Deep pressure is applied to soft tissue while stretching the area.
Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) acupuncture is a holistic therapy that uses the gentle insertion of thin, sterile needles at specific points on the body to stimulate natural healing, restore balance, and support overall wellness. It can help reduce pain, relieve stress, improve sleep, boost energy levels, and promote both physical and emotional well-being.
Deep tissue massages are similar to a typical massage, though therapists use firmer pressure to access deeper structures.
