Acupuncture involves the insertion of incredibly fine needles to stimulate the body’s physical and energy systems and restore it to a state of balance. Acupuncture points, sometimes called acupoints, are located all over the body, and are carefully selected by your practitioner to gently stimulate, strengthen, and relieve symptoms of your unique presentation whilst treating the underlying cause. The points we tend to use most frequently are located on the limbs, ankles, wrists, abdomen and back. When stimulated, these points initiate a healing response in the body, and help to clear stress hormones, boost energy levels and bring the body back into balance – naturally.
