Acupuncture in Orillia

“I visited Carolyn some months ago. I have some shoulder issues due to past training injuries and a recent bicycle tumble. She performed the ‘cupping’ technique on my shoulder and area. Carolyn was very good at asking me questions during the treatment to best guide her along the way. It was my first experience with this. Carolyn’s treatment worked wonders. I noticed results very quickly. My shoulder pain lessened noticeably and my mobility increased dramatically. Over the next few days, my mobility continued to increase as did the number and types of stretches / exercises I could do. The next time I am in town, I plan on trying Carolyn’s acupuncture treatment. Until then, I’ll continue to enjoy the benefits of Carolyn’s knowledge, focus, care and results! Thank you, Carolyn!...I had the pleasure of being able to visit Carolyn again for a subsequent treatment quite recently. This time I was able to experience the acupuncture side of things. Her office in Orillia, Ontario, is spacious and comforting, well lit and the soft music provides a welcoming and calming environment.Carolyn was very good at providing me with the background of acupuncture and taking much of the mystery out of it for me. Once again she asked questions to guide her in finding accurate positioning for the acupuncture needles.I barely felt the needles enter and even then it was more of a sensation than a pain, as they are so tiny.After just a few minutes I felt a significant positive release in my shoulder and a more pain-free mobility range. She followed this up with the cupping technique I had experienced earlier in the year, this time with smaller cups. After describing where I felt the pain, and the corresponding adjustment and positioning of the cups by Carolyn, I felt more release in my shoulder and yet again an increase in pain-free mobility and range of motion. The end of the session had me lay still on the very comfortable table while more needles were placed in strategic points around my body and head. I was asked to now just close my eyes and relax for a few minutes and she left me to the sounds and the comfort of the room. The 8 or so needles were then removed and I was good to go. I felt both relaxed and great.My shoulder, the pain, range of motion and mobility had been significantly altered.If you have some issues that need addressing, I would recommend you contact Mariposa Acupuncture and Carolyn for an appointment.Thank you, Carolyn!Dan Gibbons“
