Acupuncture is a Traditional Chinese Medical modality used for thousands of years with its usage continuing to spread all around the world. With very few complications and minimal pain when administered by a qualified practitioner, it is able to alleviate and treat several health conditions and maintain optimal health.

Acupuncture is a non-invasive technique which involves inserting a single-use metallic needle, as thin as your hair, into the skin of specific points lying on the body. These needles are then stimulated with the hand or electrically to generate a ‘de qi’ sensation, a feeling of tingling, dull-ache, throbbing or heaviness, which signifies the ‘awakening of Qi’, the precursor to initiating or maintaining the body’s homeostasis.

As a holistic complementary therapy, each client is diagnosed and treated as an individual to cater for each of their own overall state of health. Such commonly addressed conditions include:

• Maintaining general wellbeing, Boosting the immune system
• Cold and Flu
• Headaches
• Musculoskeletal conditions: Stiff neck, Tennis/Golf elbows, Sciatica, Arthritis ,Sprains, Strains, other muscle and joint conditions
• Digestive conditions
• Weight loss
• Female reproductive conditions
• Stress, Depression
• Fatigue
