Wellness in Synergy
Acupuncture is rich in history and its theoretical concepts provide a strong, effective guiding hand to practitioners as they apply it to patients – but it is often plagued with a reputation of being far too mystical to be legitimate – particularly in the US. When paired with the tactile and measurable foundation of the Stecco Manipulation Methodology, acupuncture gains an entirely new level of legitimacy – grounded in the quantitative bedrock of Western Medicine. I have seen tremendous success in the health and longevity of that health in my clients since applying the Stecco techniques, and I sincerely believe that fascial manipulation is the critical vehicle for not just acupuncture’s future, but for the future of physical medicine as a whole.

Stecco Fascial Manipulation
The Stecco Fascial Manipulation method is an advanced therapeutic approach focused on the manipulation and treatment of the fascial system, which is the connective tissue that surrounds and supports muscles, bones, and organs in the body. Developed by Italian physiotherapist Luigi Stecco, this method employs precise and targeted manual techniques to address fascial restrictions and imbalances. Practitioners use their hands to apply specific pressure and manipulation to identified points in the fascial network, aiming to restore optimal movement and function. The Stecco Fascial Manipulation method is designed to alleviate pain, improve range of motion, and enhance overall musculoskeletal well-being by addressing the intricate relationships within the body's fascial system.
Other Modalities

Dry Needling
Dry needling, unlike acupuncture, follows Western medicine principles, utilizing solid needles to target muscle knots and alleviate tension. It aims to release knots, diminish pain, and enhance flexibility, commonly integrated into comprehensive physical therapy for musculoskeletal improvement.

Cupping
Cupping is a traditional therapy that involves placing cups on the skin to create suction, promoting blood flow and relieving muscle tension. It is believed to help alleviate pain by increasing circulation, reducing inflammation, and releasing tight muscles.

Kinesio Taping
Kinesio taping is a method of applying elastic tape to specific areas of the body to provide support, stability, and pain relief. It is thought to assist in pain management by facilitating better circulation, supporting injured muscles or joints, and promoting proper body mechanics during movement.

Gua Sha
Gua is a form of manual therapy like Graston (it actually pre-dates Graston by over 1,000 years) that uses specialized instruments to massage and scrape the skin to alleviate soft tissue restrictions and pain. It is believed to aid in pain relief by breaking down scar tissue, improving blood flow, and promoting the healing of injured muscles and connective tissues.
