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.
Gua Sha is a traditional therapeutic technique used within Chinese Medicine. It involves gently applying a smooth Gua Sha tool to the skin using repeated, controlled strokes, usually after a small amount of oil has been applied to the area.
The technique is traditionally used to stimulate circulation and release areas of muscular tension. It can be particularly useful for working on smaller or more superficial areas of the body, making it a complementary treatment to acupuncture and other Chinese Medicine techniques.
During treatment, the skin may become temporarily red or develop small areas of bruising. This is a normal response and usually fades naturally within a few days.
Gua Sha is generally a gentle and relaxing treatment, and the technique and pressure are adapted to suit each individual.
