A new business in town is opening its doors for a unique approach to healing the body.

Spirit Winds Therapy located in the historic Soda Water Works building on Nipomo Street, uses a more holistic approach to physical therapy.

“We like to use the piano analogy for our business,” said Michele Jang, Spirit Winds owner. “Traditional physical therapy would have you focus on the pianist, giving the pianist lessons on how to play the piano, but if the piano is broken then no matter how much the pianist practices she will not sound better.

“We look at the whole situation, and work on tuning the piano as well as giving the lessons”.

Spirit Winds works with all types of people with different ailments, from 70 –year-old mad with an achy back to a child with Attention Deficit Disorder or Tourett’es Syndrome.

They use several techniques to get blood pulsing though all areas of the body and to reposition bones and other body structures, creating a better space for body parts to function right.

Jang graduated from Long Beach State with her degree in physical therapy in 1994. Since then she’s worked for a hospital and traveling therapy service, and taught physical therapy internationally.

The therapy business will be celebrating its grand opening Jan. 29 from 6:30 to 8 p.m. Jang will present her views on physical therapy at the open house. Refreshments will be served. For more info, call 543-5100.
