Acupuncture - Practical Effective Treatment

AcupunctureAcupuncture is a well established therapy. It focuses on the health of the whole being in order to better treat specific symptoms. Our health is dependent on the body’s motivating energy, known as Chi, moving in a smooth, balanced way through channels within the body. When our Chi becomes unbalanced or disrupted, illness results. Inserting fine needles at key points helps to unblock the flow of energy and restore normal balance, thereby stimulating the body’s own healing response. It is this holistic approach which helps bring about a deeper sustained healing without drug side effects.
Peter's training in massage and acupressure (Zero Balancing) gives him a broad skills base from which to tackle a wide range of health issues – see his biography. Acupuncture treatments are practical and effective. Certain complaints may clear completely or in the case of some chronic conditions significant improvement may occur. It is impossible for anyone to predict a healing outcome but Peter is happy to talk about specific health issues and what improvements are commonly experienced.

Acupressure / Zero Balancing

An alternative way of accessing the Chi energy for health and wellbeing is the deeply relaxing technique of acupressure. The specific acupressure technique Peter uses (Zero Balancing) was developed by Dr Fritz Smith who became a highly skilled osteopath and master acupuncturist. Acupressure works with Chi energy (life force) in the same way as acupuncture. Tensions and misalignments in the body structure block our natural vitality and well being. Through gentle finger pressure and held stretches Zero Balancing invites the release of tensions accumulated in the deep structures of the body. It encourages our natural healing process and well being.. This is a blissful, calming and grounding experience. Click here to read more on Zero Balancing.
