At Absolute Qi, we treat various types of pain, with the largest group being those suffering from long-standing, chronic pain.

Often, this pain is linked to movement in areas such as shoulders, backs, elbows, and knees. However, I also address pain that originates from less obvious sources, such as muscular tension related to digestion or other non-movement-related areas like the neck for migraines or the jaw for TMJ.
