In Traditional Chinese Medicine, Acupuncture is often used alongside Massage Therapy / Tuina Bodywork on energy channels and specific areas of concern to improve circulation, relieve tension and soreness, and to promote healing. 

Tuina massage is used on adults as an adjunct to acupuncture treatment, and also as an alternative to acupuncture treatment for children under age 7.

In our practice we commonly employ tuina techniques such as on the head, torso, and limbs following acupuncture treatment to work on specific areas of concern relating to fertility, pregnancy, labour, postnatal care and common childhood / pediatric concerns.
