FAQ
Απαντήσεις σχετικά με την μεθοδο Shinka
What is the Shinka method based on?
The method is based on the fundamental principles of Isogay:
- The hip joint has a pivotal and central place in the way it moves, balances and distributes forces throughout the body.
- A partial or slight displacement of a joint from its normal position, leading to curvature of the axis and functional imbalance,
- The body can self-regulate if the root cause is eliminated.
Αλλά αυτό δεν είναι μόνο θεωρία - το Shinka βασίζεται σε βαθιά πρακτική εμπειρία. Με τα χρόνια εργασίας με ανθρώπους, έχουν συσσωρευτεί πολλές περιπτώσεις όπου η θεωρία επιβεβαιώθηκε από μια πραγματική αλλαγή στην κατάσταση - σώμα, στάση, βάδισμα, πόνος.
Η μέθοδος δεν βασίζεται σε αφαιρέσεις - ζει σε κάθε κίνηση, στην αναπνοή, σε έναν λεπτό διάλογο με το σώμα του πελάτη.
What does the Shinka method diagnosis include?
Diagnosis in the Shinka method is a deep "listening" of the body.
It includes:
- Analysis of the body's history (injuries, surgeries, chronic pain),
- Visual and tactile observation of the posture and position of the pelvis,
- Identification of asymmetries, curvatures, gait disorders,
- Observation of how a person moves, breathes, how their feet are positioned, how the weight falls on the bones.
Shinka sees the body as a system that did not come to its current state by chance. Everything has reasons and the goal is to discover them.
The methodology is carried out in three phases:
- Identifying the problem,
- Corection
- Maintaining a new balance and self-help.
To whom is the method suitable for?
Το Shinka είναι κατάλληλο σχεδόν για όλους - ειδικά εκείνους που δεν αναζητούν ένα "μαγικό κουμπί", αλλά πραγματική ευκαιρία να επανασυνδεθούν με το σώμα τους. Αυτή είναι η μέθοδος:
- For those who have tried many ways to solve a related problem without result,
- For those whose pain does not subside despite treatment,
- For those who are ready to work on their own – observe, train, train again.
The method will not produce results without the participation of the person himself. A contraindication may be the lack of internal readiness: when a person cannot or does not want to perceive, when he seeks only passive relief from symptoms.
Το Shinka απαιτεί όχι μόνο προσοχή, αλλά και πνευματική συναίνεση - γι 'αυτό ονομάζεται "σύνδεση καρδιάς".
How many sessions are needed to understand if the method helps?
It depends on the state of the body, if it is in the initial stage, in 1-2 sessions you can feel if this approach works for you. Sometimes relief comes quickly, especially with acute pain. But often the body carries old distortions within itself and is not ready to "let go" of everything at once.
The method is gentle but profound. It addresses hidden imbalances that have built up over the years. Therefore, the first improvements are only the beginning of the process.
Observing his sensations, breathing and mobility, the person himself feels: yes, the body is beginning to return to itself.
Does the method help with the pain?
Ναι, το Shinka είναι αποτελεσματικό για τον πόνο - ειδικά στο κάτω μέρος της πλάτης, στα πόδια, στον αυχένα, στη λεκάνη. Αλλά η προσέγγιση δεν «θεραπεύει τον πόνο» άμεσα – αφαιρεί την αιτία.
By correcting the position of the hip joint, we relieve tension in other areas. In some cases, relief comes immediately, in others it takes time because the body has to adapt to the new position.
The pain may not go away immediately, but it begins to change—it becomes clearer, easier. This is a signal that the body is returning to balance.
How the session is being conducted?
Κατά τη διάρκεια της συνεδρίας χρησιμοποιείται μόνο ότι είναι απαραίτητο: χέρια, σωματικό βάρος, μαλακά μαξιλάρια. Δεν πρόκειται για τεχνική με συσκευές - όλα εδώ βασίζονται στη σωματική ευαισθησία και αλληλεπίδραση.
Pillows are tools that help stretch, guide, or support the body in the desired correction.
Η μέθοδος Shinka παραμένει απλή - χωρίς "μάρκες" και διακοσμήσεις. Το κύριο ζητούμενο είναι το αποτέλεσμα και η προσεκτική στάση απέναντι στο σώμα.
Can Shinka method be used as a standalone self-care system?
Shinka can truly be used as a standalone, living body care system.
It is based on principles that help a person better understand their body, notice where tension begins, how displacement manifests, and what they need to do to support themselves.
It is not a "rigid methodology", but a system open to observation, research and simple actions. It gives you tools:
– be aware of your habits (for example, do you cross your legs),
- να παρατηρήσετε την αναπνοή σας,
- να εκτελείτε συγκεκριμένες διορθωτικές ασκήσεις,
– seek help if needed.
Important: Shinka does not require complete dependence on the therapist. Instead, it aims to ensure that a person can feel, understand, and take care of themselves. This makes it particularly valuable in the long term.
What are the positive results that have been achieved to date?
Shinka method does not seek fame or grand statements. We do not try to prove that we are “the best.”
But what is truly inspiring are the stories of people who begin to become aware of their bodies, feel relief, regain mobility, and, most importantly, find the strength to maintain this state on their own.
Δεν αποδίδουμε θαύματα στον εαυτό μας. Απλώς βοηθάμε να αποκατασταθεί αυτό που υπάρχει ήδη στο σώμα - η ικανότητα αυτοθεραπείας. Και η ευγνωμοσύνη των ανθρώπων που ένιωσαν αυτές τις αλλαγές είναι το πραγματικό μας κίνητρο.
This is the result:
When a person feels connected to themselves and is able to maintain it. And we are only there to help them feel it.
Are sessions with Shinka painful?
Shinka sessions are generally not painful, but they can be sensitive.
Μερικές φορές πρέπει να ασκήσετε πίεση σε σφιγμένους μύες - ειδικά στην περιοχή της πυέλου, του ισχίου ή της βουβωνικής χώρας - και αυτό μπορεί να είναι άβολο.
We also use special stretching pillows, which also give the body new, unusual impulses.
But after these moments, relief almost always comes.
The most difficult thing is not the session, but what follows: a person must change habits.
If he continues to sit like this, cross his legs, or not exercise, the condition may return.
Επομένως, η εργασία γίνεται μεταξύ θεραπευτή και θεραπευόμενου. Δεν είναι μόνο τεχνική - είναι σύνδεση.
So that a person remembers how wise and strong his body is.
How long does a session last?
It includes a free conversation, where I carefully consider your situation, ask questions, and listen.
After this, the session itself takes place, which lasts about an hour.
The duration of each subsequent meeting depends on therapies' benefits on the body
For which conditions is the use of the Shinka method recommended?
The Shinka method aims to restore symmetry and balance to the body, especially the hip joints. This can have a significant impact on a wide range of physical and even emotional conditions.
Ο ιδρυτής της μεθόδου, ισχυρίστηκε ότι όλες οι ασθένειες ξεκινούν με πυελική ανισορροπία και μοιράστηκε την εμπειρία του από τη θεραπεία πολλών πολύπλοκων καταστάσεων - από χρόνιο πόνο έως σοβαρές ασθένειες.
Shinka method is a way to help the body regain support and movement, giving it a chance to deal with symptoms. Sometimes this brings great relief. Sometimes it takes time. And sometimes it complements the work of other specialists.
