Relive · Restore · Reconnect
Personalized treatments to help you reduce pain, ease stress, and achieve long-term wellness. Registered acupuncture, therapeutic Tui Na massage, cupping and gua sha — in English and Mandarin, inside Functional Edge on 172 Street NW.
What We Do
Time-tested care, tailored to you. Every visit starts with listening — then a treatment plan built around what your body actually needs.
Acupuncture
Fine, single-use sterile needles are placed at precise points to regulate the nervous system, reduce inflammation and release the body’s own painkillers. Effective for chronic pain, migraines, stress, insomnia, digestive and women’s health concerns.
75 min
Tui Na Therapeutic Massage
Tui Na (推拿) is a 2,000-year-old clinical bodywork that works muscles, tendons and acupoints together to treat the root of musculoskeletal problems — not just the symptoms. Ideal for back, neck and shoulder pain, sports injuries and stiffness.
60 min
Cupping Therapy
Glass or silicone cups create gentle suction that lifts tight fascia, boosts circulation and speeds recovery. Famous with athletes — excellent for back tension, stiff shoulders and post-workout recovery.
30 min
Gua Sha
A smooth-edged tool is stroked along the skin to release fascial adhesions, move stagnant blood and calm inflammation. Particularly effective for neck and shoulder tension, headaches and restricted mobility.

Learn moreWhat Patients Say
After three sessions my lower back pain — which I’d had for two years — was finally manageable. The practitioner explained everything clearly and the direct billing made it effortless.
The Tui Na massage here is completely different from a spa massage — it actually fixed the knot in my shoulder that physiotherapy couldn’t. Highly recommend.
My migraines went from weekly to almost never. Being able to discuss everything in Mandarin made such a difference for my mother too.
