Tuina is a manual therapy which aims to stimulate the circulation of blood and energy, to soften the joints, muscles and soft tissues, to eliminate energy blockages and to bring balance overall body.
This manual therapeutic technique differs from Western massage techniques because it is based on an energetic concept (harmonization of Qi) and it offers a multiplicity of types of manipulation. In fact, there is a wide variety of techniques varying depending on the imbalance and the areas to be treated.
The interest of tuina is to restore and maintain good energy circulation in the body, thus allowing general well-being.
Tuina is practiced by treating the energy pathways which are the main meridians, the tendino-muscular meridians as well as the acupuncture points, the organs and viscera.
The application of tuina also acts on the movement restrictions of the body (knee - shoulder - ankle - hip - etc.) in order to restore the mobility of a joint.

In my clinic, the most important rule is that acupuncture should never produce uncomfortable sensations. Everything must be within my patients’ comfortable zone.
Absolutely, the highest quality needles used. As soon as I remove them, they go into special containers for biomedical waste.
Yes, I have been a member of the Order of Acupuncturists of Quebec since 2008.
Quite difficult to answer this question. The best answer was given by one of my teachers: “As little as possible, as much as necessary”. In practice this can range from 4 to 50 needles per treatment.
Again, this will depend on my clinical impression and the treatment protocol chosen.
My ultimate goal is to have a positive result after the first treatment. In 70 to 80% of my treatments, this is the case. However, there are some situations where I have to try different approaches to find the right key
I always ask my patients to give me 4-5 treatments to see if positive results will be produced. If after 4 to 5 treatments my patients feel better, we might opt for 2 to 3 additional treatments, depending on the severity of the symptoms.
