What is Tuina?

​

What is Acupuncture/Dry needling?

​

Traditional acupuncture is based on an ancient health care system that believes pain and illness in the body is a  sign that the body. is imbalanced.  Therefore the aim of acupuncture treatment is to restore the body's balance.  The practitioner will insert very fine needles into precise points to connect with your body's qi. Most people do not feel the needles being inserted as they are so fine, however it is normal to feel a dull ache or mild tingling as the needles are adjusted.Each client is unique and their treatment is tailor made to their individual needs.

​

What is Cupping?

​

Cupping originated in China, and is a type of therapy that involves placing cups on the skin to create suction which may increase the flow of blood to promote healing in the body.There are 2 types of cupping: Dry Cupping which is suction based only and Wet Cupping which may involve both suction and controlled medicinal bleeding.  At LPT we do Dry cupping.

When the cups are applied, your skin may turn red due to the change in pressure.  Any bruising or marks will disappear within approx. 10 days.
