Alex’s rare background combines a mastery of China’s ancient healing and martial arts with in-depth training in modern Western medicine. His unique treatments blend Qigong, Tuina, and Swedish Massage to form his own style, which concentrates on the acupuncture points using deep tissue massage to awaken one’s inner Chi or subtle energy. He not only treats the condition but also improves overall health and wellness by boosting energy and reducing stress.
