Stress and Anxiety

In our modern-day lives we all experience stress and anxiety to some degree.  If this becomes chronic however, our heightened nervous system can lead to heat and inflammation in the body, hampering its ability to function effectively

Many common problems experienced today are therefore caused or exacerbated by stress and high cortisol levels.

Acupuncture, by calming the nervous system and facilitates deep relaxation, aids the body’s natural ability to heal and repair itself

Easing Pain

 

 

Acupuncture’s ability to manage and improve painful conditions is now well researched and accepted.

 

It can reduce muscular spasms, improve blood circulation and has a local and systemic anti-inflammatory effect on the body.  By calming the nervous system it also manages our experience of pain in chronic cases

 

 

 

 

The addition of Cupping, Gua Sha and Shiatsu Massage can increase the effectiveness of an Acupuncture treatment. 

A combination of these skills is therefore my treatment of choice for musculoskeletal problems and chronic pain.

  • Low Back Pain
  • Neck & Shoulder Pain
  • Sciatica
  • Frozen Shoulder / Tennis elbow
  • Headache & Migraine
  • Menstrual Pain

If these reserves become depleted or the Qi and Blood lack flow, this can have a profound effect on a women's menstrual cycle and her sense of wellbeing
