Afraid of needles?

Many people find that once they experience acupuncture, the experience is nothing like having an injection or being needled for the purposes of giving blood. However, for sensitive cases, including small children, there is no need to use needles in a treatment. Other tools can be used to activate the meridians and stimulate the acupressure points without penetrating the skin, while achieving the same benefits.

Massage Therapy is the manipulation of soft tissues (tendons, ligaments, muscles, and fascia) performed for the purpose of restoring those tissues to a healthy state. It is well known to be a safe treatment for many common conditions, including muscle sprains and strains, trigger points, neurological pain, and posture imbalances.

Back pain, Joint pain, Digestive issues, Stress, Pregnancy, Pediatric health
