Excellent acupuncture session and aftercare advice. I felt relaxed and rejuvenated after the treatment and will definitely go back. However, I do appreciate that acupuncture is not a quick fix and a course of treatments may be needed to address a specific health issue.
easily located and very central. Therapist is very keen and knowledgeable and will tailor requirements for you. overall happy with service and treatment and have booked some more sessions.
Would recommend.
I chose the acupuncture treatment as I was having problems with a ligament in my leg and had a back problem and I was impressed with other reviewers' comments. The clinic is upstairs in a tan shop, which was very basic but the staff in the shop were friendly and the therapist - Chi, is such an amiable, professional, efficient person that the facilities were not that important. I was so impressed that I booked a course of 6 sessions. What I really liked about Chi is that she demystified acupuncture; she didn't cloud it in talk of energy lines etc but explained it as reducing inflammation, which made sense and was noticeable after her treatment. She didn't hurry the initial session - or those following, and also gave me valuable advice about the problems I was having, which I have acted on and benefitted from. A definite offer to sign up for.
The staff in the tanning salon where Chi is based wasn't too helpfull, but the rest was great. After a thorough questioning and studying my body, the therapist advised me to have 'only' 30mins sports massage instead of the hour I'd originally wanted, and add a 30mins acupuncture treatment. So I did, and it was very good - during the massage she really pick up all my pressure (pain) points, and the acupuncture then treated those points further.
Was very impressed by the therepist's assessment of my body and the various aches and pains, and really liked that she talked me through it all the way. Very nice, would certainly come back!
It's a tiny attic treatment room with minimal facilities but the therapist is doing her job well, using enough pressure for a proper deep tissue massage. She kept updating my problem areas during the hour and not too pushy about further treatments. Prepare to feel the good pain!
