Acupuncture is a therapeutic technique that involves the insertion of very thin hair-like needles into specific points on the body. Acupuncture can be performed with or without electric stimulation through the needles. This technique triggers a cascade of local and systemic biochemical and neurophysiologic reactions, which address diverse conditions in the body and result in better body self-regulation and thus, improved health. Although its technique can’t be described in a single statement, possible therapeutic pathways for acupuncture may involve systematic, segmental, local, and psychological effects.

A significant body of rigorous scientific research demonstrates that acupuncture is effective for many chronic health conditions, including musculoskeletal pain, lower back pain, arthritis, migraine and other headaches, and digestive and hormonal issues. See, for example, a large scale meta-analysis by Vickers(https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3658605/)

Yoga

The goal of movement in yoga is to settle the mind and connect to the spirit. Whether your preference is for an active practice or one that’s more relaxing, take a moment to consider your personal needs and analyze the many different styles.

The goal of movement in yoga is to settle the mind and connect to the spirit. Whether your preference is for an active practice or one that’s more relaxing, take a moment to consider your personal needs and analyze the many different styles. If you’re looking for a physically demanding flow, Vinyasa may be a good place to start. This style of yoga is one with dynamic postures that are explored in a sequence to build up heat and strengthen the muscles. Yin, on the other hand, is using somewhat active poses but at a slower pace, with the poses ranging from around 2-6 minute holds. The aim of Yin is to center the mind and use the breath for easing into a deeper stretch. Restorative, however, is the most rejuvenating style of yoga that there is, with props used in each posture to promote passive stretching and calm the nervous system. There’s minimal movement in Restorative and holds can be an average of 3-10 minutes in length. While this is not a comprehensive list of yoga types, these are some of the common practice styles used in the private yoga offerings at Beyond Acupuncture. We also have an option for focusing on Pranayama, which is breathwork. This session would be a deep dive into breathing techniques to tap into the somatic experience and facilitate control that can be incorporated into stress-reducing mechanisms for daily life. Not sure if yoga is for you? Have further questions of which style might benefit you the most? Please feel free to reach out to Grace Wolfe at gw@bydacu.com with any questions you may have.

Jinny Donkrasin
(She/Her/Hers)

Originally from Thailand, and with over 25 years experience in both Eastern and Western healing knowledge, Jinny is a licensed massage therapist with a background in Ayurvedic and Thai Herbal massage therapies. She graduated from a four-year Bachelor’s degree program in Applied Thai Traditional Medicine. Jinny worked as a Holistic Health Care Provider of Integrated Western and Eastern medicine in Navy hospitals and communities with teaching and training expertise of over ten years.

In her spare time, Jinny enjoys outings with her daughter and often volunteers at her local temple. She sees her work as a massage therapist as a cultural necessity. In Thailand, it’s very common for the entire family unit to get regular massage treatments, and she hopes that eventually the majority of Americans can see its value too. Jinny loves to see her patients happy and leaving with a smile on their face after each massage.

As her specialty, Jinny brings her experience of Thai massage to Beyond Acupuncture. Her goal is to combine these healing practices together. Acupuncture methods can occasionally use trigger points, and Jinny can also tap into those points with her fingers as well as with an herbal ball, which has herbs enclosed inside to allow for therapeutic relief of muscular tension. Thai massage is often popular among athletes who are looking for a deep stretch of tense muscles, and hot stones are applied to the body following this treatment in order to further promote blood circulation.

In the past, Jinny has worked as a massage therapist at a chiropractor’s office in VA. She also had her own medical spa in Thailand before moving to the U.S. As a Virginia Certified Massage Therapist (CMT).
