Acupuncture-Informed Massage Therapy

At Harmony Path Healing, acupuncture is thoughtfully incorporated into Registered Massage Therapy (RMT) sessions to enhance pain relief, restore balance, and support the body’s natural healing processes. Drawing from the principles of Traditional Chinese Medicine and contemporary medical acupuncture, fine needles may be used alongside hands-on massage techniques to create a more comprehensive and effective treatment experience.

This integrated approach is ideal for clients seeking deeper relief from musculoskeletal pain, tension patterns, stress, and nervous system dysregulation.

​

Understanding Acupuncture Within RMT Treatment

Acupuncture is based on the concept that the body’s energy, or Qi (pronounced “chee”), flows through pathways known as meridians. When this flow is disrupted, it can contribute to pain, dysfunction, or imbalance. Within an RMT session, acupuncture points may be gently stimulated with fine, sterile needles to help regulate the nervous system, improve circulation, and support tissue healing—working synergistically with massage therapy.
