OUR THERAPIES
Massage therapy uses many different techniques. Therapists typically press, rub, and manipulate the muscles and soft tissues of the body in order to maintain health and restore the body to optimal functioning. Cupping is also often used during treatment.
The Naturopathic philosophy is to stimulate the healing power of the body and treat the underlying cause of disease. Naturopathic Medicine is the art and science of diagnosis, treatment and prevention of disease based on natural therapies and techniques. It is a distinct system of primary care that addresses the root cause of illness and disease.
Acupuncture is among the oldest healing practices in the world. The traditions of Asian medicine observed physical and emotional issues as being affected by the flow of energy termed “Qi” (pronounced “chee”). Acupuncture employs the use of fine, sterile needles to correct the flow of “Qi” in the body.
