Why Acupuncture?
The art of acupuncture has been used for centuries and according to Traditional Chinese Medicine, good health depends on a balanced flow of energy through the body.
Pain and illness block the energy flow and by removing that blockage, it’s possible to restore the body’s natural equilibrium. This is achieved by the insertion of needles into the skin along the body’s energy channels, to allow the manipulation of the energy and restoration of its flow.
Acupuncture practitioners today combine the Traditional Chinese Medicine theory with a modern Western approach, where acupuncture needles are used to stimulate the sensory nerves that sit under the skin. This encourages the body to use its own natural resources, like endorphins and oxytocin.
By using the body’s natural chemicals, acupuncture helps relieve pain and stress, and aids the healing process. It can also help improve sleep patterns through the release of melatonin, and boost a sense of wellbeing by stimulating the release of serotonin.

I saw Amy for physio after shoulder surgery, and she was amazing! Amy tailored each session and genuinely cared throughout my recovery. The clinic itself was excellent. It was really comfortable, well-equipped, and welcoming.
