🌿 Always learning, always growing. Hannah was in Nobleboro, ME, this past weekend deepening her practice through a seminar in Gentle Japanese Techniques and expanding her knowledge of traditional Japanese acupuncture. ✨

Traditional Japanese techniques emphasize gentle touch, careful observation, and listening to the body. The teishin is a non-insertive tool that can complement acupuncture or be used as an alternative to needles, making it a wonderful option for those who are needle-sensitive.

This approach incorporates diagnosis through abdominal and channel palpation, along with gentle stimulation of the skin and superficial fascia to support nervous system regulation and the body’s natural healing processes.

In this video, Hannah is using the teishin as part of her approach to supporting someone with peripheral neuropathy.

🌸 Gentle Japanese techniques may be especially helpful for children, needle-sensitive individuals, people navigating PTSD, oncology patients, and others who may benefit from a gentler approach to care.

We’re excited to continue learning and bringing new techniques into practice to better support our patients. 🤍

Pain slowing you down? Let’s get you moving! 🩵

Meet Sami at Great Blue Acupuncture! 🪡✨

Dry needling? Yep, we do that too! In fact, precise, targeted needling is what we do every day.

At Great Blue Acupuncture, we combine orthopedic-style acupuncture, dry needling, and electroacupuncture to take an individualized approach to pain relief, muscle tension, and movement-related discomfort.

🌿 Orthopedic Acupuncture: Uses an understanding of musculoskeletal anatomy to address pain and movement concerns.

💪 Dry Needling: Targets tight, sensitive areas within muscles, often called trigger points, to help ease muscle tension and improve mobility.

⚡ Electroacupuncture: Uses gentle electrical stimulation through acupuncture needles and may help reduce certain types of pain.

As acupuncturists, our extensive training in needling techniques, anatomy, and point selection allows us to thoughtfully incorporate these approaches into individualized treatments.

Whether you’re dealing with stubborn muscle knots, an old injury, or everyday aches and pains, we tailor each treatment to your body and your needs.

Because feeling better and moving more comfortably is what it’s all about! 🩵

Come see Sami at Great Blue Acupuncture and let’s get you back to doing what you love!

Tight neck? Achy shoulders? Back feeling a little tense? We’ve got your back! 🩵

Meet Hannah at Great Blue Acupuncture! ✨

Here, Hannah is demonstrating two traditional techniques, Gua Sha and Cupping, to help ease muscle tension and encourage local blood flow and circulation.

🌿 Gua Sha uses gentle scraping techniques to stimulate the skin and underlying tissues.

💗 Cupping uses gentle suction to lift the skin and underlying tissues, which may encourage local circulation and help ease muscle tension.

Whether you’re dealing with everyday tension, long hours at a desk, or stubborn knots, these techniques may help you feel a little more relaxed and comfortable.

Your neck, back, and shoulders deserve some TLC! 🩵

Come see Hannah at Great Blue Acupuncture and give those hardworking muscles a little love!

✨ Celebrating Sami! ✨
For the past two years, we’ve been so lucky to have Sami as part of the Great Blue Acupuncture family. 💙

Sami is an incredibly talented acupuncturist, a compassionate healer, and someone who brings so much kindness, support, and heart to our team. Her clinical skills are exceptional, but it’s her ability to truly listen, connect, and care for each patient that makes her so special.

Our patients say it best:
“Sami is amazing. She is a good listener and an amazing healer. Thank you!!” 💙

Sami, we appreciate you more than words can say. Thank you for everything you bring to our team and to the people you care for every day. We are truly grateful to have you with us! 🌿✨

Happy two years, Sami! 🥰

💗 A little love for your heart!

Meet Leah, bringing a little calm to your day at Great Blue Acupuncture! 🪡✨

Today’s point spotlight: Heart 7 (Shen Men), also known as the “Spirit Gate.”

Located on the wrist crease, near the pinky side of the hand, Heart 7 is traditionally used in Chinese medicine to calm the Shen, a concept associated with the mind, spirit, and emotional well-being.

🌿 Traditionally used to promote relaxation and ease restlessness

💤 Often incorporated into acupuncture treatments for sleep concerns

💗 Used to support emotional balance and a sense of calm

In Traditional Chinese Medicine, the Heart is considered the home of the Shen, connecting our emotional well-being, mental clarity, and ability to rest.

While research continues to explore how acupuncture may influence stress and sleep, Heart 7 has long been used in Chinese medicine to promote a sense of calm.

Sometimes, a little moment of calm is exactly what you need. 🩵

Come find your calm with Leah at Great Blue Acupuncture!
