Acupuncture
A form of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) that promotes healing, balance, and well-being. At our wellness clinic, our therapists use fine, sterile needles to stimulate specific points on the body, helping to alleviate pain, improve circulation, and restore energy flow.
What is Holistic Physiotherapy
The art of acupuncture is a holistic treatment that influences nerves, muscles, connective tissue (fascia), hormones, and circulation. By stimulating specific points, it activates the body’s natural painkillers, reduces inflammation, and restores optimal function. By tapping into the body’s energy flow, known as Qi (pronounced “chee”), traditional acupuncture aims to address various physical, emotional, and mental ailments.
