My approach
Matthieu Valensi
As a Traditional Chinese Medicine practitioner, I use various techniques, including acupuncture, acupressure, moxibustion, trigger points, cupping, structural therapeutic Tui Na (akin to osteopathy with joint and muscle adjustment), auriculotherapy and lifestyle advice.
These techniques can address numerous issues and also work preventively, for example by boosting the immune system. By selecting the right techniques for each need, they encourage the body to regenerate itself by regulating its energy.
A complementary approach to conventional medicine.
Techniques
Ancient methods, modern care
Therapeutic Tui Na
Traditional Chinese massage using pressure, kneading and manipulation to relieve muscular tension and restore balance — the perfect combination of acupressure and Chinese osteopathy.
Cupping
Glass cups create suction on the skin to stimulate circulation, release muscular tension and activate vital energy.
Moxibustion
Gentle heat from a mugwort stick near acupuncture points stimulates Qi, relieves pain and relaxes the muscles.
