Traditional Chinese Medicine Squamish, BC

Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) is an integrative system of care that looks at the whole person, not just a single symptom. At Acuflo Therapy, TCM draws on a range of psychological, physical, and herbal approaches, including Chinese herbal medicine, to support your overall health at the root, helping you feel more balanced, more grounded, and more like yourself.

At the heart of TCM philosophy is the relationship between yin (passive) and yang (active), two complementary forces that are always working to find balance within the body. When yin and yang are in harmony, the body tends toward optimal health and well-being. When that balance is disrupted, imbalance, discomfort, and disease can follow. TCM aims to gently restore that equilibrium.

What Traditional Chinese Medicine Includes

TCM is not a single treatment. It is a family of therapies that can be used on their own or in combination, depending on what your body needs and how we can best support you. At Acuflo Therapy, this includes:

  • Acupuncture, the gentle placement of fine, sterile needles at particular points to support the body's natural flow of energy, or qi, gently stimulating the body's own healing response

  • Chinese herbal medicine, offered here as a small range of ready-made herbs and formulas

  • Tui na massage, a therapeutic, hands-on bodywork technique

  • Cupping, used to support blood flow and circulation and ease muscular tension

  • Gua sha, a gentle scraping technique used to support the skin and underlying tissue

  • Dietary recommendations, to support your care from the inside out

Each of these therapies has its own history and its own way of working with the body, and together they offer a well-rounded, complementary approach to wellness that works alongside Western medicine rather than in place of it.
