Emotional and physical stresses can underly many of our health concerns. Treatment is based on the East Asian method of addressing the root causes of disharmony and imbalance within the body in order to help restore harmony to mind and body. Acupuncture therapy is seen by many as a ‘top-up’ when feeling ‘out of sync’ and ‘out of balance’ – much of this is felt without obvious diagnosis and can leave us feeling adrift when it comes to presenting our concerns to healthcare professionals. Acupuncture can reduce muscle tension, relieve pain, whilst also releasing endorphins to lessen anxiety and focus the mind.
