About Sungwoon

Shawn specializes in both Orthopedic and Traditional Chinese Medicine acupunture techniques. He seamlessly blends these approaches to offer advanced and evidence-based treatment for soft tissue injuries. Shawn’s signature method is a combination of deep-tissue/acupressure massage, cupping, and electro-acupuncture, which has been proven to provide quicker and longer-lasting results. In addition, he also employs a balancing acupuncture technique to restore balance between the energies of meridians, correcting malfunctions in internal organs, hormones, and nervous systems. With a wealth of experience and positive reviews, Shawn is also adept at treating gynecological and pre- and post-partum issues. Dedicated to providing the best possible care, Shawn takes the time to thoroughly understand each patient’s health concerns, delivering a clear and accurate diagnosis, as well as effective treatments. Patients consistently report feeling comfortable during their acupuncture treatment experiences, due to Shawn’s gentle touch and meticulous approach. Born and raised in South Korea before settling in North Vancouver, Shawn is fluent in both English and Korean. He is a proud father of three children and enjoys spending time with his family, playing baseball in local leagues, and exploring the beautiful hiking trails of North Vancouver. ###Therapist Qualifications### * Registered Acupuncturist, Registered Chinese Medicine Herbalist in B.C Canada * Proficients in TCM and Orthopedic Acupuncture in combination with electro-acupuncture and cupping techniques. * Proficients in Tuina/Acupressure/Sports Massages

I had a very positive experience with Shawn during my acupuncture treatment. He is highly skilled, professional, and knowledgeable in his work. He took the time to listen carefully, explain the treatment, and make sure I felt comfortable throughout the session. I truly appreciate his care, patience, and attention to detail. The treatment was very helpful, and I’m grateful for his support during my recovery process. Thank you, Shawn, for your excellent care and professionalism.
