Manual Therapy
Cupping
Cupping has been used for thousands of years to treat a wide range of health issues like strains, sprains, inflammation, back pains, and blood flow. Cupping therapy can remove harmful toxins from your body to promote overall health. It is a fast and effective treatment. It can take up to 30 minutes and in most cases the patient will start to feel better immediately after treatment.
Rolling Cupping
Instead of keeping the cups stationary, the therapist will gently roll them up and down the affected area. Your practitioner may use oil on the skin before the treatment which will help with the movement of the cups. This method leaves less marks on skin compared to traditional cupping treatment. Rolling Cupping helps the body get rid of pain, tension in muscle and heat.

Gua Sha
Gua Sha is natural therapy which involves scraping the skin with a massage stone to improve circulation. This is an ancient healing technique that can help with chronic pain and improve overall health. Dr. Ye and her team at Juntendo Clinic are experts in Gua Sha and have 30 years of experience.
Gua Sha is intended to rid the body of inflammation which may be causing chronic pain. Rubbing the surface of your skin repeatedly will help reduce inflammation and promote healing. Gua Sha is mainly performed on patient’s back, neck, legs, and arms. A gentler version of Gua Sha can be used on the face. Gua Sha treats a wide range of health issues like joint pain, muscle pain, inflammation, migraine headaches, and neck pain.
