Traditional Chinese Acupuncture is a medical system developed within Chinese culture and philosophy over 4,000 years. It aims to activate the innate healing ability of the Body-Mind, not to 'attack' a disease; to address the root cause of illness, not simply to alleviate symptoms. Diagnosis is based on finding out the patient's patterns of disharmony. A treatment plan is then devised to help the patient back to a state of balanced health. Hairfine needles are inserted into the skin at acupuncture points. These stainless steel needles are sterilised and prepacked under quality control procedures.

Shiatsu is a form of healing closely related to acupuncture. Instead of using needles the practitioner applies pressure mainly with hands and thumbs. Stretching techniques are also used to stimulate and promote well-being.

Both acupuncture and shiatsu not only can relieve many health problems but can also help maintain health and counter the effects of everyday stress.
