Soseitai Muscle balance
Sõseitai is a therapeutic method of body balancing and gentle manipulation techniques used to correct body posture by releasing and relaxing muscles. Since muscles are involved in the movement of skeletal bone, it follows that muscle tension can play a role in the correct position of these bones in the body.. This has a follow on effect since these muscles can then also trap nerves and generally warp the whole posture if the condition is left unattended. By assessing your posture we can determine where your imbalances are, then work out which muscles need to be released and which ones strengthened to correct those imbalances.
Benefits include
- Improved posture
- Eliminate pain
- Relax muscles
- Improve mobility
- Stimulates good muscle/ nervous system function
- Aids in the elimination of toxins

Testimonials
Here’s a few words my clients have to say.
My first visit to Sean at Acupoint Med was in 2004 for a Neck and dizziness concern that I couldn’t get rid of with any other therapy. I hadn’t tried acupuncture or Sõseitai muscle release before and wasn’t sure what to expect. I came out feeling relief for this complaint that I hadn’t felt in over a year. Since then I have chosen Sean as my first point of contact for medical ailments ranging from Colds and Flu; menstrual cycle; stomach complaints and any back and neck strain. I regularly recommend Sean for his knowledge and professional approach.
Kate Barker.Auckland.
"I have visited Sean several times in the last four to five months for a variety of problems. I was recommended by my sister to go and see him as the physiotherapist, chiropractor and osteopath had been unable to solve the problem I was having with my neck. After spending an hour and half with Sean in a very in depth consultation, he proceeded to take care of my problem. To my delight, he did just that and the persistent lump that sat at the top of my spine at the back of my head had disappeared. Of course this lead to many more appointments to deal with other issues such as period pain, anxiety, sciatica, stress and fatigue, just to name a few. A lot of these problems are what most working mums suffer from at some stage but never do anything about it because “ it is part of life “. Sean used a variety of healing procedures – acupuncture, suction cups, herbal medicine and manipulation-every dilemma has a cure. I highly recommend you do do something about it because believe me when the symptoms are gone you realize you made the right choice in looking after you. I find Sean very professional and Knowledgeable and someone who understands where you are coming from. I have not had to visit Sean in the last four weeks and I am still feeling great so thanks Sean, you are highly recommended."

"I had been seeking relief for 2 years for my severe and frequent headaches and neck pain and a severe ongoing irritable bowel problem which I’m on 3 medications and I didn’t expect Sean or anyone to be able to improve.
I’d tried other treatment options like GP, chiropractor, physios, massage therapist and muscular skeletal physician with very little result.
Even though I have not finished my acupuncture and muscle release treatments I am feeling much improved, my headaches have largely gone and I have gone from taking digesic 4 hourly every day to none. With fewer to no painkillers in my system my general health has improved. I am sleeping better, my skin is better, I look and feel less tired. I’m coping better with my job and have energy left over for my personal life. My irritable bowel has become significantly more settled and as a result I have much less pain and discomfort and a lot more energy. The constant pain from the headaches and fatigue from the problems with my stomach had ground me down over time. With those problems on retreat I feel relieved.
Sean is the most effective and cost effective practitioner that I have encountered during the last 2 years. He is compassionate, gentle, and kind, he listens carefully and never fails to review how I have been since my last visit and then tailors his treatment accordingly. I have gained tremendously from the holistic approach he has taken towards my health and well-being. I have also gained some insight into the mysterious workings of my digestive system in particular.
I have recommended Sean to others as I trust him and know that his treatments work."
Jo Rankine
"I was looking for an alternative to osteopathy and a practitioner who could treat my 'whole body system' when I discovered Sean’s advertisement and decided to give him a try.
I’ve found that regular visits to Sean have certainly increased my capacity to cope with stress and his treatments have been most relaxing when I have a problem. I always feel that he is addressing the cause and not just the symptoms with his treatments.
I have felt relief from tension in my neck, back and shoulders and from intestinal discomfort. I’ve also experienced a lift in mood especially when feeling vulnerable or low.
I would recommend Sean to you as I have to others because I believe he provides an excellent treatment that gives results. He gives an honest evaluation of what is required to correct a problem and prescribes the necessary number of treatments rather than insisting on ongoing appointments. And his relaxation treatments are great."

My story
Began with studying Shorinji Kempo in NZ. I went to Japan to further my study. I gained experience through that martial art in the use of “seiho” which is similar to shiatsu. It is used to correct alignment of the body and for injury during training. I was introduced to a technique Soseitai through one of the Shorinji Kempo teachers and studied at the Colloege for Soseitai Trainers for approx 3 years.
Since then I returned to NZ and studied acupuncture, Chinese herbal medicine, Tuina ( Chinese massage) Taiqi and Qi gong to enhance what I do as a therapist
You as the client may receive a combination of treatments, I will combine the treatment methods and may compliment them with additional advice and or exercise diet etc to give you the best result possible.
