Dry Needling / Cupping

Dry needling treats pain by activating or inhibiting a muscle, depending on what is needed. Cupping breaks up fascial adhesions, creating a deep stretch in the muscle resulting in an improved range of motion. Both are a fantastic ways to speed up the recovery process and maintain a healthy balance within the body.

Dry Needling

Dry needling is not acupuncture of Oriental Medicine, that is, it does not have the purpose of altering the flow of energy (“chi”) along traditional Chinese meridians for the treatment of diseases.

In fact, dry needling is a modern, science-based intervention for the treatment of pain and dysfunction in musculoskeletal conditions. Dry needling can help to restore healthy function to the effected tissues, helping you to feel better, more quickly.

Super-fine filament needles are inserted into myofascial trigger points, tendons, ligaments, or near nerves in order to stimulate a healing response in painful musculoskeletal conditions.

Cupping

Cupping is a gentle and effective technique that aims to restore function, movement and flexibility to the soft tissue that connects the body’s muscles, cartilage, ligaments and tendons.

We use suction to create a vacuum effect in a cup, which is placed on the skin. The suction creates negative pressure which encourages the flow of blood and lymph to the skin, breaks up and drains stagnation, facilitates rigid soft tissue release, and loosens connective tissues.

Cupping is known to help activate the lymphatic system, promote blood circulation, and is extremely useful for deep tissue repair.
