Acupuncture
Acupuncture involves inserting fine needles at specific meridian points to stimulate the body's natural healing processes. This evidence-based treatment effectively addresses chronic pain, musculoskeletal conditions, and stress-related disorders. Patients often experience immediate relief with cumulative benefits from multiple sessions.
Traditional Chinese Medicine
Our TCM approach combines diagnostic techniques with tailored treatment plans addressing both symptoms and underlying imbalances. This holistic system treats conditions like arthritis, digestive disorders, and hormonal imbalances through integrated therapies and lifestyle recommendations.
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy
Delivered by BABCP-accredited therapist Julie Forrest, our CBT programme addresses anxiety, depression, and trauma-related conditions. This evidence-based psychological therapy helps patients develop coping strategies and improve mental wellbeing through structured sessions.
Chinese Massage
Tui Na massage uses traditional Chinese techniques to relieve muscular tension, improve circulation, and address sports injuries. This therapeutic treatment complements acupuncture for musculoskeletal conditions and stress management.
