Ablon Chirothesia
From the Philippines comes the indigenous healing art of Ablon, which is a traditional form of chirothesia used by Ilocano healers and practitioners of the Philippine martial arts to help restore neurovascular and musculoskeletal imbalances sustained during the course of daily living or training. It is used for various health concerns.
Pekkel
Pekkel is a subcategory of Ablon from which its principles are based. This method is appropriate as a general treatment or for those with certain conditions that require such.
Aglupos Bioelectromagnetic Balancing
Aglupos is a method of bioelectromagnetic or spiritual energetic balancing. Literally translating as "a snake that will shed its skin," Aglupos is a metaphor for the regeneration or procreation of life.
Ablon Seated Therapy
This form of seated therapy is a unique session based on Ablon Chirothesia and the comprehension of bodily movements in the Philippine martial arts. Not only is it beneficial for those who have ailments involving the neck and shoulder joints, it is also ideal for those who are on a tight schedule and wish to squeeze in a session.

TESTIMONIALS
"Virgil Mayor Apostol uses his intuition and a scientifically-proven therapeutic skill-set that gives him the remarkable ability to optimize muscular length, tension, and neuromuscular balance to restore function and minimize pain through the utilization of manual manipulation of extremities and associated musculature.”
—Charles “Chip” Miller, Physical Therapist, specializing in a manual medicine approach. Waynesville, OH
"I wish to commend Virgil Apostol for allowing myself to receive treatments such as I experienced 53 years ago from my Osteopath Physician and surgeon. Until now, I thought I would never be able to get results, such as I have, since then. I highly recommend Mr. Apostol to anyone!”
—Lucille W. San Diego, CA
"Virgil did a demonstration of Ablon on my ankle that had been 'like hamburger' (a doctor delicately told me) for the past six years. I had a horse fall on me when I was a teenager. More feeling and change came to the nerves in my andle in twenty minutes working with Virgil, than six years, or the doctors I've seen."
