Acupuncture
Sports Type, focusing on musculoskeletal concerns and pain management. Includes techniques such as deep muscular needling, dry needling, electroacupuncture, guasha (scraping), and fire cupping. Best for acute conditions and recent injuries.
Traditional Type, focusing on guiding the body back into proper function. More likely to include a longer acu-nap, smaller needles, lots of heat, and electromoxa. Best for chronic and/or internal systems conditions.
Combination Acupuncture and Massage Therapy
Folding together the benefits of both therapies. This dual therapy provides a combination of hands-on approach and a specifically targeted treatment.
It can also be a more relaxing way to experience acupuncture when you might be a little nervous.
Massage Therapy
Simply creating movement where there was none.
Real Talk: I’ve kept my RMT designation mainly for use in combination with acupuncture, and also because I like my existing massage clients. In most cases, when your body is in pain or there’s something that isn’t working right, acupuncture is the more effective, more efficient choice.
