Myofascial Dry Needling (MDN) is a practice where very fine gauge, filament needles, or acupuncture needles, are inserted into sensitive, ‘trigger points’, located in ropy bands within a skeletal muscle. It is mostly used in combination with other treatment techniques.
Cupping is an ancient technique where negative pressure is created through suction over an area of skin. Vessels called cups are used to create this suction..
The cupping treatments at my clinic are based on two main styles: Traditional cupping, and Myofascial or Modern cupping.

t is a gentle scraping of the skin with a ceramic spoon or other smooth- edged tool, to improve circulation and reduce muscular pain.

Moxibustion is a natural thermotherapy that can penetrate heat deeply into the body and has been used safely for thousands of years in Asian countries.
The herb, Mugwort, made into a floss from the leaf, is burnt and held over a moxa-point or affected area and the recipient feels a pleasant heating sensation creating a nice feeling of relaxation.
Ear Candles are a natural thermotherapy for Head and Ears.
I use original Hopi EarCandles made by BioSun, a safe and natural product that has been made in collaboration with the Hopi Indian people.
