Shoulder tension is one of the most common things we see in the clinic, and it rarely comes from “just the muscles.” In TCM, tightness through the neck and shoulders often reflects how your Qi is moving, how you’re holding stress, and how well your body is circulating warmth and nourishment.
Cupping and acupuncture are two beautiful ways we support this area. Cupping encourages circulation to the surface, helping the body soften areas that feel tight, achy, or overworked. Acupuncture works more deeply, helping the body reset patterns of tension, move Qi more smoothly, and create that grounded, spacious feeling so many people describe after a session.
Often shoulder tension shows up when life feels full: long hours at a desk, interrupted sleep, emotional load, or simply the pace of modern living. When we support the body to unwind, people often tell us they breathe easier, sleep more deeply, or feel a sense of clarity they didn’t realise they were missing.
If your shoulders have been talking to you lately (tight, heavy, or tired) this is your gentle reminder that your body responds beautifully when given the right support.
Our practitioners are here to help you create more ease, movement, and comfort in your everyday rhythm.
