Acupuncture
Members of the British Acupuncture Council (BAcC) practise acupuncture based on Chinese medicine principles that have been researched and refined for over 2,000 years. The first acupuncturists developed a comprehensive system of diagnosis based on detailed observation of the human body. Without the help of modern scientific equipment, the first acupuncturists discovered many now familiar aspects of biomedical science, such as the impact of emotional stress on the body.
Craniosacral Therapy
As with many holistic therapies, Craniosacral Therapy has affinities with other ancient healing practices. The Visionary Approach to Craniosacral Work is to help create an open heart, a clear head and a free body.
Holistic Massage
Reflexology can reduce stress by stimulating points on the feet to help bring balance into our body. Meridians that flow through all of us can become blocked and can manifest into dis-ease.
Deep Tissue Massage
Deep tissue massage uses slow and firm strokes and pressure, that concentrates on particular areas, and follows or goes across the fibres of muscles and tendons. It tends to tackle particular physical, muscular problems. Unlike other massage techniques that focus on relaxation, deep tissue massage helps to treat muscle pain and improve stiffness. But it can still help to you unwind mentally, too.
Sports Massage
Sports massage is a form of bodywork, helping prevent injuries, to prepare the body for athletic activity, maintain it in optimal condition, and to help athletes and people practising sports to recover from workouts and injuries. It is performed with slow, deep movements, applying passive and active stretching, myofascial release, PNF and neuro-muscular-technique.
Tuina Massage
Tui na is the grandmother of all massage forms dating right back to 2700 BC. It is based on the principles of Chinese Medicine. It is sometimes called Acupuncture without the needles.
Indian Head Massage
IHM is performed seated and dressed. It relaxes the scalp and manipulates soft tissues of shoulders, neck and upper back. A range of different massage pressures and rhythms will be used to stimulate the head and neck area.
Reflexology
Reflexology can reduce stress by stimulating points on the feet to help bring balance into our body. Meridians that flow through all of us can become blocked and can manifest into dis-ease.
Reiki
Reiki is a healing energy which can be used to treat the whole person including Body, Emotions, Mind and Spirit or focus on specific problems.
Chinese Herbal Medicine
Chinese herbal medicine is part of a larger healing system called traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), which also includes acupuncture, massage dietary advice and exercise.
Stop Smoking
If you are trying to quit smoking, auricular acupuncture is a natural way to help you curb your craving for nicotine. Acupuncture, along with Chinese herbs and, or hypnotherapy, may not be as well-known as nicotine patches or gum. But they all can offer relief, especially in the acute phase of withdrawal when you’re wrestling with fatigue, irritability and gnawing cravings.
Cupping
Cupping is used to relieve back and neck pains, stiff muscles, anxiety, fatigue, migraines, rheumatism, and even cellulite. For weight loss and cellulite treatments, oil is first applied to the skin, and then the cups are moved up and down the surrounding area.
Guasha
The benefits of Gua sha are numerous. It resolves spasms and pain, and promotes normal circulation of blood and fluids to the muscles, tissues, and organs directly beneath the area that is treated, as seen in Gua sha’s immediate effect on coughing and wheezing. The patient experiences immediate changes in stiffness and pain with increased mobility.
Moxibustion
Moxibustion is an essential part of Chinese medicine which uses moxa, a soft woolly substance prepared from mugwort leaves (Artemisia vulgaris). In moxibustion the moxa is placed either directly on the skin or held just above it, over specific acupuncture points or meridians. The herb is lit and as it smoulders slowly, a therapeutic heat permeates the skin and affects the flow of "qi"(energy) and blood in the area being treated.
Physiotherapy
Physiotherapy helps restore movement and function when someone is affected by injury, illness or disability.
