Massage Therapy Session

Acupuncture stimulates the balance and flow of Qi energy that, in Traditional Chinese Medicine, is considered essential to health. When the body is healthy, Qi (pronounced "chee") flows smoothly through the meridians that form a conceptual network of pathways throughout the entire body. When the balance or flow of Qi is deficient or obstructed, it may lead to disease or susceptibility to illness. Acupuncture treats both the symptoms and the root causes of the patient’s illness.​Atraumatic acupuncture needles are rounded at the tip so that they slide smoothly through tissue and are unlikely to cause bleeding. Needles are left in place for 15 to 30 minutes, during which time the practitioner may manipulate the needles to strengthen or reduce the flow of Qi.​
