Traditional Chinese Medicine
Acupressure, Gua Sha and cupping are a part of traditional Chinese medicine healing modalities administered at strategic points on your body.
- Acupressure or tuina is a type of massage that is most commonly used to treat pain, but it is increasingly being used for overall wellness, including stress management. Acupressure is also thought to help improve circulation and increase the body’s overall energy levels.
- Gua Sha is used for a gentle massage of the face.. The key point is to massage the skin with a tool to invigorate blood flow, release heat-toxins, stimulate lymphatic drainage, activate various points of the body, and bring helpful cells to the area by stimulating an immune response.
- Cupping involves applying suction cups to create a vacuum to stimulate the flow of qi, the “life force” that circulates in our bodies according to TCM principles. The suction breaks tiny blood vessels under the skin, triggering the body’s self-healing process, boosting circulation and lymphatic flow and expelling toxins.
