Annya preparing for an Acupuncture consulation at The Green Room

Therapy with the gentle touch.

I have always had a passion for exercise and a healthy lifestyle. It was about 10 years ago when working as an aerobics and gym instructor that I discovered yoga and its ability to both calm and energise me at the same time.

Acupuncture can give the same sort of experience. I found this when I was looking for an alternative to my full time management job. It was making me tired and stressed and was causing regular shoulder and neck pain. A few acupuncture treatments not only relieved the aches and soreness and but revitalised me as well.

Acupuncture and yoga together helped me through my 4 year acupuncture degree course. They helped to maintain the energy needed to work and study at the same time and to help relieve sciatic pain from driving down to the London College of Acupuncture and Traditional Medicine.

Two of the things I love about acupuncture are:

seeing and hearing the change in patients, sometimes after just one session, sometimes after a few.
talking through your diet and lifestyle with you to see if there is anything else you can do to help yourself to resolve your problems.

Now I can add a third thing to the list. After completing post graduate training, "postural analysis" is another technique I can call upon to help reduce and manage pain conditions. A simple matter of changing how you sit and stand can make a huge difference to your well being. Just a few simple exercises have made a tremendous difference to patients already.
