Cupping requires applying a suction force using special glass or ceramic, bulbous cups to various parts of the body. Cups may be left in a static position on a particular sight of injury or applied to lubricated skin and moved in a sliding motion to apply a pulling force along the muscles and connective tissues. Cupping works similarly to gua sha in that it improves blood circulation, reduces inflammation, and relaxes tight and painful muscles. It is particularly good for treating old injuries and overuse strain. Cupping received greater attention and awareness when many athletes competing in the 2016 Rio Olympics were seen using it.

Chiropractic is a branch of the healing arts that specializes in non-surgical spine care. Treatment involves manual manipulation of the spine, joints, and soft tissues and is based upon the principle that the body can heal itself when the skeletal system is correctly aligned and the nervous system is functioning properly. At OWH we treat the body as a whole. After a complete postural analysis and thorough examination to identify your ailments, a plan is created in order to strengthen weaknesses within your body and stretch where you are already strong.

GYROTONIC® practice builds core strength, balance, coordination, and agility. Regular GYROTONIC® practice helps to lengthen the spine and strengthen the core to take pressure off of the lower back, which greatly improves posture. A lot of traditional exercises become repetitive and have minimal range of motion. With GYROTONIC®, the constant arching, curling, and spiraling movement from your core, as well as breathing technique helps prevent stagnation in the body. GYROTONIC not only benefits the body, but the mind as well, because it requires the use of the entire body with full focus and attention to specific movements. These workouts are particularly helpful with rehabilitation after an injury, as the movements help to break down built-up scar tissue.
