Japanese Acupuncture and Shiatsu in Portland
When I moved to Portland from Kauai, I was pleasantly surprised to find such a wide interest in Acupuncture and oriental medicine. There are hundreds of very qualified acupuncturists in Portland. And if you’re interested in Japanese style acupuncture, and related modalities, there are a number of excellent practitioners from which to choose.
Bart Walton, L.Ac. – NW Portland – (503) 939-5805
Bob Quinn, L.Ac. - NE Portland – (503) 313-5355
Dennis Boyles, L.Ac. – SE Portland – (503) 261-1076
Philip Queeley, L.Ac. – SE Portland – (971) 563-7532
Tracy Thorne, L.Ac. – SE Portland – (503) 481-6702
Shiatsu is another Japanese therapy that is not well known in the U.S. But in Portland, we are fortunate to have several excellent practitioners. Here are a few of the shiatsu practitioners that I am aware of thus far.
Akira Imai, LMT – SE Portland – (503) 233-2236
Bart Walton, L.Ac. – NW Portland – (503) 939-5805
Jennifer Steele, L.Ac. – N Portland – (503) 957-5478
Tina Rea, LMT – SW Portland – (503) 913-2756
Xavier Preciado, LMT – NW Portland – (503) 224-7224
In particular, I’ve had shiatsu treatments from Jennifer Steele and Akira Imai and they are both excellent. If you are interested in acupuncture and shiatsu combined in the same treatment, as commonly practiced in Japan, I am the only practitioner I know who is doing that. But maybe we will get some comments about others. If I find out who is doing that in Portland, I will include their names and phone numbers in future posts.
