Acupuncture and Body Therapy Methods for Pain Relief in Seattle
You Are Meant To Be Healthy, Happy, & Active!
Hi, my name is David Engstrom, and I am a licensed acupuncturist, licensed massage therapist, and nationally certified personal trainer/corrective exercise specialist. I am writing today to let you know how my practice can help you.
The purpose of my practice is to help you discover what natural health is and to help you achieve it.
There is a limit to what convention western medicine can do. Unfortunately, what I call natural health is completely foreign to conventional Western medicine. Pharmaceutical medicine merely treats the symptoms.
I learned this first-hand from a sports injury I sustained as a high school athlete. After seeing two physicians who recommended rest and walking with crutches, I learned about the amazing effects of natural medicine, specifically acupuncture.
What is important to remember is that pharmaceuticals treat symptoms, not causes.
Perhaps your biggest health problems could have been solved with much less effort had appropriate treatment begun earlier. Instead, like putting a Band-Aid over a major cut, things got worse over time.
"Give me 20 minutes, and I’ll give you a simple, natural plan to address the root cause of your body pain. Call to schedule your free-complimentary consultation now! So why wait?"
That’s why getting to the root of the problem with bodywork, corrective/restorative movement, and acupuncture is so critical-it begins to reverse the cause-and-effect process that led to the problem in the first place. If you want to do more than just reduce the symptoms, you’ll need these three natural therapies in your plan for overall health, not just modern pharmaceuticals.
Our work together begins with an initial session. This is a 90-minute appointment where you tell me about what’s ailing you, your concerns, and your needs. I learn about your past and present state of health, and your wellness goals. I examine your pulses, your abdomen, and your tongue, palpate your acupuncture channels and points, and assess your physical structure and movement. From this information, I design a therapy program that helps you meet your goals.
What if I told you that whatever health goals you have are most likely well within your reach? That’s because our work together will change everything about you-from your nervous system radiating outward into full-body health.
It’s truly as easy as 1-2-3!
Personal Assessment-I will work to understand your past and present state of health, family health history, and your health and wellness goals.
East Asian Medical Diagnosis-I will examine your pulses, your abdomen, and your tongue, as well as palpate your acupuncture channels and points in order to discover your individual pattern. I will also evaluate your physical structure, posture, and movement.
Prescribed Therapy-In our work together, I will also record your progress visually with before and after photos at each session, even videos to analyze your stride, balance, and posture.
You will definitely see AND feel the results after each session. And you will know that your natural health is coming into focus.
You will feel better day by day as your pain, extra weight, lack of motivation, and many other bothersome discomforts simply melt away until they are only a distant memory.
I work one on one, exclusively with people who are ready and committed to making their health and well-being their top priority. I put all my energy into helping my clients achieve the highest levels of health imaginable.
Don’t delay becoming the best verson of yourself any longer.

What Is Zen Bodytherapy?
Zen Bodytherapy® is a form of structural integration that releases the natural form of the body from the aberrations caused by physical, chemical, psychological and spiritual traumas. This work is the synthesis of Rolfing (structure), Feldenkrais (movement), and the vital energy of Zen.
The benefits of Zen Bodytherapy include the resolution of pain; improved physical symmetry, posture, and appearance; and freedom from mental and emotional stress.
Zen Bodytherapy is a progressive 10-session series of 1 1/2 hour sessions. Each session has a specific goal. Once the series is completed, the body can continue the processing for 6–12 months. The series can be repeated in full as often as you desire; or a particular session or sessions can be repeated.
What Is Physio-Synthesis Therapy?
Physio-Synthesis is a restorative-corrective movement therapy founded on five principles which optimally align the body; proper weight bearing, narrowing, lengthening, broadening, and head centering. The therapy typically begins with a simple set of foot movement with you lying or sitting on the floor. This is your first step as you begin realigning your body from the ground up. No straps, weights, or other implements are used, only the body itself.
Physio-Synthesis targets, strengthens, lengthens, and balances your weakest muscles to bring about effective lasting change in your body’s alignment. Larger musclegroups that are holding excess tension and robbing you of energy can at last-release. No other corrective movement system I have encountered in my 30-plus years of practice and research can accomplish such a complete physical transformation. This is why I am so excited to be able to offer you sessions in this unparalleled method.
What Is Acupuncture Therapy?
Acupuncture and associated methods, also known as “East Asian Medicine”, date back more than two thousand years. The “Yellow Emperor’s Internal Classic” laid down the foundation of health and disease and the concept of “longevity” and “agelessness”. According to the classic ancient text-your lifestyle is the number one factor you can take responsibility for to offset the effects of aging and disease.
