Thousands of years of practice. Right here in Stittsville.
Acupuncture and Traditional Chinese Medicine are now part of Agility — delivered by registered acupuncturist Jing Luo. Three specialized services, one careful diagnosis behind all of them, and a treatment approach built around your body's own capacity to recover.
Now booking — Wednesday evenings and Saturday mornings, starting November 1
What is acupuncture — and what is TCM?
Acupuncture uses hair-fine, sterile, single-use needles placed at specific points on the body to ease pain, calm the nervous system, and support healing. Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) is the diagnostic framework behind it: your practitioner reads your pulse, observes your tongue, and takes a detailed history to identify the pattern behind your symptoms — then treats the pattern, not just the spot that hurts.
It's supported by a growing body of research for chronic pain, migraines, and musculoskeletal conditions, and it's one of the most widely used complementary therapies in the world. Sessions are calm and unhurried: most people rest quietly while the treatment works, and many describe the feeling as deeply relaxing.
Three services, one practitioner
Jing Luo's practice covers three areas. Every new patient starts with a full 75-minute intake consultation so treatment is matched to your condition — not pulled off a shelf.
1. Pain, Injury & Muscle Recovery
For neck, shoulder, back, hip, knee, foot and joint pain, sciatica, muscle strains, sports injuries, soreness, overuse, and restricted mobility.
May include: acupuncture, Tuina (Chinese therapeutic massage), and/or Gua Sha — chosen for your condition.
2. Chronic Pain, Stress & Nervous System Support
For persistent pain and muscle tension, headaches, TMJ and jaw/neck/shoulder tension, stress-related tension, sleep difficulties, and fatigue — especially when pain, injury, or stress has made it hard to relax.
May include: acupuncture, acupressure, Tuina, Gua Sha, and breathing/relaxation techniques, as appropriate.
3. Facial Acupuncture & Natural Rejuvenation
A natural, non-invasive approach to facial rejuvenation, relaxation, and self-care — for people who want to look rested without injectables.
May include: facial acupuncture, gentle facial massage, and Gua Sha.
Meet your practitioner: Jing Luo
Jing Luo is a registered acupuncturist and Traditional Chinese Medicine practitioner — regulated in Ontario, which means formal training, board registration, and a scope of practice held to professional standards.
She recently hosted the International Traditional Chinese Medicine Conference in Toronto, and brings that depth of training to every treatment: a full TCM assessment at your first visit, an honest opinion about whether acupuncture is right for you, and a clear plan if it is.
She sees patients at Agility on Wednesday evenings and Saturday mornings — hours built for people who can't get away during the workday.

Why have acupuncture at a physiotherapy clinic?
Because pain rarely has one cause — and one perspective isn't always enough.
Registered practitioner
Jing Luo is a registered acupuncturist and TCM practitioner — regulated, trained, and held to professional standards.
Pairs with physiotherapy
Stuck at a plateau with physio? Acupuncture can complement your plan — and our clinicians can coordinate on the same patient, with your consent.
Questions we hear a lot
"Does acupuncture hurt?"
Not the way you'd expect. Acupuncture needles are about as thick as a human hair — nothing like a syringe. Most people feel a brief tingling or dull ache when a needle is placed, then very little at all. The most common report after a session is "I didn't want to get up."
"How is this different from the dry needling my physio does?"
Different tools, different maps of the body. Dry needling targets trigger points in muscles, usually as one piece of a physiotherapy session. Acupuncture works from a Traditional Chinese Medicine diagnosis — meridian patterns, pulse and tongue assessment — and treats a wider range of concerns, from pain to sleep to digestion. They can complement each other well.
"How many sessions will I need?"
It depends on the condition. Recent, straightforward pain sometimes responds in a handful of sessions; chronic or complex issues usually take longer — often weekly visits for several weeks, then tapering. You'll get an honest estimate at your 75-minute intake, and your plan gets reassessed as you go.
"Is acupuncture covered by insurance?"
Most extended health plans that include acupuncture cover treatment by a registered acupuncturist — and Jing Luo is one. We direct-bill most major insurers, so bring your plan details and we'll confirm your coverage before you commit to a plan.
"Is there anyone who shouldn't get acupuncture?"
Acupuncture is very safe in trained hands, but there are precautions — certain points are avoided in pregnancy, and blood-thinning medication or bleeding conditions need to be discussed. Your consultation covers all of this before any needles come out.
A note on the Wednesday/Saturday schedule
Jing Luo sees patients two days a week — Wednesday evenings and Saturday mornings. Those slots fill steadily, so if you're deciding, booking early in the week gives you the best choice of times. Starting November 1.
