[**Announcement: So-Jung's New RMT Rate** *effectively on April 20,2026.*](https://mailchi.mp/f912998478c0/announcement-so-jung-kim-rmt-rac)

**About**

I am a dual-licensed Registered Massage Therapist (RMT) and Registered Acupuncturist (R.Ac)

practicing in Vancouver.

I provide integrated care that combines clinical assessment, hands-on manual therapy, and

Eastern medicine principles to help improve movement, reduce pain, and support the whole-body

regulation. Treatment decisions are based on your clinical presentation, goals, and response to

care, with a focus on measurable progress.

I prioritize clear communication and shared decision-making throughout your recovery. I also

maintain ongoing advanced clinical training in the Doctor of Traditional Chinese Medicine

(DTCM) program.

**How to Choose Between RMT and Acupuncture**

**Choose RMT** if your main goal is improved mobility, reduced pain, and movement-based

rehabilitation.

**Choose acupuncture** if your goals include pain modulation, nervous system regulation, stress

and sleep support, or whole-person regulation alongside local care.

**Not sure** which service is right for you? You can book either RMT or acupuncture. At your first

visit, we will assess your symptoms and goals, then recommend the most effective plan based

on your clinical findings.

**Booking Guidance for Ongoing Symptoms**

If your symptoms have been present for 4 weeks or longer, treatment often works best when

sessions are scheduled consistently. In many cases, I may recommend starting with 3 sessions

spaced about 1 week apart, depending on your presentation and goals. After your first visit, we

can decide together on the most appropriate treatment plan and adjust as needed.

**Product Sensitivity**

I typically do not use oil. I use Songbird beeswax-based balm and Saje products. If you have

allergies, scent sensitivities, or skin sensitivities, please let me know in advance so we can

adjust accordingly.
