Not only that, but it also is used to help you from the inside out, helping to ease your mind of such things as stress, anxiety and insomnia. https://www.balanceandflowacupuncture.co.uk/acupuncture daily 0.75 2021-08-11 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f89c04e30026f26127f89c9/1605101591651-7GQHQU6LL306ID2MCW74/Acu_2+copy.jpg Acupuncture - The focus for a traditional acupuncturist is on the patient as an individual and not just their specific illness, and all symptoms are seen as part of an interconnected pattern. Treatment involves the insertion of very fine needles and or applying heat to specific acupuncture points which are said to affect the flow of your body’s qi (pronounced ‘Chee’), or vital energy through the body and over its surface via channels, often called meridians. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f89c04e30026f26127f89c9/1605101541240-54AD4DK5UOB5LY60HOYI/Acu_1+copy.jpg Acupuncture - A growing body of evidence-based clinical research is discovering how the body responds to acupuncture and its benefits for a wide range of common health conditions. Many people have acupuncture to relieve specific aches and pains such as osteoarthritis of the knee, TMJ pain, headaches and low back pain, or for common health problems such as anxiety and stress, menopausal symptoms or insomnia. Other people choose acupuncture when they can feel their bodily functions are out of balance but have no obvious western medical diagnosis leading to western medical treatment. https://www.balanceandflowacupuncture.co.uk/what-to-expect daily 0.75 2020-11-16 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f89c04e30026f26127f89c9/1605101866003-JW3MY2P0PTNZNG3PN1RM/Pulse.jpg What to Expect - What to Expect On Your Visit Your initial visit will take up to two hours and consists of a personal and medical consultation covering your family history, lifestyle, systems functions (eg. sleep, appetite) and full details of your current complaint/s and any test or investigations that you have had. You will also have the opportunity to discuss in complete confidence any concerns or troubles you may currently be dealing with. After your consultation I will carry out a number of short non-invasive physical diagnostic tests including blood pressure, temperature distribution and pulse taking. In most cases, aside from the most complex, this is then followed by your first treatment. Subsequent appointments take up to one hour, and include discussion of your progress and your treatment to date. https://www.balanceandflowacupuncture.co.uk/book-a-class daily 0.75 2020-10-28 https://www.balanceandflowacupuncture.co.uk/moxibustion daily 0.75 2020-11-16 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f89c04e30026f26127f89c9/1605102035721-70SSBB6BF1Y2TX7JDIKE/Moxi_1.jpg Moxibustion - What is Moxibustion? This is a treatment that uses a dried, medicinal herb called mugwort or ‘Moxa’ in Japanese. It is rolled into a cone or burnt directly over acupuncture points. It may be used on its own or prior to needling a point and generates a penetrating and nourishing warmth. https://www.balanceandflowacupuncture.co.uk/professional-bodies daily 0.75 2020-11-17 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f89c04e30026f26127f89c9/1603209451150-8C9LBDBIAHU84UPO3Q7P/BAcC_Member_Pos_RGB-300x141.png Professional Bodies https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f89c04e30026f26127f89c9/1603209511650-PG0JZOLRVF1GM0J4OH7Z/Accredited-Registers-mark-large-300x212.jpg Professional Bodies https://www.balanceandflowacupuncture.co.uk/testimonials daily 0.75 2020-11-17 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f89c04e30026f26127f89c9/1605103007210-A3UQA4SC4UKNHFUOEUIU/Test_1.jpg Testimonials I visited Claire for help with recurring anxiety and panic attacks. Claire immediately put me at ease; she is the friendliest and most empathetic therapist I’ve ever visited. Within the space of a few treatments my anxiety levels had reduced to a fraction of what they were and have remained low even 12 months later. I am certainly an advocate for using acupuncture to help with mental health issues. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f89c04e30026f26127f89c9/1605103189956-I4NIXTE9FIUZDT8NUIG8/Test_2.jpg Testimonials - I had lived with an extremely poor sleep pattern for around ten years and decided to ask Claire if she could help with the issue. I noticed a positive difference in my sleep pattern from the first appointment and this improvement in duration and reduction in night-time waking has been maintained during, and since, the treatment course. I would say that I have gained an extra 50% of sleep time which has made a huge difference to me. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f89c04e30026f26127f89c9/1605103936306-SZHY3L8V16PIYJDC5MIW/Test_3.jpg Testimonials I sought help from Claire for pain in my hands and general feelings of overwhelm. Claire is professional, thorough and considerate in her practice. The pains in my hands went after our sessions and the acupuncture helped me to feel calmer and more resilient. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f89c04e30026f26127f89c9/1605104261160-CSS00JW3Z8K3MLHT1MQ2/Test_5.jpg Testimonials Acupuncture continues to help my state of mind and anxiety. Claire is very gentle and patient. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f89c04e30026f26127f89c9/1605104023447-CUWJRVSSU4JLQVI1289V/Test_4.jpg Testimonials I have been seeing Claire for acupuncture for approximately 12 months. I suffer from Raynaud’s and hormone imbalances. Not only is Claire very professional but also understanding. During lockdown I really noticed a negative difference as I had to stop my treatments, since starting back up I am again realising the benefits. I 100% recommend the services. You won’t be disappointed. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f89c04e30026f26127f89c9/1605110511170-MNQJWMXX5L5S62RUQAF8/Test_6+copy.jpg Testimonials Claire is a kind, consistent and careful therapist who took time to get to know and understand my needs. https://www.balanceandflowacupuncture.co.uk/news daily 0.75 2020-11-17 https://www.balanceandflowacupuncture.co.uk/privacy-policy daily 0.75 2021-07-06
