Acussage

Acussage is a unique treatment designed to bring the best of two styles of treatment together.  During the 60-minute treatment a patient will receive an acupuncture treatment with needles then massage that may include stretching, deep tissue work, and manual Chinese medicine techniques. While doing massage or bodywork, the practitioner will be looking for general tight muscle patterns or blocked areas of the body. The practitioner may use moxa, e-stim and/or cupping to complete the body’s natural state of being.

Acussage is Acupuncture and Tui Na Massage combined in one treatment session. Acussage treatment alleviates stress and depression symptoms by releasing endorphins, improving the circulation of blood and lymphatic fluids to bring fresh oxygen to body tissues. This increased oxygen flow eliminates waste products from inside the body and enhances recovery from diseases. Acussage treatments also decrease the stress hormone cortisol, lowers blood pressure, reduces the heart rate, and relaxes muscle tissue.

Tui na means “pushing grasping” and is a powerful form of Chinese medical bodywork. Based on the same Oriental medical principles as acupuncture, tui na seeks to improve the flow of qi through the meridian channels. Tui na is particularly effective for conditions involving muscles, tendons, and joints, such as structural misalignment, orthopedic problems and sports injuries. It can also be used to treat internal diseases.
