Acupuncture is an ancient form of healing, practiced throughout China for thousands of years. It balances the Yin and Yang energies within our body to prevent disease and maintain health.
Our body constantly strives to heal itself naturally. However, sometimes it becomes overloaded, as a result of either Overwork, Emotional upset, Injury, Illness, or Poor diet. This leads to a depletion or blockage in our bodies energy, Qi (pronounced Chee), leading to injuries or health problems.
By inserting fine, sterile needles in and around these blocked areas, your practitioner can relieve and restore this flow of Qi, supporting and stimulating the body’s own healing mechanisms to regain your fitness and energy.
What does it treat?
Acupuncture points and channels can be found all over the body and each one has a particular function and action. Your practitioner has been fully trained in how to locate and utilize these points to your best advantage, choosing the most effective ones for your condition. As these points cover the whole body this means that Acupuncture doesn’t just treat “bad backs”, in fact almost any medical complaint or common ailment can be treated using Acupuncture.
The core principles of Acupuncture are to treat you as an individual, tailoring your treatment specifically towards your needs. I believe everyone deserves a chance to reach his or her full potential in life.
In general Acupuncture is brilliant at helping your body to cope with life's ups and downs. It strives to maintain balance between your Yin and Yang energies, keeping you Healthy Happy, and full of Vitality
