Traditional Chinese Acupuncture
Acupuncture is a Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) practice that involves inserting sterile, single-use, hair-thin needles into specific points on the body to alleviate pain and treat various conditions. Acupuncture isn’t painful and most patients experience deep relaxation due to acupuncture’s ability to stimulate the parasympathetic (“Rest & Digest”) nervous system. Traditionally, acupuncture is said to restore balancing Yin & Yang and by unblocking and restoring the flow the of Qi & Blood. Modern research has shown acupuncture can release neurotransmitters, modulates hormones, stimulates nerves & connective tissues, release muscle tension, improve circulation, and regulate immune function. Simply put, acupuncture relieves pain and helps restore homeostasis.
Myofascial Release Therapy
For pain management and post-surgical rehabilitation. Through restoration of tissue length and decompression of joints. Have your movements felt more restricted or less mobile due to accidents, injuries, surgery or a lot of high impact living? When conventional therapies and stretching take you only so far, consider adding Myofascial relapse to jump to your next level of healing.
Myofascial release is about applying a light pressure, traction or stretch to an often painfully restricted and contracted area of the body. The response is gradual lengthening of your bodies tissues (muscle, tendon, ligament, fascia, nerve) without the need for it to defend and there for oppose the shift. The time factor taken is what allows the body to release a painful or contracted area and why your body will lengthen its tissues. This then allows for the restoration of range of motion, the increase in flexibility and decrease in pain and very importantly the re-alignment of your bones, particularly the spine.
When the human body receives impact from a physical, mental or emotional blow it literally tightens and contracts. Usually this is released in due time, but these days we usually too many impacts to release the previous ones. Our bodies tighten in the fascia, muscle, bones, tendons and ligaments. Eventually, once too tight we experience loss of mobility (sometimes called aging), pain, spinal or pelvic shifts (one leg shorter), compaction (loosing height)and a whole host of undiagnosed ailments and issues.
Myofascial release helps with injuries that cause pain and decreased mobility, for scar tissue and adhesions, repetitive strain issues, ecpmpressing joints, spine and neck. It is gentle and slow, working to restore ease of motion, your ability to move well again. When your body’s defence system is not engaged the tissue will actually lengthen and have the chance to move back into equilibrium, thereby allowing your bones to move back to their correct positions on their own without cranking.

This often involves dietary changes, possible supplementation, and lifestyle adjustments (modifications to physical activity, stress management, sleep, daily habits, and more). Healing is a journey, and I want you to experience long-term wellness. Through a therapeutic partnership we will work together to track your progress over time and adapt your wellness plan as necessary.
Reflexology
Reflexology is a focused pressure technique directed at the feet & is based on the premise that there are zones & reflexes on different parts of the body which correspond to and are relative to all parts, glands and organs of the entire body.
When the reflexes are stimulated, the body’s natural electrical energy works along the nervous system to clear any energies in the corresponding zones. Manipulating specific reflexes removes stress, activating a parasympathetic response clearing & releasing a physiological change in the body. With stress removed and circulation enhanced, the body is allowed to return to a state of homeostasis which is the automatic process that the body incorporates to bring it back to the “normal” state.
The benefits of Reflexology are: relaxation with the removal of stress, enhanced circulation, assists the body to normalize the metabolism naturally and compliments all other healing modalities. General or specific stress (more than 80%) of North American disease can be related to stress) Stress can affect all reflexes.
