Acupuncture
Acupuncture is the insertion of single-use, very thin, sterile needles into points on the body. It works by improving circulation & blood flow in the body. It works to promote the body's natural healing ability to perform at its best. It is commonly used for the treatment of pain, but is excellent at treating a variety of ailments ranging from painful periods & irregular cycles to the common cold & allergies.
Cupping
Cupping is used in the treatment of acute injury & chronic pain. It works on the fascia & muscles to release adhesion to promote healing. The cups are applied to the body with suction in areas of pain and discomfort or over acupuncture points. The tension created by the suction allows a form of fascial and muscle release and activates acupuncture points to encourage healing.
Myofascial Release
Myofascial release is a hands on technique often used in body work. It is used to release the fascia and muscles from tension. It is often used in acute and chronic pain. It is used to release tension and relieve pain for improved mobility and a better quality of life.
Meridian Based Biofeedback
This approach is based upon physics rather than chemistry.
Physics recognizes that everything is vibrating. Each substance/cell/plant/person is made up of unique frequencies of vibration based upon its' molecular structure, much like an energetic fingerprint. Every substance is uniquely different in it’s vibration just as it is uniquely different in it’s molecular makeup.
Using the basis of Chinese Meridian theory, kinesiology, NAET, Bio-Set and Qest-4 systems of bio-feedback we are able to quickly and painlessly find and treat areas of imbalance which may be the culprit in food and environmental sensitivities, rashes, poor sleep, fatigue, sluggish metabolism and hormone imbalances.
