Never Tried Acupuncture? Here are 10 reasons why you should.

1. Acupuncture promotes a state of relaxation

Do you ever feel there are just not enough hours in the day to meet the demands of work, family, and self-care? Are you operating in a state of chronically high stress? Acupuncture can switch on your body’s relaxation pathways and retrain your body and mind in how to relax.

2. Acupuncture can help improve sleep

Acupuncture treats the root cause of what is causing the insomnia and actually benefits your overall health at the same time as well as restoring restful, reliable sleep patterns.

3. Acupuncture can boost your energy

What is Osteopathy?

Osteopathy is a holistic health practice focusing on treatment via the structure and function of the body. It was founded in the 1800s by American physician Andrew Taylor Still. Born on the frontiers of European settlement in 1828, Still grew up amongst Indigenous Americans with a Cherokee great grandmother. He trained as a conventional medical doctor and served as a surgeon during the American Civil War but many experiences, including the failure of medicine to save the lives of three of his daughters from spinal meningitis, led to his desire to reform the medicine of his day.

Still took his inspiration from nature as well as indigenous peoples

Hayfever

Spring in Canberra is a glorious time, with delicate blossoms and sunny wattle putting on a show, the days lengthening and warming up. Except, of course, if you’re a hayfever sufferer, in which case sneezes, red sniffly noses and teary eyes are the norm. If you’re one of the unlucky 15% or so who suffers from hayfever there are things you can do other than hide in your room, to ease the discomfort.

Manage Your Pain With Traditional Chinese Medicine

Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) considers pain to be caused by the lack of free flow of qi and/or blood. To put it simply, when the qi and blood move freely, there is no pain. Unfortunately, the flow of qi and blood can become inhibited at any and every area of the body. The internal organs, joints and ligaments, muscles can all be affected by qi and blood stagnation. What causes the stagnation?

You’ve tried Physiotherapy. But have you worked with a Holistic Physiotherapist?

I am a physiotherapist with over 30 years of experience. My work and techniques are constantly evolving, as I hope I am also personally always changing and evolving. Our physical form and state of health is dependent on our being in balance physically, mentally, emotionally & spiritually. What happens to us changes what happens within us. Physical symptoms can be blocks from unprocessed/unresolved energies from mental, emotional or spiritual origin.

Why the skin is an extension of the brain.

We cannot change anything unless we are aware that something needs changing! If you do not know you are doing something, how do you know you may need to change that action/thought/behaviour?

If something is not working in your life then that can be a first sign that change is required, or at least something needs to be brought into your awareness?
