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.

  • Are there “take-home” tasks after a Zen Shiatsu treatment?

    Yes. If appropriate I recommend dietary changes, exercise, and breathing practices.

  • How do I pay for my treatment?

    Payment is accepted by Interac e-Transfer, cash, or cheque.

    For e-Transfer, please send your payment to tagyoladler04@gmail.com.

  • Do you use oils or tools during Zen Shiatsu massage?

    Generally, no. I will occasionally apply liniments to acute strains, sparing, and fractures. However my best work comes directly through my hands, elbows, knees, and feet.

  • What happens during my Zen Shiatsu session?

    Every Zen Shiatsu session differs depending on the needs and issues of the client I am working with.

    However, there are common phases that occur, which you can learn about by reading my article, “What to Expect During a Zen Shiatsu Treatment”.

  • Are there any risks associated with acupuncture treatment?

    Soreness and slight bleeding or bruises at the needle insertion points are occasional side effects. However, if you receive acupuncture from a qualified, licensed practitioner who uses sterile needles, the risks of acupuncture are minimal.

  • 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.
