Acupuncture is a healing technique that has been utilized for thousands of years, originating in ancient China. Practitioners stimulate specific points in the body through the insertion of needles to alleviate symptoms. Results from a number of meta-analysis studies show that acupuncture helps reduce chronic and wide-ranging types of pain.

The acupuncturists at the Pellegrino Healing Center use a unique Japanese style designed by world renowned Master Kiiko Matsumoto in combination with Traditional Chinese Medicine, 5 Element, Trigger Point Acupuncture, and Electroacupuncture. Palpation and instant feedback from the patient and practitioner are used through reflections and release techniques. Specific treatment modalities and acupuncture points are tailored to each patient, addressing specific concerns and helping bring the body back into balance.

The BEMER is designed to improve circulation thereby supporting the body’s natural self-regulating processes. Blood is the body’s universal means of transportation. Oxygen, nutrients, chemical messengers (e.g., hormones) and immune cells are all transported through our blood. When our body’s cells, tissues and organs are adequately nourished and metabolic waste products are removed, our bodies maintain a healthy balance and function properly. The optimal regulation of circulation is a prerequisite for ensuring good levels of health and fitness.

The cups are then left on your skin for several minutes.

Cupping is an ancient practice involving the use of glass cups placed directly onto the skin. The cup is first heated with fire or manually pumped to create a vacuum. The cups are then left on your skin for several minutes. The discoloration seen on the skin after a cupping session indicates the restoration of blood flow to the tissue that was previously experiencing sluggish blood circulation; this discoloration is not bruising. You will notice a decrease in discoloration after multiple sessions.

Jorge Matias

Jorge Matias is a NYS Licensed Massage Therapist and 2019 graduate of Finger Lakes school of Massage in Mount Kisco NY.

It is a personal story of healing that led Jorge to become a massage therapist. After suffering with scoliosis, Jorge had a lumbar fusion. This left him dealing with a lot of pain. After enduring that pain for about seven years, Jorge had his first massage experience. The relief that he felt inspired him so much, he began to pursue a career in massage. Honing his skills, Jorge is happy to help others get the sort of life changing relief that he got from massage.

With the understanding that each person’s need for bodywork is unique to the individual, Jorge enjoys working alongside his patients to create the best plan of care, ensuring the best result.

Jorge brings a new offering to Pellegrino that he excels in: TableThai Massage. This method uses techniques that have been developed over millennia to both soothe and heal. Traditional Thai Massage is done without oil, and is a combination of gentle pulling, stretching, kneading—over the entire body. Jorge uses his hands, elbows, knees, and feet to guide his clients through various stretches and long sustained compression into the muscles.

Along with Table Thai Massage, Jorge also offers Swedish, Deep Tissue and Medical massages.
