Acupuncture
I am a qualified and licensed Acupuncturist. Acupuncture is an aspect of Oriental Medicine based on the theory that ‘Chi’, the body’s own life energy flows via 12 bi-lateral meridians which are connected like an electrical circuit. Good health equates to a nice even flow of energy along these channels. Blockages in these channels are thought to cause pain and or illness in the body. Application of Acupuncture needles along these meridians are thought to clear the blockages, restore the flow of energy and reduce musculoskeletal pain.
MENTAL HEALTH
Massage has been proven to increase our ‘feel good’ chemicals Dopamine, Serotonin in the body and to reduce Cortisol levels.
It induces relaxation, relieves stress, aids sleep, improves mood, relieves anxiety, and promotes a sense of general well-being.
Massage is a useful tool in pain management.
