Introducing Acupuncture
Backed by research and practiced for over 2000 years
Classical acupuncture addresses the physical, emotional and psychological state of the patient
Flis offers personalised treatments for a wide range of health needs, including stress, anxiety, injury, pain, women's health (incl. fertility, pregnancy) digestion and whole-body wellbeing.
Her approach combines modern clinical practice with traditional Chinese medicine, providing treatments that are individualised, effective, and grounded in real outcomes.
What is Acupuncture?
Acupuncture is based on meridians that balance and control the flow of energy/chi in your body. This energy/chi flows up and down the body like electrical circuits
Pain and illness can occur when these meridians become unbalanced or blocked and energy can no longer flow freely. Blockages can occur for many reasons such as injury, emotional shocks, trauma, bad diet or sleep, stress etc
Painless needles are placed on the body to help heal and restore balance
Flis will develop a unique treatment for you based on your symptoms focussing on the root cause, not just the symptoms.
Acupuncture works to regulate the nervous system, reduce stress responses and release endorphins, helping the body move into deep restorative healing.
What to Expect in an Acupuncture Treatment?
Flis will find out about your health from a holistic point of view, covering digestion, sleep, stress response, and general health.
She will then make a diagnosis, and give you a treatment. Your treatment may consist of several therapies in conjunction with acupuncture, such as fire cupping, infrared light therapy, ear acupuncture and MFR (Myofascial release therapy).
The needles will be left in place for 25- 30 mins. Often, people go into a state of deep relaxation, and many may drift off to sleep.
What is Acupuncture good at treating?
Acupuncture is widely known for its effectiveness in treating musculoskeletal injuries but has traditionally been used extensively in treating respiratory, digestive, gynecological, and many other chronic conditions such as:
· Stress and anxiety
