Acupuncture & Tuina Therapy

Acupuncture is a traditional treatment that involves the insertion of ultra-fine needles into specific points on the body to help restore balance, relieve discomfort, and support the body’s natural healing response. Rooted in
Traditional Chinese Medicine, acupuncture is commonly used to address pain, stress, muscle tension, and a variety of physical and functional concerns.
Treatment is designed to promote circulation, regulate the body’s energy flow, and support overall physical and emotional well-being. Depending on the condition being treated, acupuncture may also be combined with

Sessions typically involve a brief assessment followed by gentle needle insertion and relaxation during the treatment period.
