Acupuncture

Developed in China about 2500 years ago, Acupuncture is becoming increasingly popular in the West as a mainstream complementary therapy.

According to ancient Chinese philosophy, good health depends on the smooth flow of energy or 'Qi' throughout the body. By inserting fine needles into specific points, the Acupuncturist is able to restore harmony to a person's Qi, thus enabling the body to heal itself.

A sense of wellbeing is often felt following a course of treatment, because the whole person is taken into account when diagnosing and treating holistically. Good diet, lifestyle and exercise are also considered important to maintain optimum health, so advice is given.
