ACUPUNCTURE
How it works:
• activates the parasympathetic nervous system and puts our body into a complete state of rest and balance.
• treatments have been formulated and chosen for their effectiveness to treat a variety of conditions, while also helping you reach a deep state of relaxation.
• increases blood flow which triggers the body’s natural pain relieving endorphins and neurotransmitters including serotonin and dopamine into the muscles, spinal cord and brain, decreasing pain responses in the body.
• promotes local and systemic blood circulation and speeds the healing of inflammation which helps a variety of health conditions.
• the stimulus from the needles creates a cascade of signalling throughout the connective tissue (fascia) into the blood, nerve fibres and immune system.
• acupuncture points are located in areas with higher concentrations of superficial nerves, blood vessels and neuromuscular attachments.
• each treatment is tailored specifically to suit the individual client and their presenting symptoms.
• other modalities such as cupping and moxibustion may be used as part of the acupuncture treatment depending on the presenting symptoms.
• 1 hour £45 - £50
