Cupping - Excellent for pulling congestion out from the muscular and fascial layers of the body. Cupping releases tension, fights off the acute onset of colds, increases circulation and tissue detoxification. Bruising from cupping is common, lasting a week or so.
Gua Sha (‘scraping red’)- Trauma and tension in the body present as inflammation. When gua sha is applied this is released and expressed thru the bruising of the skin. Gua Sha is best applied to joints where ligaments and tendons connect. This technique is also excellent at soothing and ‘training’ chronic scar tissue in the alleviation of tension, stiffness, and pain.
Electrical Stimulation (e-stim)- Needles are applied with the attachment of a positive and negative lead to run current thru the region of focus. E-Stim is excellent at firing muscles bodies into activation and clearing the tension of chronic muscles bodies. While an obvious sensation is desirable for most treatments, this form of therapy is not painful and often used as an adjunct to acupuncture.
Moxibustion (moxa)- A warming therapy which may be applied to acupuncture needles or directly onto the skin. Think of this as an ‘herbal infrared’ therapy, the warmth deeply penetrating the muscles and joints. Moxa is an excellent therapy for those with joint pain, worsened with cold weather, and for those with chronic cold limbs and joints.
