Acupuncture is a personalised treatment approach that involves the gentle insertion of very fine needles into specific points on the body. This traditional therapy is commonly used as part of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) to support the body’s natural balance and overall wellbeing.
In TCM philosophy, acupuncture is believed to help regulate the body’s energy flow — known as Qi (pronounced “chi”) — with the aim of encouraging harmony in the body’s systems.
Acupuncture is often sought out for:
- Supporting relaxation and managing everyday stress
- Addressing general aches and muscular tension
- Enhancing vitality and promoting balance in the body
- Complementing other health and lifestyle practices
While individual experiences vary, some people find acupuncture beneficial in managing:
- Feelings of stress or low mood
- Sleep disturbances
- Mild musculoskeletal discomfort (e.g. back, neck, shoulders)
- General fatigue
- Digestive discomfort
- Low energy
- A sense of imbalance or lack of focus
Acupuncture has been used for thousands of years and continues to be part of healthcare practices across the world. If you’re curious about how it might support your wellbeing, you’re welcome to book a session or get in touch to find out more.
