Acupuncture

What is acupuncture?

Acupuncture, or more accurately, Acu-Moxa therapy, is a 2000+ year old therapeutic system. It originated in ancient China and spread to other countries in East Asia. The practice consists of techniques that utilize needles and a combustible plant fiber known as Moxa that are applied to the skin and other superficial tissues of the body to produce specific therapeutic effects.

What type of acupuncture is practiced here?

Our Acupuncturist uses a Japanese technique that utilizes the finest gauge needles with insertion depths of only a few millimeters. This stands in contrast to the far more prevalent Chinese system of treatment known as TCM that uses larger needles and deeper insertions to produce a sensation of soreness or heaviness around the needle.

How does acupuncture work?

The most likely explanation is that Acupuncture is able to cause functional changes in the operation of the nervous system in the body, such as the function of the endocrine (hormonal) or the circulatory systems. Acupuncture also seems to have a direct effect on the motor and sensory serves of the body which regulate muscular tension as well as the transmission of pain.

How many sessions are needed?

Acupuncture is best used as an ongoing therapy that seeks to maintain the physiological balance of the body’s self-healing response, thereby preventing the occurance of disease. The number of treatments necessary will depend on any number of factors related to the individual patient and will be discussed during the initial assessment and treatment. Most clients will feel some change to their symptoms within a few treatments although more time is often necessary to resolve the problem.

What can acupuncture treat?

Acupuncture can be used to treat a wide range of complaints, which include, but are not limited to:

Post-workout recovery by speeding up the clearance of lactic acid and can remedy many signs of overtraining such as joint and tendon strain.

Musculoskeletal pain ranging from the common complaints of neck, shoulder, low back, and sciatic pain to rheumatoid or osteoarthritis.

Digestive complaints ranging from irritable bowel syndrome and heartburn to ulcerative colitis.

Allergies that produce respiratory symptoms (allergic rhinitis, asthma, etc)

Gynecological concerns such as menstrual irregularity, menstrual pain, infertility, or perimenopausal symptoms.

Massage

Our massage therapists are experienced professionals who exceed the state standards in training and continuing education. Our goal is to help you attain lasting results within a cozy, relaxing environment. Our staff specialize in one or more of the following styles:

Swedish

The best-known type of massage; sometimes described as a “relaxation massage.” This full-body treatment will ease tension, increase blood oxygen levels, decrease muscle toxins, and improve circulation.

deep tissue

Using similar techniques as Swedish massage, deep tissue treatments use more pressure to release muscle tension. The focus is on the deepest layers of muscle tissue, tendons, and fascia.

neuromuscular therapy

Neuromuscular Therapy is a massage technique that focuses on treating acute and chronic myofascial pain and dysfunction throughout the body. NMT attempts to reeducate the neuromuscular system through the release of trigger points and educate the client about other perpetuating factors (posture, habits of use, allergies, etc.) that may be associated with the client's complaint.

kinesio taping

The Kinesio Taping Method provides support and stability to muscles and joints without affecting range of motion. Kinesio Tex Tape is applied over the muscles to reduce pain and inflammation, relax overused muscles and support muscles 24 hours per day.

Sports Massage

Sports massage is a form of bodywork geared towards athletes. Using a various techniques, the therapist is able to achieve a specific goal when working on the athlete. It is often used to help prevent injury, prepare the body for athletic active, maintain optimal condition, and/or help athletes recover.

What is Muscle Activation Technique?

• A revolutionary approach to assessment and correction of muscular imbalances, joint stabitility and limitations in range of motion within the human body.

• A non-invasive technique designed to balance the muscular system and correct muscle weaknesses of people of all ages.

•A unique systematic format used to "jumpstart" the muscles in order for them to function with maximum efficiency.

How does Muscle Activation work?

Stress, trauma and overuse can interrupt the communication between the central nervous system and the muscles. When the communication pathway is altered muscles can't contract on demand leaving them "weak" with the inability to contract on demand and setting them and the body up for injury and compensation patterns. M.A.T. is a system of checks and balances that restores the communication of the muscles to the central nervous system and insures proper muscular contraction.

Sessions are done fully clothed on a massage table. The first session is an hour and half (30min assessment followed by treatment). Following sessions are 1 hour. Each session is currently $80 (will go to $100 at the end of October)

How do you know if a muscle is weak?

Something just might not feel right. Joint pain, muscle tension, or instability of a joint, or in other words tight hamstrings, tight lower back, shin splints, aching knees or a hyper-extended joint. Any feelings of pain or tightness can be signs of possible muscle weakness.

Who can benefit from M.A.T.®?

Muscle Activation Technique is effective for EVERYONE from elite athletes to rehabilitation patients and everyone in between. M.A.T.® is a great assessment and prep for those starting a workout program and wanting to get the most from their workouts.

Can M.A.T.® have a positive effect on arthritis and the aging process?

Yes! Muscles are designed to stabilize the joints so any improvement in muscle function may prevent loss of physical performance often associated with arthritis and aging. M.A.T.® ensures proper muscle contraction so when you exercise with load, your body will have the ability to maintain or gain muscle mass, which isn't possible if the communication between the muscle and nervous system is altered.
