Relieve pain, reduce stress, and quicken rehabilitation with veteran Toronto practitioner Daniel (T’agyol) Adler.

Herbal Medicine + Zen Shiatsu + Acupuncture

Welcome to Daniel Adler Clinic

I offer my services as an experienced and certified practitioner of traditional East Asian medicine (TEAM) based in Toronto, Ontario.

In my practice I work with individuals seeking alternative medicine options to facilitate self-healing and to overcome illness and disease.

As a TEAM practitioner I use herbal remedies and the techniques of Zen Shiatsu bodywork and acupuncture to help you restore balance and harmony to your body and mind.

I am here when you’re ready. Please don’t hesitate to get in touch.

Your Treatment Options

The traditional East Asian medicine treatments I offer have been used for centuries. Like all forms of medicine, TEAM is constantly evolving, developing, and improving.

  • Kampo Herbal Medicine

    Kampo herbal medicine is a traditional Japanese system that uses natural plant-based remedies to promote health, support specific health concerns, and maintain overall well-being.
  • Zen Shiatsu Bodywork

    Zen Shiatsu massage uses finger, hand, elbow, foot, and knee pressure to improve energy flow and bring balance to the body. It can reduce stress, assist with rehab, and promote wellness.
  • Acupuncture + Zen Shiatsu

    Whether you are seeking relief from acute or chronic pain or wish to relax and unwind, acupuncture combined with Zen Shiatsu can be an effective and enjoyable complement to your self-care routine.

  • Is acupuncture always combined with bodywork?

    Yes. At Daniel Adler Clinic I always combine acupuncture with Zen Shiatsu bodywork for a more holistic and beneficial experience.

    The bodywork I administer facilitates the healing process, giving you a more comprehensive treatment during your session.

  • What are acupuncture needles like?

    Acupuncture needles are very thin, and rarely cause any discomfort. The needles used at Daniel Adler Clinic are made of stainless steel, and are single-use/disposable.

  • Can herbal medicine be taken when following vegetarian, vegan, and other specialised diets?

    Yes! All of your dietary needs will be discussed and considered during our assessment, however these herbs are safe for all dietary restrictions.

  • Where can I park during my treatment?

    There is street parking along Dupont St, as well as on Shaw St (perpendicular to Dupont) and also Melville Ave (just south of Dupont).

    You can find a map on the Clinic Location page.

  • How many Zen Shiatsu sessions do I need?

    It all depends on you. I often get good results after one session, however, it usually takes a series of three to see a strong shift in condition.

    It is important to remember though that as some conditions take a long time to develop, equally so it can take a corresponding amount of time to undo.

    I have some clients that have been seeing me for years to maintain their zone level and enjoy a full quality of life, no matter their age or ailments.

  • Which public transit stations are near the clinic?

    The closest subway stations are Dupont, Christie, and Ossington.

    It is a 10-15 minute walk from each of these stations to the clinic, and there are frequent buses you can catch.
