Acupuncture - Chinese Medicine - Kinesiology - Massage - Yin Yoga in the heart of Christies Beach

Acupuncture is the insertion of fine needles into various specific points on the body which have influence on your Qi (the body’s energy). It is based on a classical TCM theory that there are channels or meridians of energy running throughout our bodies which manage & maintain our energy flow. Each channel also corresponds to our bodily organs (internal medicine).

As 4yr degree qualified and highly trained Acupuncturists, our practitioners will insert acu pins at various places on your body, depending on the severity and nature of that condition we are treating. These can be anywhere, including in the ears (auricular acupuncture), scalp, hands and feet, limbs, tummy or back.

Acupuncture actually feels good! It induces sensations like no other modality can. Some patients report feeling their energy shifting as they lay quietly, others report deep relaxation and calmness. Whatever you feel, it won’t be scary or painful or like you’re having blood taken! Nothing of the sort…but each person has their own experience. Come and find out what yours will be…

Easy to use herbal formulas are often prescribed to support the work we do in clinic. Dr. Rebecca Brook views herbal formulas as essential in some cases, especially where patients have long term complaints-the body likes repetition, and treating yourself at home using herbs means consistency!

Giving the human body messages every day (by taking your herbs) means the body has support in-between physical acupuncture treatments.

There are variations of formulas including

capsules

tablets or pills

granules

liquid formulas

If you are prescribed a formula know that it is with purpose-to improve the condition you sought treatment for, and enhance overall health and wellbeing.

Different formulas are for different parts of the body, different organs, different chinese medicine patterns, or different conditions.

Cupping is everywhere these days.

However as part of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) our acupuncturists use cupping for both diagnostic and treatment purposes. It doesn’t just look “cool”, it serves a much broader purpose!

Traditional flame cupping utilises a heat source to remove oxygen from the cup, thus creating suction. Cups are placed on your skin in various locations, depending on your treatment. Analysis is then done and results of this diagnostic tools are used to support diagnosis/treatment. OR, we may require further investigation to enhance your treatment and optimise outcomes.

As acupuncturists, we utilise the results of your cupping for further treatment recommendations, differential diagnosis and as therapy. Being skilled with cupping techniques comes hand in hand with being a Dr. of Chinese Medicine/Acupuncturist.

Amie Benton is our regular Kinesiologist, in clinic each Thursday arvo/evening and atl Saturdays. Kinesiology is a holistic practice intended to determine the cause of imbalances (stressors) in the body and release them, bringing your body back to harmony. It is a complementary therapy, so the purpose isn't to diagnose or treat illness.

The practice of Kinesiology considers the deep connections between the physical aspects of the body, the psychological aspects of the mind and the energetic structures that form our being.

With a method known as muscle monitoring; a practitioner can identify, assess and correct imbalances in the body; promoting physical, emotional, mental and spiritual well-being. There is also a focus on relaying the principles and structures behind the practice and enhancing awareness of body and self.
