Acupuncture

Acupuncture is one of the oldest systems of medicine, which views illness or injury as a sign of imbalance within the body. There could be many reasons for this, but commonly it is connected to aspects of lifestyle such as physical and emotional stress, poor nutrition, lack of exercise or poor sleep.

Acupuncture, beautifully and simply, seeks to redress that balance. Ultra-fine sterile needles are gently inserted into specific points on the body in order to restore stability and allow the body to naturally right itself. Acupuncture treatments are tailored to each individual, making them as unique as you. It is suitable for all ages and can be safely considered for a wide range of common health problems. A course of treatment will be complemented by lifestyle advice on aspects such as sleep, managing stress and diet, thus supporting you in a complete and rounded way.

Needle-free treatments (cupping, gua sha, moxibustion)

The ancient art of cupping has been used for thousands of years to ease pain. It involves placing suction cups on the body to increase circulation and blood flow to painful areas which in turn stimulates the natural healing process. If we feel cupping would be of benefit, we will discuss this with you and it will be offered as part of your treatment. Cupping can also be used as a stand-alone therapy alongside other needle-free modalities such as Gua Sha, moxibustion and heat therapy.
