At Lian Acupoint Therapy in Somerset West, Cape Town, our Deep Tissue Acupoint Therapy is a gentle yet powerful treatment designed to reach deeper layers of muscle and connective tissue, without the use of needles. This therapy combines acupoint techniques, ultrasonic stimulation, and precise hands-on pressure to release chronic tension, improve circulation, and restore the body’s natural energy flow along the meridian network.
Unlike traditional deep tissue massage, this approach focuses on the body’s acupoints rather than broad muscle areas, helping to ease stiffness, loosen adhesions, and relieve pain where it begins. Each session is fully customised to your needs, blending myofascial acupoint release, trigger point therapy, and meridian balancing to help you move more freely, feel lighter, and maintain lasting wellness.
What is Deep Tissue Acupoint Therapy and why try it?​​​
Deep Tissue Acupoint Therapy
How Does Deep Tissue Acupoint Therapy Work ​
This treatment integrates the precision of acupoint therapy with the depth of structural massage. Lian works along the body’s meridians and deeper muscle layers, using firm, intentional strokes and ultrasonic acupoint stimulation to release tension held within the fascia.
By combining traditional deep tissue work with energy-focused techniques, this therapy eases chronic muscle stiffness, encourages lymphatic flow, and supports better posture and mobility. It’s ideal for those who experience ongoing tightness, stress-related tension, or the physical strain of daily activity.
What a session feels like?
During your session, Lian places a ultrasonic device directly on selected acupoints, using a gentle conductive gel or cream. You might feel a soft warmth or a light vibration as the ultrasonic waves work through the tissue. The treatment is point-specific, precise and comfortable.
The therapy is completely non-invasive, and the settings are always adjusted to suit your comfort.
What can I expect during a session?
A first appointment is a relaxed consultation and treatment. Lian will:
-
Review medical history and your main concerns.
-
Check posture, movement and meridian patterns (pulse/tongue where helpful).
-
Provide hands-on treatment: acupoint work, manual therapy and ultrasound if indicated.
Sessions are safe, non-invasive and tailored to each client. Many people feel immediate relief and steady improvement over a short course.

What is Ultrasonic Acupoint Therapy
Gentle, Deep, Non-Needle Acupoint Therapy
Your therapist, Lian, uses a conductive gel and a specialised ultrasonic device to deliver comfortable waves that soften tight muscles, boost local circulation and support natural clearing and recovery. It’s perfect if you prefer a non-needle approach or need targeted depth without discomfort — and every setting is adjusted to your comfort and needs.

Meridian Body System Explained
In Traditional Chinese Medicine, meridians are the body’s energy pathways linking organs, tissues and acupoints. When they’re blocked, you may feel pain, heaviness, poor sleep or sluggish digestion. By stimulating specific acupoints, we help restore energy flow, release local tension and support the body’s own healing rhythm.
