Consultation and Treatments

Our practical classes will comprise multiple manual modalities and needling. The team provides Tuina of chinese Osteopathy Massage to release muscle tension, break down adhesions and restore range of motion -- techniques that complement needling and herbal care.

Consultation and Treatments start with a thorough history: the duration of the existing symptoms, their aggravating and alleviating factors, sleep, appetite and emotional state. The practitioner will measure both wrist pulses as well as check the tongue in order to have the full picture of diagnosis after which he will select the right points and therapies. This is how Traditional Chinese Medicine UK frames the assessment and treatment planning.

Acupuncture sessions and 

Acupuncture sessions are often paired with Tuina of Chinese Osteopathy Massage when soft tissue release or mobility work is required. Tuina is done either in light garments or on the skin and can be modified to a deep level of therapeutic healing or to a light and non-therapeutic relaxation according to the need of that particular person.

Moxa Treatment (moxibustion)

Moxa Treatment (moxibustion) is a routine treatment of pain aggravated by cold, some gynaecological issues and in enhancing protective qi. To stimulate circulation and lymphatic but to warm channels, expel cold pathogens and eliminate stagnation, dried mugwort is heated around acu-points

Chinese Herbal Medicine

In the case of chronic illnesses, Chinese Herbal Medicine is tailor-made to the person and is commonly combined with manual treatments and needling. HE ACUPUNCTURE will also rely on classical formulae and adjust them to pulse and tongue variations to facilitate recovery in the course of weeks and months. 

Integrated plans for musculoskeletal pain

When musculoskeletal pain is the main issue, Traditional Chinese Medicine UK offers integrated plans that pair specific acupuncture points with manual releases and rehabilitation advice. The latter combination is useful in overcoming the symptoms as well as the structural constraints that maintain them.

Treatment frequency and staged care

The frequency of treatment depends on the response and the severity of the condition; acute problems may be treated more frequently compared to chronic issues which have the staged approach. Tuina of Chinese Osteopathy Massage is often scheduled in the early phase to ease stiffness and improve circulation so subsequent acupuncture has a stronger effect.

Pain management focus

The management of pain is the significant area: the practitioners choose the points and methods, which are intended to eliminate inflammation, enhance blood circulation and renew the movement. Traditional Chinese Medicine UK frames pain as a sign of imbalance and uses several modalities to re-establish normal function and reduce recurrence.

Tuina of Chinese Osteopathy Massage is suitable for children, adults and older people; techniques are adapted so the treatment remains comfortable and effective across ages. It is an all-rounder to individuals who do not like needling but hands-on care.

Rehabilitation after injury or stiffness

Manual therapy, acupuncture and lifestyle advice are useful in the coordination of rehabilitation following sprains, strains or post-operative stiffness. Traditional Chinese Medicine UK emphasises restoring tissue glide and gradual strengthening to prevent relapse.

The clinic uses herbal formulas, which can clear stagnation, tonify deficiencies and calm the shen, and the herbs are prescribed depending on the person and not as generic prescriptions. HE ACUPUNCTURE will use the classical formulae and adjust them depending on the pulse and the tongue to facilitate both the recovery in weeks and months.

Practical expectations

Practical expectations: it will take approximately 60-90 minutes of the first consultation and treatment to enable the practitioner to go through a complete assessment and settle on a plan. After that, there will be the discussion of frequency and duration, which will be discussed openly and adjusted to care.

Early hands-on treatment for muscular and joint complaints
