Chinese Massage, Cupping & Acupuncture

90-Minute Integrated Pain Relief & Nervous System Reset

At Aligned & Centred Acupuncture in Perth, this 90-minute combination treatment brings together Chinese Massage (Tuina), Cupping Therapy and Acupuncture in one structured session designed to address pain from every angle.

It is our ultimate therapy aimed at relieving muscular tension, improving circulation, regulating the nervous system and restoring the smooth flow of Qi through the meridian system. By combining three powerful Traditional Chinese Medicine methods, we target both the structural and energetic components of pain.

What Is the Chinese Massage, Cupping & Acupuncture Combo?

This 90-minute session integrates:

Chinese Massage (Tuina) to release muscular tension and work through the superficial, middle and deep layers of tissue.

Cupping therapy to increase circulation, reduce stagnation and decompress tight muscle groups.

Acupuncture to regulate the nervous system, reduce inflammation and restore meridian balance.

Each therapy plays a distinct role, and when combined, they enhance each other’s effectiveness.

Why This Combination Is So Effective for Pain Relief

Pain is rarely just muscular. It often involves a combination of tissue restriction, poor circulation, inflammation, nervous system dysregulation & psycho emotional disharmony.

This treatment addresses all components.

Chinese Massage works through the three layers of the body. The superficial layer improves circulation and releases surface tension. The middle layer targets muscular tightness and fascial restriction. The deep layer addresses chronic holding patterns and structural imbalance along the meridians.

Cupping therapy then draws stagnation to the surface, increases blood flow and promotes faster recovery in tight or inflamed areas. It helps reduce compression and allows tissue to move more freely.

Acupuncture completes the session by calming the nervous system, reducing inflammatory processes and restoring the smooth flow of Qi through the meridian pathways. This helps shift the body out of “fight or flight” mode and into a restorative state where healing can occur.

By addressing structure, circulation, nervous system and Qi regulation in one session, this combination often produces deeper and longer-lasting relief than a single therapy alone.
