Chinese Medicine takes a holistic approach, focusing on the whole person. Following a thorough initial consultation, each treatment is tailored to individual needs and circumstances.
Acupuncture is a gentle treatment using sterile, single-use, hair-thin needles. Where appropriate, treatment may also include complementary techniques such as Tui Na, Cupping, Gua Sha and Moxibustion.
These techniques may be used individually or in combination to support your overall health, balance and wellbeing.
Cupping is a traditional therapeutic technique used within Chinese Medicine and other traditional healing systems. It involves placing glass or silicone cups on the skin and creating gentle suction.
The suction lifts the skin and superficial tissues, which may encourage local circulation and create a soothing, massage-like sensation. Cups can be left in place for a short period or gently moved across the skin, depending on the individual and the purpose of treatment.
Cupping can be particularly relaxing and is often used as part of a treatment to help ease muscular tension, stiffness and feelings of physical tightness. It can also be a useful complement to acupuncture and other Chinese Medicine techniques.
