Acupuncture, acupressure, and medical massage. Acupuncture techniques include TCM (Traditional Chinese Medicine), Japanese style, Korean, Tan, ah shi, and 5 Element. Osteopathic Bodywork (medical massage) is based on neurology and connective tissue anatomy. Techniques include muscle energy, Still technique, Trager, percussion, and myofascial release. Slow, gentle movements help retrain chronically tight muscles and reset their level of tension. This generates better blood flow, speeds healing, and increases flexibility. OMM (Osteopathic Musculoskeletal Manipulation) corrects problems long-term by addressing the muscles that actually pull bones out of place. Once the muscles are relaxed, any misaligned bones can be eased into their proper position. Results are more lasting than with a traditional massage. Pretty pre-printed gift certificates are available. Corporate day events, and house calls may be scheduled with an additional charge based on location. Accident insurance accepted. Sessions range from $55 (acupuncture or massage only) to $90 for a regular session including both. Ask about discount packages. Smoking cessation treatments are FREE.
