Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) is a holistic health system that considers how different aspects of the body interact.
Rather than focusing on symptoms alone, it looks at patterns of balance and imbalance across physical, emotional and lifestyle factors.
Chinese Medicine has been practised for thousands of years and continues to be used today alongside modern clinical understanding.
Treatment approaches are selected based on individual presentation, goals and ongoing discussion.
Our approach to Traditional Chinese Medicine
Treatment approaches that may be used
Depending on your individual needs and goals, Chinese Medicine treatments may include one or more of the following:
Acupuncture
Fine, single-use needles are placed at specific points on the body. Point selection is based on an individual assessment, with care taken to ensure comfort throughout the session.
Fire Cupping
Cupping involves placing cups on the skin to create gentle suction over targeted areas. It is commonly used to support circulation and ease areas of tension.
Electro-acupuncture
This approach combines traditional needling with a gentle electrical stimulus at selected points, providing consistent stimulation during treatment.
Moxibustion
Moxibustion involves applying warmth near specific acupuncture points using dried mugwort. It is traditionally used to support circulation and warmth within the body.
Tui Na massage
Tui Na is a form of Chinese therapeutic massage that works along muscles and energy pathways. Techniques are adapted to individual needs.
Chinese herbal remedies
Chinese herbal remedies may be recommended as part of an individualised approach. Selections are based on your presentation and discussed for suitability.
