Why Combine Acupuncture With Myofascial Bodywork?

Combining needle placement with soft-tissue bodywork addresses pain from both a neurological and mechanical standpoint. Acupuncture helps modulate nervous system pain signals, while myofascial release physically eases restricted connective tissue.

“Integrating structural bodywork with acupuncture ensures we aren’t just easing pain signaling, but directly releasing physical tissue tension for better long-term movement.”

— Duncan McGechie, Practitioner of Acubody Therapies

Your first visit includes a complete intake for your health history, structural movement assessment, and classical pulse/tongue diagnosis. Sterile needles are inserted, usually in conjunction with some form of gentle myofascial release or cupping.
