Purpose built acupuncture & massage studio offering:
ACUPUNCTURE - Acupuncture aims to stimulate the flow of vital energy (Qi) within the body encouraging the body's own natural healing process to take place. It involves the insertion of very fine single use sterile needles into specific and carefully chosen points along the body.
AURICULAR ACUPUNCTURE - Widely used in NHS detox clinics, Auricular Acupuncture is extremely effective at reducing irritability & cravings associated with the withdrawal of certain substances eg: drugs (prescription and non-prescription) nicotine, sugar, alcohol etc. It involves the insertion of extremely fine single use sterile needles into specific points in the ear. At Marple Acupuncture we offer a 7, 14 and 21 day detox programme. Please contact Carl at Marple Acupuncture for further details.
CUPPING - Cupping involves small glass cups being placed on carefully selected areas of the body, held on by creating a vacuum in the cup. Cupping stimulates the flow of blood and qi to the affected area. It is highly effective at relieving pain in the muscles and is an excellent treatment for back and shoulder pain.
MOXIBUSTION - Moxibustion is the burning or smouldering of the Chinese herb Moxa (Artemisia Vulgaris). It can be applied to the end of a needle or rolled into a cigar shaped stick and is then held over select points in the body to stimulate the flow of Qi; gently warming the body.
TUI NA - Tui Na is a fully clothed massage based on traditional Chinese massage techniques. Tui Na excels in the treatment of sports injuries and achieves excellent results for neck, shoulder and back pain. It is perfect for treating stress related disorders.
