Cupping Therapy
Suction Healing
Cupping therapy uses a cup to suction an area of skin to decompress muscle and connective tissue, promoting blood flow to the area. This can aid in circulation, pain relief and help the body's own natural healing process.
Massage Therapy
Body Therapy
Massage Therapy is the manipulation of muscle and tissue using primarily your hands. Massage Therapy can be used for a variety of different treatments, such as the alleviation of stress, healing injured tissue, relaxation and many others. Massage Therapy has many benefits including: improving joint mobility, increasing circulation, reducing muscular tension and decreasing pain and discomfort.
Acupuncture
Needle Therapy
Acupuncture and Traditional Chinese Medicine are used as safe, non-invasive, effective treatments for many medical conditions.
The basis of Traditional Chinese Medicine is one of balance. When there is balance, everything functions in harmony, both in the world and in our bodies. Acupuncture stimulates points in your body using hair-thin needles to release blocked energy, know in Traditional Chinese Medicine as Qi. As energy releases endorphins and other feel good hormones are released in the body aiding in many health and wellness concerns such as pain relief, improving mood as well as increased alertness and memory
Cosmic Acupuncture
Needle Therapy
Cosmetic acupuncture uses extra thin silicon-coated needles to stimulate motor muscles in the face to increase blood flow and energy. This practice nourishes the muscles and skin improving circulation allowing your body to deliver nutrients and oxygen to the skin cells. Cosmetic acupuncture can help the complexion and improve the skins natural glow. This practice can also improve elasticity, minimize fine lines, wrinkles, scarring and other signs of aging
