Traditional Chinese Acupuncture

Alex Wood
Good acupuncture builds a connection between the body, emotions and mind: stimulating the bodies healing abilities. The aim of treatment is to reach the root cause of a problem. However to find the catalyst, a process of discussion, observation, treatment, perseverance and lifestyle changes may be necessary. For example this could involve
doing particular physical exercises, a change of eating habits, taking specific supplements and/ or herbs or looking at our relationships and how they effect us. Each of our health patterns are individual and unravelling the causes of a symptom and helping the body / mind to re balance is a unique process.
"Healing may not be so much about getting better, as about letting go everything that isn't you- all the expectations,all the beliefs- and becoming who you really are" Rachel Naomi Remen
Thus by nourishing and looking after ourselves we can reach our potential and live more fulfilling lives. This can deepen our relationships with our immediate family, friends and the wider community.

Acupuncture

Acupuncture improves the body's ability to heal and restore physical balance. Based on over 2000 years of research and development, Acupuncture originates from China and is now increasingly popular for treating a wide range of health problems :such as chronic pain, headaches, fertility issues, chronic fatigue and reduced immunity.

Chinese Herbal Medicine

Chinese Medicine (CM) is a part of the oldest continuously practised tradition of healing the world over, its written history dates back over 3,000 years. CM treats the root cause of a problem rather than just a symptom- ie a herbal formula (this is a combination of herbs) can strengthen the underlying health of the body while also treating and clearing the symptom. Sustained by centuries of empirical clinical evidence, CM has evolved into a complete and highly nuanced system that offers a coherent alternative to the western medicine’s view of how and why we get ill. CM is still used as a primary healthcare in much of South-East Asia and in state hospitals in China where it enjoys an equal and pragmatic relationship with the newer system of Western orthodox medicine.

Acupressure & Massage

Acupressure & Massage can be deeply relaxing: it is also especially beneficial for musco skeletal problems and sports injuries. Treatment activates movement along muscle groups and joints by using a variety of techniques that can vary from a very light surface touch to deep tissue massage. A sensitive approach always ensures the correct level of pressure is used, especially when patients are in extreme pain or are very sensitive. Acupressure Massage (called Tui Na in Chinese Medicine) can be offered alongside acupuncture and be done through loose clothing.

Cupping

Cupping is an extraordinary method that has been used for thousands of years. It is a suction technique that is designed to pull toxin build up and muscle spasm from the body's deeper tissue to the surface of the skin. It can be used alongside Acupressure and/or Acupuncture.
