Way of Wellness Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine

Moxibustion involves the burning of mugwort to warm regions and acupuncture points. According to Traditional Chinese Medicine theory, moxa has a tonifying and warming effect that promotes movement and activity.

The focus of remedial massage is to identify areas of dysfunction, release muscle tension, break up scar tissue and restore balance via the manipulation of soft tissue.

Cupping therapy is the method of using glass or plastic cups to create localized negative pressure by a vacuum. Cupping is applied to certain acupuncture points or to the parts of body that have been affected by pain.

Scraping therapy (Gua Sha) involves repeating pressure stroke of a tool along the meridians (energy channels) usually on the back, where there are many acupuncture points that can be stimulated.
