Cupping: Cupping is a healing technique that has been practiced for thousands of years in many cultures around the world. It works by placing special cups on the skin and creating gentle suction, which lifts the tissues underneath. The cups may be left in place or moved along the body like a massage.

This process helps bring fresh blood and oxygen to the area, improves circulation, releases tension, and supports the body’s natural healing response. Many people find cupping deeply relaxing, with lasting benefits such as reduced muscle tightness, less pain, and improved range of motion.

Traditionally, “fire cupping” uses heat inside glass cups to create suction. Today, cups can also be applied using a simple pump system for the same effect. Both methods are safe, effective, and commonly used alongside acupuncture or massage for enhanced results.

Moxibustion: Moxibustion is a traditional therapy that uses the warmth of the mugwort herb (moxa) to gently heat specific acupuncture points on the body. This soothing heat helps improve circulation, dispel cold and dampness, and encourage the smooth flow of energy (qi) and blood.

Safe and non-invasive, moxibustion can be used on its own but is most often combined with acupuncture to enhance its healing effects. Many patients describe it as deeply comforting, like a gentle warmth that relaxes both body and mind.

Gua Sha: Gua Sha is a traditional Chinese medicine technique that uses a smooth-edged tool—often made of jade or rose quartz—to gently “scrape” the skin in specific areas of the body. This simple yet powerful method promotes circulation, relieves muscle tension, and supports lymphatic drainage.

Commonly applied to the back, neck, shoulders, or face, Gua Sha helps release tightness and restore flow. The treatment may leave temporary redness, called “sha,” which is a natural sign of increased blood flow and typically fades within a few days.

Many patients find Gua Sha both therapeutic and refreshing, with benefits that include reduced pain, improved mobility, and a greater sense of relaxation and well-being.

Electro- Acupuncture: Electro-acupuncture is a modern enhancement of traditional acupuncture. After very fine needles are placed at specific points, a gentle electrical current is applied to them using small clips and a safe, low-frequency device.

This mild stimulation strengthens the effects of acupuncture by increasing circulation, reducing inflammation, relaxing tight muscles, and supporting the body’s natural healing response. Electro-acupuncture is especially effective for pain management, injuries, nerve conditions, and chronic tension.

Most patients find the sensation to be a light tapping or pulsing, and many experience deeper relief and relaxation compared to traditional acupuncture alone.

Dry Needling: Dry needling is a therapeutic technique used to release tight muscle knots, also known as trigger points. A very fine needle is inserted directly into the trigger point, which helps the muscle relax, improves circulation, and supports the body’s natural healing process.

This method is especially effective for reducing muscle spasms, easing pain, and restoring mobility. Dry needling can also be combined with gentle electrical stimulation to enhance results and provide deeper relief.

Unlike traditional acupuncture, which works along energy pathways, dry needling focuses specifically on muscle function and is often used to target localized areas of tension or injury.

AcuMyo Therapy: AcuMyoTherapy is a unique fusion of acupuncture and myofascial therapy, blending ancient wisdom with modern therapeutic techniques. This holistic approach addresses both the body’s physical tension and its energetic blockages, creating a deeper and more complete healing experience.

By combining these two powerful therapies, AcuMyoTherapy helps to:

• Relieve pain and muscle tightness

• Reduce stress and calm the nervous system

• Restore energy and vitality

• Promote deep relaxation and balance

Whether you’re managing chronic pain, recovering from fatigue, or simply seeking a way to recharge, AcuMyoTherapy offers a comprehensive path to restoring your body’s natural harmony.

Tui Na: Tui Na (pronounced twee-nah) means “pushing and grasping” and is a traditional form of Chinese medical bodywork. Like acupuncture, it is rooted in the principles of Traditional Chinese Medicine and focuses on improving the flow of energy (qi) through the body’s meridians.

This hands-on therapy is especially effective for:

• Muscle, tendon, and joint pain

• Structural misalignment

• Sports injuries and orthopedic issues

• Supporting internal health and balance

Through specific massage techniques, Tui Na works to release tension, restore mobility, and encourage the body’s natural healing processes. It can be used on its own or combined with acupuncture for even greater benefits.

Integrative Massage Therapy: Integrative Massage Therapy is a personalized approach that blends techniques to target the deeper layers of muscle and connective tissue. By working with both the body’s surface and deeper structures, this therapy helps relieve chronic tension, reduce discomfort, and restore balance.

It is especially beneficial for those experiencing:

• Chronic pain or stiffness

• Muscle tension from stress or posture

• Recovery from injury or overuse

• Inflammation and restricted mobility

While the work can be firm at times, the goal is always therapeutic relief and long-term healing. Integrative massage not only eases pain but also enhances circulation, supports recovery, and leaves you feeling grounded, relaxed, and renewed.

Hot Stone Therapy: Hot Stone Therapy uses the soothing warmth of smooth, heated stones to melt away tension and support the body’s natural healing process. Often incorporated into other treatments, this therapy helps increase circulation, ease discomfort, and promote deep relaxation.

The gentle heat encourages blood vessels to open, improving the flow of oxygen and nutrients to tissues. This not only speeds recovery but also helps release endorphins—the body’s natural pain relievers. Hot Stone Therapy can be especially beneficial for:

• Arthritis and fibromyalgia

• Muscle spasms and chronic tension

• Athletic recovery and flexibility

• Healing from injury

By loosening tight muscles and joints, hot stone work restores ease of movement and leaves you feeling both relaxed and revitalized.
