Registered Acupuncture
Acupuncture is an effective method of healthcare and focuses on treating the root cause of your health problems.
In a typical acupuncture session, several diagnostic tools will be used to determine what is out of balance. This begins with questioning you about your various signs and symptoms, previous medical history, and course of illness.
Various methods may be used in combination with acupuncture such as fire cupping, massage techniques and dietary recommendations.
Registered Massage Therapy (RMT)
At Qualicum Beach Integrated Health we believe in customizing therapies for each client, ensuring that we effectively address their concerns and complaints. Our goal is to curate a personalized treatment plan that will improve your quality of life.
Your therapist will discuss what massage technique may be correct for you and can be a combination of the following massages.
Swedish Massage: This involves a whole-body therapeutic massage designed to relax the muscles and joints.
Deep Tissue Massage: this style of massage involves more pressure, it is more focussed on breaking down scar tissue and adhesions (muscle knots). These muscle knots can cause inflammation and circulation issues.
Sports therapy massage: This type of massage therapy is most beneficial to a person who engages in regular physical activity. It was created to assist in correcting imbalances in soft tissue that are caused by repetitive and strenuous physical activity and trauma. The massage is typically done after exercise or activity to relieve pain or tension.
Trigger Point Massage (myofacial trigger points):
A trigger point is a small, tight area in the taut band of muscle fibers and fascia, which restricts blood flow to the area and causes pain. Also known as contraction knots, trigger points become so tight, in fact, that they can be felt underneath the skin. They are typically very sensitive, causing a severe amount of pain that seems out of proportion to the pressure being applied.
Myofascial Massage works to release a trigger point by pushing fresh blood in and flushing waste material out. This helps relieve some of your pain by bringing more oxygen into the area and encouraging the muscles to release.
