According to Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) positive health relies upon the
smooth and balanced flow of energy or Qi (pronounced 'chee') throughout the body. Many factors can cause
a disturbance in the flow of Qi including physical trauma, emotions such as anger,
sadness or anxiety as well as lifestyle factors such as poor diet, stress and overwork.
Acupuncture and oriental massage techniques aim to relieve energy blockages and
help restore balance to the body and mind.
Acupuncture and Oriental Massage have been shown to effectively treat a range of
illnesses, please see treatment pages for more details. They are also excellent
for muscular and joint problems especially when used as a combination treatment.
However you don't need to be 'ill' to benefit from these therapies! They are an
excellent means of strengthening the constitution and improving an overall sense
of well-being. Regular treatment can be used for health promotion and prevention
of illness.
If you have any concerns or are simply unsure whether acupuncture or massage treatments
could help you then please feel free to call and arrange a free 15 minute informal
