Acupuncture and Chinese massage

Stuart specialises in treatment for musculoskeletal issues. A combination of both massage & acupuncture can produce excellent results in both acute and chronic conditions such as back, neck, shoulder and knee pain – helping to reduce muscular tension, and stimulate the body’s nervous and immune systems to promote healing. With his expertise in exercise prescription, Stuart can further provide specific exercises to work alongside treatment.

A treatment will start with a consultation to find out about your condition and your current (and historical) health. Stuart will then decide on an appropriate method with which to start your healing. This could be a singular-style treatment or a combination of Chinese Massage & Acupuncture. In addition  Stuart may add some heat through an infra-red lamp or electro-acupuncture, both to stimulate tissue healing.

Exercise prescription may also be given at the end of treatment to help with strength & mobility. A session lasts about 1 hour. A one-off treatment can sometimes have great results, but for more chronic issues a series of sessions will provide the best results.

Sarah suffering from chronic shoulder pain says: “I think the combination of massage followed by acupuncture is a winner. My shoulder has a lot more mobility in it than it has for at least 6 months and it is also much less painful. I need to book you in again!

Acupuncture & Chinese Massage start at £50.
