to relieve pain, reduce stress, improve circulation and relieve fatigue.  Most importantly, acupuncture treatments feel great!
 
Because acupuncture effects the body on so many different levels, it can be used for a wide variety of issues.  The World Health Organization recognizes acupuncture as an effective mode of treatment for chronic and acute pain. It is very effective for those suffering from injuries, headaches, neck and back pain, tendonitis, sciatica, carpal tunnel syndrome, and fibromyalgia.

Energy Psychology
An integrated mind body approach to emotional well-being. Energy Psychology is based on the principles of ancient Chinese medicine and the concept that energy flows within the human body along pathways or meridians. Disconnections along these meridians result in emotional and physical issues can be remedied via a non-invasive stimulation to the energy points, or gently tapping on the points.
 
Within energy psychology the following principle is found: everything in the universe is now understood to be made out of energy, including our thoughts. In our perception objects appear physical and solid, yet in reality it is all energy, thus, we are absorbing and sending energy at the same time and interacting within a sea of energy. Using this premise, energy psychology is based on an understanding of how individuals can heal themselves by increasing the flow of energy within their body and shifting to thoughts that build and attract positive energy.

Innovative Martial Arts in Your Community!

Insight offers TKD Fun Fusion, a therapeutic movement program for ages 6 - 16. TKD Fun Fusion is an affordable, unique program designed to develop self control, concentration and confidence for children and teens with behavioral or learning difficulties.

Benefits of Tae Kwon Do & Martial Arts

  1. Has appeal of an individual activity rather than team sport. Each person working at his own level in a class of mixed ages & ability levels decreases competitiveness & the intimidation factor. Goals in the form of belts are clearly visible.
  2. Much repetition of the same basic movements as virtually all belt levels are practicing & gradually refining those same movements over & over with an emphasis on developing chi & core strength.
  3. Kinesthetic awareness & body control are enhanced via development of proprioceptor awareness. The emphasis on repetition & resulting refinement of those joint movements is the basis for physical & subsequent mental control and alas, the Zen meditative experience.
  4. Impulse control & a sense of calm is further enhanced by a rich philosophy encompassing the eastern values of:
    1. Empty (calm, peaceful) mind
    2. Patience/self-control/anger management
    3. Humility & respect for others
    4. Goal setting, perseverance and diligence
    5. Cooperative learning & helping one’s peers
  5. Mind/Body/Spirit Balance is apparent in increased grounded ness (bare feet), core strength, body control, stamina & muscle strength (break boards) & subsequent increased confidence>

Martial Arts are many things to many people

  1. Complete upper and lower body exercise (aerobic and anaerobic) building muscle strength, flexibility and cardiovascular endurance.
  2. An art, a philosophy & a way of life.
  3. Either non-competitive training or a competitive sport and potential Olympic sport.
  4. An effective form of self-defense, emphasizing avoidance, evasion & escape tactics.

Tae Kwon Do characteristics

  1. Originated in South Korea & has become the most popular form of martial art in US
  2. Differentiated from other martial arts by these three factors: an Olympic sport is linear & emphasizes high kicking & jumping kicks, does not use weapons.

History & demographics of Martial Arts

  1. Approximately 40 different styles from Eastern countries.
  2. Originated thousands of years ago as a means of self-discipline & exercise.
  3. Progression to the west and subsequent changes.
