Our Registered Acupuncturists
Robin Hsu, R. Ac
Robin graduated from Canadian Institute of Traditional Chinese Medicine in 2019. He is an active member of the CAA and AAATCMD.
Robin chose to become an Acupuncturist because he likes help people through a holistic and natural way or alternative way from modern western medicine, and work alongside western medicine to help people heal with their body's natural components. Acupuncture and herbal therapy is an interesting study of medicine which incorporates the body's natural ability to heal on its own. Robin uses different techniques such as graston, cupping, Tui Na, electro therapy, auricular acupuncture, musculoskeletal, MVA, and hormonal balances.
Robin, when not working with his clients, enjoys playing sports (basketball, volleyball, baseball), hiking, water activities and hanging out with friends and family.
