Manual Therapies for Complete Care

Cupping

Cupping utilizes cups with suction either by vacuum created by heat or by a pump to suck onto the skin, once cups are fized to position they may be left on the body or moved around in a massage like manner with a liniment to help move out stagnation. You'll always recognize someone who's had cupping done by the red/purple circle marks left behind by the cups!​

Gua Sha

In a similar fashion Gua Sha may also be used - Gua Sha is one of Kim's favorite techniques, which is a scarping style massage utilizing a gua sha tool or soup spoon and liniment.  This technique often looks quite awful with the temporary marks it leaves behind but most clients find it actually FEELS great, like an intense massage.  ​

Moxibustion

​Moxibustion is the application of a smoldering herb, Mugwort, to acupuncture points on the body. The warm sensation felt in the body is very relaxing and can have a dramatic effect on long standing conditions, chronic fatigue, pain associated with weakness, fertility and even the common cold.​
