What are the top 3 treatments that you focus on?


您最關注的前 3 種治療方法是什麼？

Annie enjoys providing deep tissue massage therapy which combines Swedish, Tuina and trigger point massage. Most of time, Annie’s massage style is “no pain no gain” – to a certain extent. Most of the soreness is due to prolonged misuse/over-use without awareness. Most of these conditions could be helped by Swedish, Tuina and trigger points massage techniques.

Annie 喜歡結合提供推油、推拿和激痛點按摩的深層組織按摩療法。在大多數時候Annie的按摩風格更偏向是“一分耕耘一分收穫”。大多數疼痛是由於長期時間或是在無意識下過度使用，而推油、推拿和激痛點的綜合按摩可以幫助這些大多數情況。
