Acupuncture
Acupuncture is an oriental healthcare treatment traditionally prescribed for pain relief, especially for muscular and back related disorders. Currently, in the West, it is also used to treat anxiety, sleep disturbance, depression and infertility.
Acupuncture involves the stimulation of points on the body by the insertion of very fine needles which are then manipulated manually or by electrical stimulation. It is accepted in the UK as a safe form of treatment when administered by qualified practitioners using sterile needles and carries a very low risk of adverse effects.
Diagnosis prior to the use of acupuncture is based upon observation of the patient and leads to a different prescription in every instance.
Tuina Massage
Tuina is a form of massage developed within Traditional Chinese Medicine. It used to treat both musculo-skeletal conditions and internal complaints such as headaches, anxiety, stress and related conditions
The treatment is non-invasive and designed to stimulate the body's Qi in a similar way to acupuncture and relies upon the massage of acupressure points which correspond to acupuncture points.
Tuina can be applied as a stand-alone treatment or in conjunction with acupuncture.
Thai Massage
Thai massage is a distinct form of massage which applies deep rhythmic pressure to the patient through the practitioner's hands and forearms. In some cases massaging with the feet may be involved to deliver a greater level of pressure.
