Corrective exercise involves strategically activating muscles to help re-align posture and musculoskeletal balance. This can help give relief to many physical injuries but most importantly prevent them by making all the tissues around joints more tolerant to stress.

Acupuncturists commonly use guasha and cupping therapy as manual work to directly relax and regulate the superficial tissues and muscles of the body. Guasha is a scraping tool that is great for muscle, tendon and skin adhesions that can cause stiffness and movement restriction. Cupping utilizes the suction of various types of cups to promote blood circulation to optimize recovery and healing.
