phobic, please don’t hesitate to mention it as there are many other forms of
treatment.
A questionnaire will need to be filled out on the first visit,
so feel free to turn up a few minutes early to save time.

Chinese Medicine
is first and foremost based on preventative measures. This provides the knowledge for injury prevention and
management.
Through the
diagnosis we can determine the body’s weaknesses, which will invariably lead to further problems or pain. By
applying the appropriate treatment, it can keep a person healthy, focused and active. This can dramatically
reduce the amount of lost working hours and income due to sickness. It also enables athletes to recover from
soreness and injuries as well as improve endurance levels.
Chinese
Medicine treats the body as a whole. Excessive stress can lead to a wide range of physical and mental problems,
including organ and muscular dysfunction (examples are Irritable Bowel Sydrome (IBS) and Sciatica). With
specialised treatments and advice, these and many other conditions can be easily
treated.
Each treatment is tailored to the individual and works well for
many ailments. A range of techniques are often used during one treatment.
