Acupuncture
-
Acupuncture sits within the Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) health field and has been used for thousands of years. Acupuncture consists of inserting fine needles (about the width of a human hair) into specific points on your skin. The goal is to restore balance and encourage the body to heal itself. Performed by a skilled practitioner – an acupuncturist – acupuncture can be a safe and effective treatment for a range of disorders.
In the most general sense, disease occurs when your Yin & Yang energies are out of balance, which can manifest as disharmony of your organ systems, digestion, hormone production, mental states and a dysfunction of a number of physiological systems. Acupuncture aims to harmonise these interdependent forces in order to ensure your energetic and physiological systems are functioning optimally.

Cosmetic Acupuncture
-
Cosmetic Acupuncture involves inserting specialised acupuncture needles into problem areas of the face in order to stimulate blood flow which increases the flow of nutrients, oxygen and hydration in the area leading to a reduction of fine lines and an improvement in skin tone and quality.
Additionally, the micro-trauma caused by needling increases collagen production by stimulating the body’s own healing response and promoting fibroblast cells to increase the production of collagen and elastin. When the body lays down collagen in the areas of wrinkles it gives the effect of filling them in.
When needling the face for cosmetic enhancement, a number of techniques can be used depending on the client's main cosmetic concerns. In general, the premise of Facial Cosmetic Acupucnture is to promote the circulation of Qi and Blood in order to influence the flow of nutrients and oxygen to the facial soft tissue as well as the removal of metabolic waste.
Cosmetic Acupuncture has a number of mechanisms underlying its effectiveness including balancing Qi, harmonising the Zang Fu (body organ systems), increasing blood flow at the site of needle insertion and increasing muscle tone.
As there are a range of intrinsic and extrinsic factors that influence the aging process, all Cosmetic Acupuncture treatments include constitutional body TCM acupuncture in order to treat your organism as a whole.

Electro Acupuncture
-
This type of acupuncture treatment is ideal for chronically weak and tight muscles, sports injuries, musculoskeletal pain, and other myofascial disorders.
Motor & Trigger Point Acupuncture merges traditional acupuncture principles with contemporary anatomical and neurophysiological understanding of muscle injuries and pain management. This style of Acupuncture is particularly useful in the management of both acute and chronic muscle injures and pain management.
Motor Point Acupuncture involves gently needling specialised points located within the muscle belly that conduct motor nerve impulses. Stimulating these points with gentle acupuncture needling or by running a small electric current to the area (aka Electro-acupuncture) can restore muscle function, regulate and improve range of motion and reduce pain whether localised or referred.

Myofascial Release Cupping
-
Cupping is a traditional Chinese medicine technique that offer a range of benefits and is effective in treating soft tissue injuries.
Cupping is particularly effective for addressing myofascial pain & tightness by increasing blood flow to affected areas, reducing muscle tension, and relaxing tight fascia. It also enhances overall circulation, which helps remove stagnant blood and toxins, supporting the body’s natural healing processes, thereby fast-tracking recovery times after an injury.
Additionally, cupping can bolster the immune system and reduce inflammation, contributing to improved joint and muscle function.
Gua Sha involves gently scraping the skin with a smooth-edged tool (usually made of jade), which boosts blood circulation and promotes the flow of Qi (energy). This technique is effective in releasing muscle tension, alleviating pain, and improving range of motion. Gua Sha also reduces inflammation and pain by stimulating the immune response and promoting lymphatic drainage, which aids in detoxification.
Together, Cupping & Gua Sha complement each other by enhancing energy flow, and supporting overall well-being. Integrating these therapies into your wellness routine can significantly improve your health, provide relief from various conditions, and promote a sense of vitality.
