Holistic & Acupuncture Treatments

The underlying principle of treatment is that illness and pain occur when the body's qi, or vital energy, cannot flow freely.

Cupping uses glass, bamboo or plastic suction cups to draw up soft tissue inside the cup. The pressure inside the cup is reduced either by using a pump (cold cupping), heating the air inside (fire cupping). This treatment is great for musculoskeletal problems, improving blood circulation, speeding healing & reducing pain.
