Acupuncture
Acupuncture is a therapeutic method used to encourage natural healing, reduce or relieve pain and improve function of affected areas of the body. It involves the insertion of very fine needles through the skin and tissue at specific parts of the body.

Pediatric care
Pediatric massage is the manual manipulation of soft tissue designed to promote health and well-being in children and adolescents. It can help reduce pain and anxiety in young patients living with debilitating medical conditions. Pediatric massage therapy is tailored to each child’s unique physical development, cognitive stage, and healthcare needs.
Recent research shows that massage therapy can ease not only physical symptoms but also the emotional discomfort often associated with pediatric medical conditions. It can support the management of chronic issues such as asthma by promoting relaxation and reducing tension in the respiratory muscles of the chest, mid-back, and neck. Pediatric massage may also help relieve nausea and constipation by gently addressing the muscles of the abdomen and gastrointestinal tract, and it can ease myalgia (chronic muscle soreness) through calming, therapeutic touch.
