The ancient Chinese created a novel roadmap for the body based upon the belief that everything is energy (Qi) consisting of opposite but interacting Yin-Yang forces. Those energy channels - or meridians - everyone has heard of? They're pathways where the energy of this intricate web flows strongest. Acupuncture points access this healing flow in many different ways, stimulating a natural, positive reaction in the body, mind and spirit.

Gua Sha is a gentle scraping technique with a smooth-edged stone that, like cupping, also specializes reducing muscle tension and improving blood circulation. The stroking also promotes calm when the nervous system is tense with pain and stress.
Sometimes a treatment benefits from more sustained stimulation. Electro-acupuncture heightens the action of the acupuncnture points, often for pain issues. Small clips connected to an electric pulse machine are placed on the needles and transmit sustained, even vibration to the body.
