ACUPUNCTURE
Acupuncture is the ancient practice of placing fine needles into the body to stimulate the Central Nervous System which then sends signals to the brain. The body has this amazing ability to heal through the process of homeostasis (which means maintaining a stable internal environment), though sometimes the body struggles to affectively perform this role. This is where Acupuncture comes in!
When an Acupuncture needle is inserted, it safely stimulates endorphins (the body's healing response), directing the body’s natural anti-inflammatories and pain killers to the area of need. By activating the body's natural healing processes, this can result in pain relief, better sleep, improved digestion and a more balance mood all without the need for medication or side effects.

TUI NA MASSAGE
Ever been curious about the benefits of Tui Na massage ("pronounced twee-nah"), or maybe you have never heard about it.
Well Tui Na is based on the principles of Chinese Medicine; the techniques we use are tailored to your specific condition and strength of your body.
Our focus is to help reduce muscular tension/knots and stiffness, promote better blood circulation, reduce toxins, which can help you to recover from injury quicker and reduce inflammation.
Common conditions it can benefit are acute or chronic pain, digestive issues, sleep imbalances and stress plus it can enhance mood all with the power of palpation and touch.
Tui Na is amazing on its own, but I love it as a combined addition with Acupuncture. I truly believe it enhances its therapeutic benefits.
CUPPING THERAPY
Experience the rejuvenating effects of Cupping,
a Theropy that enhances blood circulation, moves stagnation, detoxifies and promotes a sense of deep relaxation.
Glass or pump cups are strategically placed on the body, with the purpose to move stagnant blood, fluids and toxins up to the surface of the affected area where it then can be eliminated easier. The suction effect delivers oxygen and nutrients to tissues to stimulate the body's natural healing mechanisms, helping you heal faster.
It is often used to help reduce chronic pain, muscle tension and soreness including speeding up recovery after workouts by breaking down the lactic acid stored in the muscles.
It can be beneficial for headaches, migraines, period pain, respiratory conditions like colds and flu plus skin and digestive conditions.
At Point Relief Cupping can either be an included before the end of an Acupuncture or Tui Na session or we offer a 30 minute intensive treatment focusing on the affected area.
