Acupuncture
Acupuncture is part of the ancient practice of traditional Chinese Medicine. According to recent research, acupuncture points are believed to stimulate the central nervous system, causing a release of chemicals into the muscles, spinal cord and brain. These changes may induce the body to create a healing response and promote emotional and physical well being
My approach to acupuncture incorporates traditional based techniques and theories combined with anatomy and physiology, sports medicine and visceral & neural manipulatiuon as taught at the Barral institute
During treatment I may use moxabustion (the application of heat), gentle muscle release techniques, therapeutic massage, joint mobilizations or cupping, or visceral and neural manipulation depending on the presenting condition
