Authentic Chinese Acupuncture & Tui Na
Restore Balance. Relieve Pain. Reconnect Your Body.
At our clinic, we offer authentic Chinese acupuncture, auricular acupuncture, and Tui Na therapy, rooted in thousands of years of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). These treatments are designed to restore balance within the body, promote natural healing, and support both physical and emotional wellbeing.
Whether you're dealing with pain, stress, or chronic health concerns, our approach focuses on treating the root cause, not just the symptoms.
What is Acupuncture?
Acupuncture is a traditional therapy that involves the gentle insertion of very fine, sterile needles into specific points on the body.
These points lie along energy pathways known as meridians, which regulate the flow of Qi (vital energy). When Qi becomes blocked or imbalanced, it can lead to pain or illness.
Acupuncture works to:
- Stimulate the body’s natural healing response
- Improve circulation
- Reduce inflammation
- Restore internal balance
What is Auricular Acupuncture?
Auricular acupuncture is a specialised form of acupuncture that focuses on the ear as a microsystem of the entire body.
Specific points on the ear correspond to different organs and systems, allowing us to influence both physical and emotional health.
Auricular acupuncture is particularly helpful for:
- Pain management
- Stress and anxiety
- Sleep issues
- Hormonal balance
- Supporting smoking cessation and weight management
It can be used on its own or alongside body acupuncture for enhanced results.
What is Tui Na?
Tui Na (pronounced twee-nah) is a form of Chinese therapeutic massage that combines deep tissue techniques with acupressure.
It is both relaxing and highly effective for musculoskeletal and internal conditions.
Tui Na can help:
- Release muscle tension and stiffness
- Improve joint mobility
- Promote blood flow and healing
- Support recovery from injury
Unlike standard massage, Tui Na is a clinical treatment, often used alongside acupuncture for enhanced results.

01
FAQs
Does acupuncture hurt?
Most people feel little to no pain. The needles are extremely fine, and you may experience a mild tingling or dull sensation, which is a normal therapeutic response.
02
What is the difference between body and auricular acupuncture?
Body acupuncture targets points across the body, while auricular acupuncture focuses on the ear, which reflects the whole body. They are often used together to enhance treatment outcomes.
03
Is acupuncture safe?
Yes. We use single-use, sterile needles and follow strict hygiene protocols to ensure your safety at all times.
04
How many sessions will I need?
This varies depending on your condition. Some people notice improvement after 1–2 sessions; however, for more lasting and effective results, a course of treatment is usually recommended.
In Traditional Chinese Medicine, a full course typically consists of 10 sessions, with at least 5 sessions (half course) advised to allow the body enough time to respond and rebalance.
We will always review your progress along the way and tailor your treatment plan to ensure you’re getting the best possible outcome.
05
What should I wear to my appointment?
Wear loose, comfortable clothing. Some areas may need to be accessed (e.g., arms, legs, back), but your comfort and privacy are always respected.
06
Can I combine this with physiotherapy?
Absolutely. Acupuncture and Tui Na work very well alongside physiotherapy and can enhance recovery, reduce pain, and improve outcomes.
07
Is Tui Na the same as a regular massage?
No. Tui Na is a therapeutic treatment based on Chinese medicine principles. It is more targeted and clinical than a relaxation massage.
08
Are there any side effects?
Side effects are rare but may include mild bruising or temporary soreness. Most patients feel relaxed and energised after treatment.
