The Therapy Directory

Acupuncture is just one aspect of traditional Chinese medicine has been practised for more than 2000 years in many countries. It is a gentle holistic therapy with proven efficacy for many conditions, without side effects. Therapists insert very fine needles to stimulate specific points or “acupoints” along the body.

It can be useful for all conditions, as its focus is on the person, not only on the symptoms. An acupuncturist will aim to harmonise  the physical and emotional aspects plus rebalance the body's flow of energy - or Qi - to stimulate its natural healing process that constitute health and well-being.

As with all treatments, a full consultation should be completed with a qualified therapist to ensure that acupuncture is right for you.
