A Traditional healing therapy
Traditional Chinese Acupuncture is a healing system originating in the Far East and has been practised for more than 2,000 years. The focus of acupuncture treatment is on improving the overall well being of the patient, rather than the isolated treatment of specific symptom.
Traditional Chinese philosophy tells us that our health is dependent on the body’s motivating energy, known as Qi, this energy moves in a harmonised way through a series of meridians beneath the skin.
Through the insertion of ultra fine sterile disposable needles into the meridians, your acupuncturist aims to ensure that the Qi continues flowing in its harmonised path thus stimulating the body’s natural healing response.
