Our Acupuncture and Sports Massage Services
Acupuncture: Your
Consultation
Your Consultation (normally around one and a
half hours) is your first visit and your symptoms
will be discussed in great detail to allow the
Acupuncturist to learn about your problem, your general
health and your conventional medical history.
Your pulse is taken and an examination carried out. Your responses and the practitioner's observations are then used to construct a “treatment plan” tailored for you and your needs. The number of “follow on” treatments you are likely to need will be discussed and this agreed between you and your practitioner. Individuals will have different treatment plans.
Acupuncture: What happens during treatment?
Treatment involves the insertion of very fine
stainless steel needles (hygienically prepared and sealed
in packets prior to use) at very particular points on your
body.
Other techniques (massage, electro acupuncture
or acupressure) may be suggested by the practitioner.
Sometimes a treatment uses smouldering moxa, a
herb, (in moxibustion) to warm the needles, or
cupping perhaps may be suggested, (where suction cups are
applied to the body).
Sports Massage
Sports Massage involves the
application of pressure (by kneading, rubbing or traction)
to help ease musculo-skeletal problems.
What is Sports Massage?
Sports Massage is a combination of manual Techniques and deep massage that may loosen up tight muscles, tendons, and superficial ligaments.
