Therapies
The clinic offers a range of natural Therapies pertinent to the clients needs and health condition.
Acupuncture
Acupuncture is a 6000-year-old method of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) to prevent and treat diseases.
The foundation of Chinese Acupuncture developed from the concept of Qi (vital energy), which flows in various channels throughout the body. Treatment with acupuncture is undertaken with the aim of restoring all the body systems to a state of balance.
Treatment
The acupuncturist uses needles, moxa (heat), acupressure or laser on specific acupuncture points to optimize the energy flow in order to improve condition and regain health.
A number of needles may be inserted at specific acupuncture points and be left in the body for several minutes, or a stimulation or moxa might be applied. Acupuncture stimulates the body’s normal healing and pain- relieving mechanisms.
Only sterile disposable needles are used.
Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy
Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy (BCST) is a subtle, profound and gentle technique that involves listening with trained hands to assess the body’s structures and rhythms, assisting the body’s natural capacity for reorganization and self-repair.
Craniosacral Therapy has its roots in the osteopathic tradition of medicine, based on the work of osteopath, Dr. Sutherland.
Treatment
Craniosacral therapy is a hands-on therapy that helps to direct the client to greater health.
Craniosacral touch does not use manipulation. It can help to resolve physical trauma, relieve restriction, pain and dysfunction. The therapist assists the client to relax, and to release stress and anxiety, which helps to balance the individual’s nervous system to regain health and well-being.
This technique may be beneficial for a multitude of conditions and is can be effective for people of all ages, from newborn, babies and children to adults and the elderly.
Mothers and Babies/Children
Craniosacral therapy is available to support women during pregnancy by helping to release restrictions in the pelvis, to resolve back and hip pain and tension, and to prepare for an optimal labour.
Working with mothers and babies postnatally can help recovery from the rigours of childbirth.
Newborns may have relief with conditions like colic, excessive crying, irritability, feeding and sleeping difficulties.
Craniosacral therapy is beneficial in supporting infants and children with various medical conditions and disabilities throughout their development.
