Acupuncture
By stimulating points throughout the body with very thin needles, our own healing capabilities are activated. Acupuncture is used to prevent illness, to restore and maintain wellness, treat chronic and acute pain and guide us towards a state of internal balance.
Moxibustion
Moxibustion is an ancient Chinese medicine technique that involves the burning of dried mugwort to facilitate healing and is often used in conjunction with acupuncture. When moxibustion is burned over the acupuncture points, it can reduce pain, increase circulation and aid in maintaining general health.
Chinese Herbology
Herbs and medicinals are used to bring balance to a person’s health. Chinese herbal medicine is the most complete, systematic and comprehensive herbal medicine system and is considered as the primary therapeutic modality of internal Chinese medicine.
Cupping
In a typical cupping session, a vacuum is created in glass “cups” and then they are placed upside down onto the patient’s skin. When combined with massage oil, the cups can be slid across the back, creating a sort of massage. This helps to stimulate the flow of blood, balances and realigns the flow of qi, breaks up obstructions, and creates an avenue for toxins to be drawn out of the body. Cupping is used to treat upper respiratory conditions, such as asthma, bronchitis and congestion and certain types of pain.
Massage and Movement
Kari is trained in Muscle Melting™ which is a highly effective technique for correcting posture and treating pain and muscle spasms. Additionally, an eclectic variety of massage is available, including Cranial Sacral Therapy, Sports massage, Tuina and a blend of Swedish and Esalen styles. Usually, massage is performed as an adjunct to the rest of the treatment. Gentle exercises and stretches may be prescribed within your individual ability to increase strength, flexibility and range of motion and to decrease pain.
