Depending on the presented condition, I make a treatment plan, which incorporates one or combination of the following services:

  • Targeted acupuncture (including electro-acupuncture) for performance recovery: Master Tung's approach; motor points needling (specific, highly electrically excitable locations on a muscle where a motor nerve enters); and anatomical and meridian based needling to release myofascial tension, down regulate pain pathways, promote circulation, accelerate localized healing; Cases: chronic pain, nerve dysfunction, scar tension, adrenal fatigue, musculoskeletal restriction, muscle dormancy post-injury, post-op nerve irritation, long-term pain unresponsive to manual therapy.
  • Chinese herbal intervention: individualized herbal regimens to address internal imbalances, contributing to poor tissue healing, systematic inflammation, or energy depletion post-injury or surgery; Cases: post-operative recovery, chronic tendon sensitivity, nerve irritation, fatigue, long COVID, menstrual irregularity in dancers and female athletes.
  • Class IV laser acupuncture combines traditional point selection with high-power photobiomodulation, using infrared wavelengths to drive light energy deep into fascia, muscle, and joint tissue. Unlike needle-only treatment, the laser stimulates cellular activity at depth, making it well suited to dense or hard-to-reach structures. Cases: clients preferring a non-needle treatment.
  • Cupping (Stationary and Sliding): suction-based therapy to release myofascial adhesions, enhance lymphatic drainage, decompress joints, and ease overworked muscles. Cases: stubborn back/shoulder tension in aerialists, sciatic patterning in gymnasts, chronic hamstring restriction in dancers.
  • GuaSha: gentle scraping technique to promote capillary circulation, reduce superficial inflammation, and reset tension across muscle planes and scarred fascia; Cases: scar tissue work, stiff neck, fascia restriction, pre-acupressure or acupuncture enhancement.
  • Moxibustion (Smokeless): thermal stimulation using heat or infrared to warm meridians, activate immune function, and encourage blood flow to stagnated areas. Cases: cold scars, fatigue, uterine stagnation in dancers, post-op stagnation, systemic cold-type conditions.
  • Auricular Therapy (Ear Seeds / Acupuncture): nervous system regulation through stimulation of key reflex points on the ear, used for both emotional and physiological modulation; Cases: anxiety, performance stress, insomnia, digestive irregularity, hormonal imbalance, trauma recovery.
  • TDP (Teding Diancibo Pu-Special Electromagnetic Spectrum from Mandarin): far-infrared mineral therapy to improve local circulation, stimulate metabolism, and reduce pain. The lamp's heated plate is coated with a proprietary blend of minerals that radiate deep into the body's tissues. Cases: muscle spasm, joint stiffness, localized pain, myofascial trigger points, arthritis, and cold sensitivity.
  • Tui Na: a form of Chinese medical massage that works to restore the flow of Qi (vital energy) and blood by using a variety of hands-on techniques: brushing, kneading, rolling, pressing, and rubbing motions to target acupoints and meridians, as well as manipulate joints and muscles. The name itself translates to "push" (tui) and "grasp" (na), reflecting its core techniques; ​Cases: musculoskeletal pain (neck, back, shoulder), chronic headaches, sports injuries, joint stiffness, sciatica, and digestive issues.​
  • ​Chinese medicine detoxification programs: clearing stagnation to facilitate true healing from microtrauma and removing the dampness and heat that are perpetuating chronic inflammation and pain.

Typical Clients:

  • Dancers recovering from chronic ankle, hip, or sacroiliac micro-injuries;
  • Circus performers with low-grade but persistent wrist, shoulder, or spinal stress;
  • Boxers with nerve-irritation, inflammation, or hard-to-diagnose fascial pain;
  • Surgical patients with unexplained lingering soreness or scar sensitivity;
  • Individuals with chronic anxiety and emotional stress, which lead to physical symptoms;
  • Persons with microtrauma to the neck, shoulders, and upper back  (whiplash, poor posture, or repetitive strain) causing the muscles and fascia to tighten;
  • Women seeking to resolve infertility from tension and stagnation caused by microtrauma in the meridians, running through the pelvic region;
  • Men with chronic prostatitis or benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) caused by microtrauma in the pelvic area, which in Chinese medicine creates a blockage of qi and blood flow, leading to inflammation and swelling of the prostate gland;
  • People suffering from poor digestion and weight gain through microtrauma (especially to the abdominal fascia from a past injury, surgery, or chronic stress), which inhibits the Spleen's (the primary organ responsible for digestion and metabolism) ability to "transform and transport" food, leading to poor digestion, bloating, and the accumulation of dampness and phlegm, which are pathological substances that cause water retention and weight gain.
