Adjunctive Therapies

In clinic I offer adjunctive therapies dependant on your need and personalised treatment plan.  These include:

  • Moxibustion – A warming treatment through the use of a fortified herb “mugwort” which helps the body move energy. It is good for circulation, cold and pain as well as digestive and gynaecological conditions.  A course of moxibustion can be used to encourage breech babies to turn.
  • Cupping and Guasha – These are used to stimulate blood flow and Qi circulation to an area which has pain or stiffness.
  • Dietary & Lifestyle support – Lifestyle advice is available which includes nutrition, supplements, exercise, sleep “hygiene” and stress management to support you in restoring balance and staying well.
  • Fertility Bloods, Scans & Semen Analysis results – I offer a service to review fertility bloods, scans and semen analysis results to help you understand these in more depth.
  • EFT/Tapping – EFT tapping (Emotional Freedom Techniques) is a self-help method combining acupressure and cognitive therapy, where you gently tap on specific meridian points on your face and body while focusing on a negative emotion or issue, verbalizing phrases to address it. This process is believed to calm the nervous system, reduce stress hormones (like cortisol), and help process emotional distress, anxiety, trauma, or pain by creating a positive association with difficult feelings
  • Infrared Heat Therapy – An infrared heat lamp is an electrical device emitting infrared radiation (heat) used for warmth, pain relief (muscle/joint pain), improving circulation, speeding healing, by penetrating skin to reach tissues. IT is used to treat musculoskeletal issues and is beneficial for stubborn chronic pain, muscular tension and inflammation.
