I am immensely grateful for the thoughtful and caring treatments I have received from Jason in weekly sessions for over a year. The acupuncture and bodywork have been essential in supporting my physical and psychic functioning. In addition, Jason’s knowledge of Chinese medicine has solved long term medical issues. The Tuesday morning qi gong class, led by Jason, has been a major blessing in my life. The longevity exercises, plus the cheerful camaraderie, sustained my sanity and bodily well-being during the pandemic. And in past years my treatments and classes were equally supportive. We are extremely fortunate to have this gifted and knowledgeable practitioner in our area. I highly recommend him.

Before going to Jason at The Shen Dao Clinic, I had been having chronic tension headaches for four years. By the time I had my first acupuncture appointment, I had not gone more than two weeks without a headache in the last year. I was taking high doses of prednisone, Percocet, and getting bi-monthly, painful nerve-block injections in my neck and head. They frequently got bad enough for weeks at a time that I couldn’t put in full days at work or go to my daughter’s soccer games. I had my first appt. on April 27th and my second on May 2nd.
It’s now June 27th and I have not had a single tension headache since that second visit; it’s been 8 weeks. I can’t say enough about how this treatment has improved my quality of life. As a biologist by training and years doing biomedical research, I could have been called a skeptic, but this isn’t just an association or due to some other variable I changed when I started getting treatment. The acupuncture treatments are reversing and correcting the underlying cause that turns neck tension from poorly-managed stress into a debilitating headache that lasts for months and this has significantly changed my life for the better.

I am so grateful that Jason Heller brought his acupuncture practice to Harrisonburg. His knowledge and expertise is grounded in years of study and practice. I learned about Shen Da Clinic when my husband had friends refer him to Jason after years of medical treatments and physical therapy failed to provide relief. He went to Jason and we were amazed with his improvement. So after I was sent to the emergency room twice due to pain and mobility issues, I started to go to Jason for acupuncture. My overall health has really improved!
My mobility went from needing a cane and difficulty using stairs to taking classes that are offered by Jason. The combination of acupuncture and classes made it possible for me to adopt 2 rescue pit bulls and enjoy walking and playing with them. The classes are outside near a beautiful tree. The first class I tried was Wang Jiwu 16 Longevity Exercises. It has helped with breathing, focus, and mobility. The next class I added is Bagua Basics.
The class really challenged what I have been practicing in Wang Jiwu plus increasing balance and movement skills. The movements are warm-ups to more advanced martial arts. The third class I added is 8 Treasures which feels like a movement class that helps with breathing and calmness. The last class I recently joined is Gongfu/Taiji. It is beautiful to watch and amazing to try to learn the martial arts behind the beauty. The classes follow the teaching of the North American Tang Shou Tao Association and have a rich history from Chinese Masters.
The classes have really been a valuable part of the incredible improvements in my health and abilities. Please join us! My life is active and full of dog fun and joy!
