After a massage gone horribly wrong, my lower back seized up - to the point of having to crawl to the bathroom. I couldn't sit up, lie down, or walk without pain - putting on my sneakers was excruciating.
Renée agreed to fit me in at 10.30 for a half an hour session.
When I arrived she gently palpated my lower back to determine whether or not it was simply a spasm, sciatica, or something worse.
The treatment room was clean, peaceful, and warm. Knowing I was having trouble moving, she provided me with a stepping stool to get onto the table. After her initial observations, she decided the best course would be a combination of cupping, acupuncture, and electro stim through the needles.
She has a light touch - I didn't feel the needles go in at all, and when she manipulated them manually, I felt some release almost immediately. By the end of the treatment, I was still in pain but was able to sit up right away and felt a bit looser.
She sent me home with a pain patch and told me I would likely continue to get some relief throughout the day. She said we can do more work if I need it in the coming days, but was not pushy. She just wants me to keep her informed of how I'm feeling and we can proceed from there.
Overall, I would say that Renée at Angel Touch Acupuncture was professional, kind, and genuinely cared about my wellbeing. She has a natural healing touch and practices her art with love, which you can feel from first touch.
Thank you Renée! read more
