Traditional Chinese Medicine is a system of medicine that describes the disease process in the body. It has a framework for describing the symptoms of the disease and explaining the etiology (cause and progression). It includes treatment principles and a variety of therapeutic methods to return the body to a state of health. The TCM philosophy was weighted heavily in the prevention of disease and not just treatment.

Acupuncture, the most commonly recognized treatment method of TCM, is the insertion of very fine needles in specific points on the body to effect change. In ancient times the change was described as moderating the flow of Qi in the body. Today we understand that the change involves release of cellular chemicals, activation of nerve reflexes at the spinal cord and brain, and the release of neurotransmitters and hormones.

Acupuncture promotes natural healing. It can enhance recuperative power and immunity, support physical and emotional health, and improve overall function and well-being. It is a safe, painless and effective way to treat a wide variety of medical problems.

Terry’s massage career began in 1987. With the ‘88 Winter Olympics a year away, he chose to take a highly regarded program from the Sports Massage Training Institute of Costa Mesa CA, that was organized for Alberta therapists by AMTA. Much of his practicum was spent working with international athletes as they trained and competed at new facilities in Calgary, Nakiska and Canmore.
