Dongtan posture care studio for right arm and shoulder pain: Mommaeum

Why I visited Mommaeum Therapy in Dongtan

I found Mommaeum Therapy in Dongtan while looking for one-on-one care that checks your body's condition instead of just pressing hard. My fiancé loves exercises that use his arms, so he kept complaining of stiffness everywhere, from neck and shoulders to back and pelvis 💦 We really needed someone who would look at him carefully!

The therapist used to care closely for patients at a nursing hospital, and his level of attention was on another plane. I came out with the deep muscle fatigue all over my body melted away. Here is my honest account of the energy therapy at Mommaeum Therapy! 🌿

Getting to Mommaeum Therapy and parking

Mommaeum Therapy is in Unit 901 on the 9th floor of an office building in Yeongcheon-dong, Dongtan, and you can use the building's underground parking for free. The location was great, so it was really easy to find!

If you come by car, turn right from the parking lot entrance toward the commercial office area and head underground 🚗 From the B1 level opposite the Emart24 convenience store, or from B2, take the Building 102 elevator and it goes straight up to Unit 901 on the 9th floor!

A private, reservation-only space with one male therapist

Mommaeum Therapy is run by a single male therapist and is 100% by reservation, so you never cross paths with other customers. The moment I opened the door, a cozy, clean interior that calms the mind welcomed me! You can focus entirely on yourself! 🫶🏻

I changed into the comfortable clothes they had prepared and moved to the treatment room! 🫧

Step 1, body analysis: the trigger point of my right arm pain was the pectoralis minor

The session at Mommaeum Therapy starts with a body analysis, where you talk with the therapist about your current condition and uncomfortable spots. I told him my right arm and shoulder often hurt, and after touching them he pinpointed that the pectoralis minor, between the armpit and the ribs, was more knotted than the arm itself! 💡

He explained that the spot with the problem and the spot where you feel pain can differ, and watching him find the real starting point of the pain, the trigger point, I could feel the expert vibes! 💚

Step 2, energy therapy: heat rising from the inside

The energy therapy at Mommaeum Therapy uses a round device to warm the body deep inside. It was like heating food from the inside out in a microwave: not just hot on the surface, but warmth slowly rising from deep within. So fascinating! ♨️

Microcurrent through the therapist's hands

A conductive pad is placed under the belly and electricity runs through it, and while he released the fascia of my back and scalp, a cool microcurrent came through his hands! 👀 When he worked on the trapezius and shoulder area, the sore spots twitched with a tingle and I could definitely feel the stimulation!

He explained that people with poor nervous system function or badly dulled sensation sometimes feel nothing, and that the places that do respond are the ones to focus on and relax more! 💚

Step 3, upper body hands-on care: tailored pressure, never forced

The upper body hands-on care at Mommaeum Therapy begins after the energy therapy has warmed and loosened the deep muscles and fascia. He never presses hard just for the sake of it; he slowly and carefully released the tension that had hardened around my spine over a long time! 👐

I could feel that he understands the state of a worn-out body better than anyone and gently relaxes it with pressure tailored to you!

Step 4, lower body hands-on care: from pelvis to toes

The last part of the session at Mommaeum Therapy is hands-on care for the pelvis and lower body line. After the upper body, he carefully continued through the pelvis and lower body!

Every time his hands passed over muscles that had been worn out by my usual pelvic imbalance, my body felt light enough to float away! The stimulation was never excessive, so after the session I was left with only a fresh feeling, as if blocked circulation had opened right up! 🌱
