About me
Ian uses an holistic approach to treatment based on the practice of both Five Element Acupuncture and Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). As a member of the British Acupuncture Council (BAcC), Ian follows the BAcC Codes of Ethics, Safe Practice and Professional Conduct.
Acupuncture can treat a large number of problems. It treats the root cause of a condition rather than specific symptoms in isolation and in so doing it can be effective for a wide range of conditions.
Acupuncture sets out to correct any imbalance in the energy of a person. The aim is to restore the energy to a natural balance and flow and to re-establish its rhythm with the natural cycles. Harmony and equilibrium are then re-established within the body, within the mind, within the spirit of the person, and between the person and the environment.
As the energy imbalances are corrected, the person's body, mind and spirit starts to heal. With Qi balance now restored the person naturally begins to feel better.
After acupuncture a patient often feels more able to relax, has more vitality, feels more at peace, or feels more enjoyment in life.
