Traditional Chinese Acupuncture

According to traditional Chinese philosophy, our health is dependent on the body's motivating energy - known as qi - moving in a smooth and balanced way through a series of meridians (channels) beneath the skin. The flow of qi can be disturbed by many factors, physical, mental and emotional: anxiety, stress, anger, fear or grief, poor nutrition, weather conditions, hereditary factors, infections, poisons and trauma. By inserting fine needles into the channels, an acupuncturist can stimulate the body's own healing response and help to restore its natural balance.

Traditional Chinese Acupuncture is effective at treating a wide range of physiological and psychological imbalances, illnesses and disharmonies. It is well known as a means of pain relief, very successful in the treatment of backache, joint problems, tennis elbow, migraines, and menstrual pain. Innately balancing, acupuncture is effective at increasing energy levels, regulating hormonal function, and combating psychological disharmonies such as stress, addiction and depression. Traditional acupuncture considers all illnesses in terms of imbalances of energy. Therefore, acupuncture benefits almost any condition, and can be used as a preventative measure to maintain health and internal harmony.

How much will this cost?

The initial one-hour Acupuncture assessment and treatment costs £50. Your therapist will then advise you as to how many sessions you may need. Typical follow-up sessions last 45 minutes and cost £47, or 30 minutes costing £38.
