Acupuncture is the insertion of very fine needles in specific areas around the body to help restore harmony and balance and promote wellbeing.

Acupuncture works on the theory that the body is made up of meridians through which energy flows (qi), it is believed that illness comes from / is caused by blockages within the flow of qi. Acupuncture seeks to clear these blockages through the insertion of stainless-steel needles into measured and considered points around the body.
