Aches and pains are defensive ways that our body utilizes to provide us a warning or alarm that something is off balance. The body may compensate to avoid the pain, for example, if you have a pain in the right knee the body will compensate by leaning its weight to the left side, gradually causing a misalignment. Addressing these problems in their early stages with therapeutic massage and bodywork can help prevent unnecessary pain, injuries and restore a healthy postural balance and flexibility.
Therapeutic massage includes techniques such as myofascial release and cupping to help to break up scar tissue to improve mobility, flexibility and prevent future injuries. Scar tissue commonly appears after trauma, overuse or simple sedentary activities like sitting for long periods of time. Collagen accumulates in between muscle fibers to form adhesions. Over time it may develop into scar tissue and eventually calcify, leading to stiffness, muscle cramps, limited range of motion, compressed nerves, and surgical intervention in some cases.

Acupuncture helps with conception by increasing blood flow to the reproductive organs, regulating the hormonal system, and decreasing stress. When combined with herbal medicine, conditions like endometriosis and fibroids respond even better. Herbal medicine is very effective at correcting any deficiencies which may exist in your body's Qi, blood, yin, yang, and Jing/essence.
