Spine & Pelvis Correction

A long flight, a full day on your feet, and the same spot for years.

Chuna is a manual therapy in which the doctor adjusts the position of joints and muscles by hand.

In Korea it is a recognised medical procedure covered by national health insurance, and may only be performed by a licensed Korean medicine doctor.

【Recommended if you】

While travelling — have a stiff neck and shoulders after a long flight / have been walking 20,000 steps a day and feel it in your hips and lower back /

have been pulling a suitcase on one side and notice uneven shoulders

Ongoing — sit at a desk and carry your head forward / feel your knees first when going down stairs /

get pain on the outside of the knee or the inner ankle after running

【What happens】

1. Postural and movement assessment (10 min) — standing posture, left-right balance, range of motion.

We find which movement hurts: standing from a chair, going down stairs, standing on one leg.

2. Chuna treatment (20 min) — manual adjustment of the areas identified: neck and upper back, or pelvis and lower back

3. Finishing (10 min) — acupuncture, heat therapy or taping, whichever suits your condition.

【What it feels like】

Depending on the area, you may hear a popping sound from a joint. This comes from a release of pressure within the joint —

it is not bone striking bone. The technique is not forceful, and you can ask us to ease off at any point.

Afterwards — you may feel something like mild muscle soreness the next day; it usually settles within a day or two. You can walk out immediately.

【How many visits】

A single session usually eases the stiffness that day. If the pattern has been there a long time, we recommend

two to three sessions, three to seven days apart. If you are travelling, tell us how many days you have and we will prioritise getting you through your schedule.

【To take home】

Stretches matched to your specific problem, plus guidance on walking and footwear, as an illustrated handout.

Not suitable if — you have osteoporosis, a recent fracture, a history of spinal surgery, or acute inflammation. Please tell us at reception.

【First visit】

If this is your first visit, you begin with the Pulse Diagnosis & Constitution Assessment (99,000 KRW). What we do, and where, is decided from those results. There is no separate consultation fee.
