Acupressure is based on one of the most ancient principles of healing - that simply touching a specific point on the body will release stress and improve health in the body. In an acupressure session, I apply firm pressure directly to these "points" on your body, which relieves your muscle tension and improves your circulation. This simple and powerful technique has been shown to be very effective in treating headaches, backaches, and even insomnia.
Oriental bodywork aims to restore and balance the flow of energy (Chi) throughout your body. It uses gentle hand and finger pressure along specific points and energy pathways (meridians) on your body to restore your body to full health. There are many forms of Oriental bodywork, but they all share a common foundation in Chinese Medicine. They simply differ in their use of specific techniques to balance your energy. My training was in Tuina which is the Chinese Medical Massage.
I can incorporate Cupping Therapy into any session. This is a complementary therapy and there is not an additional fee. Cupping therapy removes toxins, blood stagnation and can get deep within the muscle. I find Cupping to be extreamly theraputic and the effects seem to last longer than a traditional massage. It is great for treating (old or new) injuries that result in back pain, shoulder pain, knee pain, etc.
