About
Oriental Massage
Oriental Massage is also known as Tui-Na or acupressure. It utilizes
massage techniques that are based on Oriental Medicine principles
and acupuncture points.
When an Acupuncture Physician performs massage he/she does so as
part of a full diagnosis. This is why someone with PMS might receive
a neck massage and someone with digestive issues might receive a
massage that focuses on acupuncture points on the back. Oriental
massage can treat muscle and soft tissue problems in a similar way
to Western massage but it can also treat many other, deeper problems.
Ariane and Alex do their massages as part of the whole treatment.
This ‘hands on’ aspect of the treatment allows them to
better interact with their patients. It also provides a more comprehensive,
rounded, and relaxing treatment. Patients appreciate the time and
attention and are impressed by how effective the combination of acupuncture
and massage can be.
