Traditional Chinese Medicine

Qi, body, nind, spiriti. For those seeking sustainable health and well being, East-West offers a balanced blend of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). With over 4,000 years in practice and increasingly supported by western studies, TCM achieves holistic health care by regulating Qi—vital energy flowing in the body. When Qi is abundant and free flowing, there optimal health; when QI is blocked or stagnant, illness and disease can develop.

Tuina (twee-nah) Medical Massage
Traditional Chinese Medical Massage is a combination of acupressure, meridian based massage, and body manipulation. Whether you need to relax, have soreness removed, or for a specific injury – tuina is a great treatment. You may add acupuncture for enhanced relaxation and healing.

Moxibustion
Specific herbs are burned above the body to promote circulation and healing. This is especially good for individuals that have a cold constitution, or pain that increases in cold-damp weather. Moxibustion burns with a distinct odor that may have a relaxing affect. It is effective with acupuncture or alone.

Cupping
Cupping stimulates the body’s healing pathways by drawing blood to external capillaries via “suction cups.” It is used, often as a complement or substitute for acupuncture, to improve circulation, clear cold or flu congestion, and treat other stagnation conditions.

Facial Rejuvenation Acupressure
TCM is a holistic approach to looking and feeling younger. This series of treatments promotes the circulation of Chi in your face to promote collagen production for increased muscle tone and elasticity (wrinkle prevention!). In addition to looking more youthful by addressing the underlying imbalances that contribute to the aging process you will have more energy, be more relaxed and have an overall health benefit.

The benefits of deep tissue massage therapy is similar to Swedish massage, but the deeper pressure is beneficial in releasing the chronic muscle. Deep tissue massage has several therapeutic effects and can be used to treat many different conditions.
