Acupuncture involves the use of fine needles either shallowly inserted or simply held at specific acupuncture points around the body to harmonise the circulation of ‘Qi’ and blood, this in turn leads to improved vitality and better health.

Treatment time is generally around 30-45 minutes (please allow up to an hour for the initial consultation), after which if possible you should try to refrain from anything too strenuous and let the effects of the treatment sink in. Changes are not always apparent immediately though most often there is a sense of relaxation and increased vitality. The effects build up with increasing treatments and it is usually advisable to consider a course of treatments, though some acute problems can be resolved after one or two sessions.
