The human body is the vehicle which provides the foundation for our life. A strong and balanced body provides the capacity for all aspects of our lives to be in harmony. When the body is out of harmony, the internal organs, and their respective energy channels, lose their balancing and nurturing qualities. East Asian medicine focuses on bringing these qualities back into harmony.
Acupuncture treatments focus firstly on identifying where the disharmonies in our physical body are. Then a treatment strategy is able to be made, based on specific diagnostic techniques, which have highlighted the “root cause” of the disharmony the patient is presenting with. In most cases these areas of disharmony include blood and energy stagnation, which prevent the intrinsic natural healing powers of the body from being activated.
Specific “Acupuncture points” along the affected energy channels will be selected, which have the capacity to bring a positive change in the physical, mental and emotional aspect of the person’s life.
In the gentle style of Acupuncture of this clinic, we use very fine disposable needles, which ensure your treatment will be both comfortable and safe. The treatment will bring about an immediate change in the body dynamic, as soon as the needles have been inserted. This means that the specific body reflexes, used as part of the diagnostic process, will have responded positively to the selected Acupuncture points being stimulated. As a patient, you will usually be able to notice these changes straight away.
It is my objective as an Acupuncture practitioner, that the healing session you experience be both pain free and enjoyable. The treatment process will be clearly explained to you, both prior to receiving treatment and also during the Acupuncture session. An overall treatment plan will be explained to you, highlighting the importance of follow-up treatments, if required, to maximise the effectiveness of the treatments you receive.
All of the treatments given in the clinic are adapted to the specific needs of individuals. Treatments focus on removing tension from the musculoskeletal and nerve systems of the body, which will improve the micro blood circulation of the body, and in so doing assist in integrating the physical form with the mental / emotional aspects of the person seeking treatment.
This accentuates the ability of the body to enter into a deeper state of relaxation where deeper healing can take place. “Healing” occurs when the natural healing powers of the body are enhanced and any treatment will focus on removing the blockages / imbalances which are preventing the body from finding its natural rhythm and harmony.
Treatments typically last for one hour in this clinic. This provides enough time for an accurate diagnosis to be made and the subsequent treatment time to be effective. Nothing is rushed during this process as guiding you back to optimum health and well-being is our primary concern.
