When you’re dealing with pain — whether it’s sharp, dull, new, or something you’ve carried for years — you don’t want a lecture on anatomy. You want one thing:
Relief.
And ideally soon.
You want to move without wincing.
You want to sleep without being woken every time you roll over.
You want to go about your day without feeling limitations in the way you move, having to pre-plan.
You want your life back.
That’s exactly what my pain treatments are designed for.
How I Help People Out of Pain
The style of acupuncture I use is gentle, effective, and incredibly supportive for the body when it’s stuck in a pattern of tension or contraction.
Here’s what most people tell me after treatment:
- “The edge has been taken off.”
- “I can move again.”
- “The pain has shifted.”
- “The pain is all gone. Is it suppose to feel like that?”
- “I haven’t been able to move like that since my surgery.”
This approach works with the fascia and musculoskeletal system — the parts of your body that tighten up after injury, strain, stress, or surgery. When these tissues soften, pain eases and mobility returns.
What a Treatment Feels Like
A typical session is grounding, warming, and deeply relieving.
It may include:
• Gentle acupuncture
Needles that are placed and moved — not left in — to help release tight or stuck tissue.
• Gua sha
A scraping technique that melts tension and brings circulation back to places that feel locked up.
• Moxibustion
A warming therapy that relaxes the tissues and supports natural healing.
• Hands-on work
Soft fascial release or massage where needed.
Most people walk out feeling freer, lighter, and more themselves.
Pain Conditions This Approach Helps
You don’t need to know any theory.
You just need to know it works for:
New or old injuries
Sprains, strains, sports injuries, falls, overuse, repetitive work tension.
Neck, back, hip, or shoulder pain
Whether it came from posture, stress, exercise, or “I just woke up like this”.
Post-surgery tension or pain
Hip, knee, shoulder, breast or abdominal surgery — especially when scar tissue is restricting movement.
Chronic or stubborn tightness
Frozen shoulder, tight hips or hamstrings, “locked” areas, tension headaches, back stiffness.
Movement restrictions
If it hurts to turn, bend, lift, step, reach, rotate, or get out of the car — this is for you.
So… What Are the Sinew Channels?
(The theory — if you’re curious)
On the practical level:
I work with the fascia, muscles, and connective tissue.
On the classical Chinese medicine level:
These tissues belong to what we call the Sinew Channels (Jing Jin 經筋).
You don’t need to know any of this for treatment to work — but for those who like understanding the “why”:
- The Sinew Channels describe how the body responds to injury, impact, stress, or cold.
- They map where the fascia tightens and how tension travels through the body.
- Treating them helps “untie” the places that have become contracted or restricted.
It’s a beautifully effective system that blends anatomical reality with classical wisdom.
ACC for Pain Treatment
If your pain is from an injury and you have a valid ACC claim within one year of the injury, ACC subsidises acupuncture.
You may receive up to 12 sessions over 12 weeks.
Ready to Feel Better?
You don’t have to “push through” pain.
You don’t have to wait until it becomes unbearable.
Your body remembers how to heal — sometimes it just needs the right support.
