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 Acupuncturists use 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?
Acupuncture is able to cause functional changes in the operation of the nervous system in the body, such as the endocrine (hormonal), muscular, or the circulatory systems. Acupuncture also has 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.

Thank You Aaron for giving me mobility in my knees!
I’m pain free for the first time in a really long time.
My knees don’t ache and hurt anymore.
Even though I had had ortho visc shots from my orthopedic dr I didn’t have pain relief like I have had with these treatments. I have also had pain relief with my back and hips and I am walking straighter. I’m so grateful that his treatments have helped me so much. He listens to me and has tailored my treatment schedule to fit my needs.
Cupping
Cupping is a therapy designed to stimulate the flow of blood and qi within the superficial muscle layers. It is used for many ailments such as sore muscles, tension, neck pain, back pain and even the common cold. During a session small glass or plastic cups are placed on the body and a vacuum is created using heat or suction. They may be moved over an affected area or left in place. Any superficial redness will dissipate quickly.

M.A.T.®
STRESS, TRAUMA, & OVERUSE CAN TAKE A TOLL ON YOUR BODY.
What starts out as an acute nagging pain can quickly turn into chronic discomfort - keeping you from doing what you love. Introducing, M.A.T.® a powerful, non-invasive assessment tool that analyzes and corrects muscular imbalances. M.A.T.® focuses on the cause of pain by testing, correcting, and maintaining muscle contractile efficiency. Sessions are done fully clothed and are appropriate for all ages and athletic abilities. Reset your system and restore full muscular functionality with M.A.T.®
• 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.
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.

Structural Integration
Structural Integration aligns & balances the body by lengthening
& repositioning the fascia. When restricted fascia is released, the
muscles move more fluidly & efficiently, allowing the body to return to
its aligned & balanced state.
what is structural integration?
Developed by Dr. Ida P. Rolf in the 1940s and fine-tuned by her at Esalen Institute in California and later in Boulder, Colorado, Structural
Integration combines hands-on manipulation of the body with
movement re-education. Whereas other forms of bodywork like
massage focus on the manipulation of muscle tissue, Structural
Integration focuses on the manipulation of the fascia, the connective
tissue that surrounds the muscles.
what is fascia?
Fascia is the stretchy membranous webbing that surrounds and
connects muscles, ligaments, tendons, organs, and bones. Fascia is so
integral to our body’s structure that it influences the way we breathe,
stretch, walk, jump, and move.
Fascia can become hardened and thickened by injury, accident,
age or postural habits. The goal of structural integration is to release
the fascia enough for muscles to relax and stretch, and for joints to
reorganize themselves. Using gentle pressure at key points on the
fascial layer, therapists manipulate the superficial fascia with their
fingers, palms, and forearms to bring the release–and relief–the body
has been waiting for.
what can structural integration help with?
Low back pain, sports injuries, chronic headaches, carpal tunnel
syndrome, tight neck and shoulders, plantar fasciitis, sciatica, TMJ
syndrome, pain associated with nervous system disorders and more!

After the first session I felt relaxed and had significantly less pain.
I expected my aches to return as they usually do after regular PT sessions or massage, but my body really seemed to get back on track. I’ve returned to my normal gym routine with little trouble.
I saw Melissa for pain in my foot and knee that was preventing me from working out.
I saw her for one session and then was able to return to my normal workout two days later.
