What is Acupuncture?

Origins: Acupuncture is known to have been around for the last 2000 years, though some do believe it’s been around for longer, about 4000 years. Acupuncture is believed to have begun during the Stone Age. People would use sharpened stones to puncture the skin and drain any abscesses. It is during the Shang dynasty, in 1500 BC that it is first recorded to have been used to treat disease.

What is Acupuncture and how it is performed? There are acupoints (acupuncture points) all over the body, and it is here where very thin needles are inserted into the skin’s surface. As a result the body will release its natural painkillers which will change the pain signals being sent to the brain, as well as aid the body in curing itself and a wide range of conditions.

What can Acupuncture do for me? Acupuncture will promote natural healing and diminish pain. Acupuncture will even significantly improve energy and mood.

What is Chair massage?

Chair massage is a short massage, anywhere from five to 30 minutes, done through the clothing. It typically focuses on key tension areas in the back, neck, shoulders and arms. A professional practitioner performs it in a specially designed ergonomic massage chair.

The sessions are usually shorter than traditional massage making it very convenient for anyone to fit into their schedule. And because the sessions are shorter, the cost for a chair massage is relatively low. These benefits make chair massage a safe, convenient and affordable. It's no wonder that more people are introduced to massage through chair massage than through any other massage technique.
