What brought you here?
Pick whichever is closest. You will see what Joy would actually do about it, and you can book from there.
Back, neck or joint pain
Needling to settle the pain signal, then hands-on work and cupping to release what has tightened up around it. Most people notice a change within two or three visits.
Treatments most likely to be used
Cupping therapy 拔罐
Suction cups lift and decompress tight tissue — the opposite of massage pressure.
Tui na bodywork 推拿
Chinese therapeutic massage, worked through clothing. No needles.
Nothing is decided in advance — the mix is confirmed with you at the appointment, after Joy has examined you.
Headaches or migraines
Joy looks for the driver first — neck tension, sleep, jaw, digestion or hormonal timing — then treats that alongside the headache itself.

Something else, or I am not sure
The first appointment is largely a conversation, so you do not need a label before you come. Joy will tell you honestly whether this is the right thing to try — and refer you elsewhere if it is not.

Pick a time
Available times
Choose a date first.
To be clear about what this is. Chinese medicine works alongside your medical care — it does not replace a diagnosis, a prescription or an investigation. Keep taking what your doctor has prescribed, and expect Joy to refer you on when something needs it.
