Acupressure, acupuncture and cupping therapies:
Acupressure is a massage-based therapy in which selected points on the body are stimulated without using needles
Acupuncture involves the use of fine needles to stimulate activity at specific points on the body
Electro-acupuncture involves applying a very low frequency electrical current to the needle/s to increase stimulation
Cupping involves the use of plastic or glass cups upon the body to stimulate the movement of energy
Moxabustion involves the use of burning chinese mugwort to warm and stimulate specific areas
A single treatment session may involve one or all of these methods.
