Other modalities

I integrate other healing modalities into my CFT practice depending on the needs and desires of the client. 

Cupping is an ancient alternative therapy used to enhance circulation, relieve pain, detoxify the body and calm the central nervous system.  It may also help with fevers, coughs, and asthma. Cups are placed and suctioned on parts of the body. They may be moved along the body during your session. The cups pull stagnant blood and fluid from the tissue bringing them to the surface to move through the bloodstream for processing. This allows new oxygenated blood to heal the area. Cupping may leave red or purple marks as a result of bringing local inflammation to an area to help healing, and the marks may last a few days. The cupping process is not painful. 

Gua Sha uses a small instrument to strum the skin and treat areas of the body where injury or stagnation in circulation has caused pain, limited range of motion, and other ailments. It removes stagnation and increases surface microcirculation helping the body to heal by encouraging the body to pay attention to the injured area.
