Acupuncture
Before you receive treatment, the acupuncturist will take a case history in order to make a clear diagnosis of your condition; this may involve a Traditional Chinese Medicine as well as a Western Diagnosis. Acupuncture involves the insertion of fine needles into specific points on the body in order to encourage the healing process of the body and alleviate pain.
Reflexology
Reflexology is a therapeutic treatment that aims to rebalance the body through the stimulation of specific points, or reflexes, on the feet. The treatment itself consists of a variety of techniques applied by thumbs and fingertips to reflex points over the feet and ankles.
