Acupuncture
One of the main components of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), this ancient practice of inserting fine needles on specific points on the body to improve the flow of energy (Qi) and blood is used to treat a wide range of issues. Acupuncture is an increasingly popular form of treatment due to its relaxing nature and its lack of negative side effects.
Shiatsu
Shiatsu is Japanese for “finger pressure”; it is a noninvasive form of bodywork that uses sustained pressure on key points on the body to stimulate the body’s inherent ability to heal itself. Similar to acupuncture, but without needles, the therapist uses her thumbs, palms, elbow and knees along with stretches and other techniques to release tension and blockages in the body.
Tuina
Tuina, which translates as “push and grasp”, is Chinese massage. It is a branch of Traditional Chinese Medicine along with acupuncture, herbs and Qigong, and is a very popular form health care in China. The therapist uses her fingers/thumbs, hands, forearms and knees to employ rhythmic and dynamic techniques to treat the muscles, meridians and energy of the body.
Cupping
Cupping is a technique that uses glass domes with suction to relieve tension and congestion in the body. Heat is used to create the suction that allows the cup to remain in contact with body. The therapist either employs a rhythmic technique, removing and reapplying the cups in relatively quick succession, or uses oils on the client’s skin to allow the cups to glide.
Moxabustion
Moxabustion, or Moxa, is an ancient therapy used in Traditional Chinese Medicine. The therapist uses an herb called mugwort (Artemisia Vulgaris) to warm key areas or acupoints on the body. This warmth improves circulation and stimulates the body’s healing response. Mugwort is available in a few different forms and is burned on the skin through a barrier or near acupoints to increase the flow of blood and Qi.
