About Us
read moreWe've been professional Acupuncturists since 2001. We practice an integrated approach to health, which means using traditional techniques from Chinese medicine and modern scientific understanding to keep ourselves and our patients healthy. We are happy to work alongside Doctors and other therapists (such as Osteopaths, Physiotherapists, Personal Trainers etc.) to gain maximum effect and the best results possible for patients. Important in our approach to treating patients is our consideration of their overall wellbeing.
Faq
read moreWe usually recommend an initial booking of three to five treatments, before assessing how best to continue. Some conditions require just the one session, others a further group of four, whilst some long term conditions require continual ongoing treatment. In the UK, the best way to find a good quality Acupuncturist is to check where they were educated and for how long. The best teaching institutions in the UK usually teach 3 year long courses and the courses are accredited by the BAAB (The British Accreditation Board), sometimes awarding a Degree (BSc, or MSc) on completion.
Treatments
read moreAcupuncture can be used as a standalone treatment, or in conjunction with other therapies. It takes into account the whole person and helps activate each patient's natural healing processes as well as restoring their physical and emotional well-being. It's not always possible to get to a clinic to have a treatment, so the next best thing is to have a video call with a professional who can, not only talk you through, but show you how you may be able to help yourself. Qigong: for health, gentle, slow exercise designed to improve your joints, muscles, breathing, immune system and calm the mind.
