Our Treatment Approach
At our Thames clinic, every acupuncture treatment begins with a personalised consultation. We take time to understand your symptoms, health history, and overall wellbeing before developing a treatment plan tailored to your needs.
Acupuncture treatment may be combined with other traditional Chinese medicine therapies such as cupping, moxibustion, or herbal advice where appropriate. This integrated approach helps improve circulation, reduce pain, and support the body’s natural healing process.
Each session typically lasts 50–60 minutes, including consultation and treatment. Our goal is to provide gentle, professional care in a calm and supportive environment.
