CHINESE MEDICINE
A HOLISTIC SYSTEM OF TRADITIONAL HEALTHCARE
Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) is a holistic system of healthcare that has developed over thousands of years. It views health as a balance between different aspects of the body and mind, and considers the individual as a whole rather than focusing only on individual symptoms.
A TCM consultation looks at your main concerns alongside your overall health, lifestyle and wellbeing. This helps to build an individual picture of your health and guide the choice of treatment.
TCM & ITS TREATMENT METHODS
Chinese Medicine is not a single treatment. It is a complete system that includes a range of traditional therapeutic methods.
Depending on your individual needs, a TCM treatment plan may include one or more of the following:
Traditional Acupuncture
Fine, sterile needles are inserted at specific points on the body. It is one of the best-known treatment methods within TCM.
Fu’s Subcutaneous Needling (FSN)
A specialised needling technique commonly used for pain and
musculoskeletal conditions.
Cupping
The use of cups to create suction on the skin. It is traditionally used to support circulation, muscular relaxation and wellbeing.
Gua Sha
A traditional technique using a smooth-edged tool to gently stimulate the skin and underlying tissues. It may be used for muscular tension, wellbeing and facial treatments.
Chinese Herbal Medicine
The use of traditional herbal formulations selected according to an individual's TCM assessment and specific needs.
ONE SYSTEM, INDIVIDUALISED TREATMENT
These methods are not necessarily used separately. They can be combined according to your individual needs and treatment goals.
Your treatment approach is determined following consultation and may be adjusted as your needs and response to treatment change.
WHAT CAN TCM SUPPORT?
TCM may be used to support a wide range of health and wellbeing concerns, including:
Pain & Musculoskeletal Health · Women’s Health · Stress & Sleep Digestive Health · Skin Health · General Wellbeing
