Alternative Medicine

At CPT, we believe in combining the best of modern rehabilitation techniques with time-tested traditional therapies. This unique blend allows us to deliver exceptional results, addressing not only physical recovery but also overall balance and well-being.

Our alternative medicine services include acupuncture, cupping therapy, and Shiatsu massage. These methods can be used on their own or in combination with physiotherapy treatments to enhance healing, reduce pain, and restore harmony within the body.

Acupuncture & Acupressure

Acupuncture and acupressure support the body’s natural healing processes and can help with:

Lower back pain

Neck pain

Arthritis and knee pain

Headaches and migraines

Our trained therapists apply these techniques to relieve discomfort, improve circulation, and promote long-lasting wellness.

The CPT Difference

By blending advanced clinical therapies with proven traditional practices, we create individualized treatment plans that address not just symptoms, but the whole person. This holistic approach helps our patients recover faster, feel better, and live with greater energy and balance.

Cupping Therapy

Cupping has been practiced for thousands of years and continues to provide benefits for a wide range of conditions, such as:

Rheumatic disorders

Chronic pain and headaches

Digestive issues

Respiratory problems

Immune system imbalances

By creating gentle suction on the skin, cupping improves blood flow, stimulates tissue healing, and relieves pain and inflammation. Many patients also experience a deep sense of relaxation during sessions.

Shiatsu Massage

Shiatsu, which translates to “finger pressure,” is a Japanese therapy that uses kneading, stretching, and soothing pressure to encourage circulation and restore balance. Based on the body’s energy pathways, Shiatsu is effective in:

Improving blood and lymphatic flow

Releasing muscle tension

Supporting relaxation and stress relief

Our certified Shiatsu specialists integrate these techniques with modern therapy to provide a holistic approach to care.

Restoring strength and mobility with trusted hands
