We pride ourselves on the customer service we deliver, and will ensure that you are put at ease throughout, talking you through the whole process from start to finish.

Many people are put off by treatments they don’t know much about, but read on as we give you a guide to acupuncture.

What it is?

A traditional Chinese therapy, acupuncture works on the principle that we have energy, called qi, flowing through our body. The Chinese believe that when this energy can’t flow freely through your body, you are more susceptible to illness and disease. As a result, the treatment is designed to elevate any disruption in your qi to allow it to flow with ease.

How does it work?

Using a variety of thin needles, your acupuncturist will penetrate the skin at a range of stimulating points on your body; this will relieve pressure and will correct any imbalance in the flow of your qi.

Does it hurt?

This is a commonly asked question when it comes to acupuncture because of the fear many have of needles, however pain is only felt when things penetrate the outer layer of your skin, and you can rest assured that because we have years of experience in carrying out this treatment, you will feel little to no pain.
