Chinese medicine is a sophisticated and powerful medical system that has evolved in East Asia over several thousand years. It combines a detailed and holistic approach to diagnosis with a broad spectrum of therapeutic interventions. These include acupuncture, herbal medicine, massage (Tuina) and lifestyle advice to treat disease and to restore and maintain good health and wellbeing.
Written records of this medical system stretch back over 2,000 years but these practices are even older and almost certainly originate in the earliest stages of human development. Chinese medicine has been refined over centuries of clinical practice. More recently it has been tested and validated by increasingly rigorous in vitro and in vivo research. In China it is commonly used in over 3,000 hospitals and investigated by over a hundred research institutes. In the past 40-50 years Chinese medicine has become established in the West and is widely practised in Europe, the US and Australia.
The combination of traditional knowledge, and its application and scrutiny in a modern care setting, is one of the great strengths of this system of medicine.
Over 400 plants are used in Chinese herbal medicine and although this includes commonly known herbs such as cinnamon, ginger, mint and goji berry, we prescribe many others that are less well known in the UK.

Success Stories
Pete Thompson
“I am a long distance runner and have had hamstring issues on and off for several years. I went to see Jenny on recommendation for a Tuina massage. After a Postural Assessment and a subsequent massage I was delighted to find that my legs felt completely different on my next marathon. It lasted for about a month so I returned.
This time I had Acupuncture which after only 1 session completely took away the pain. That was 3 months ago. I would definitely recommend Jenny for her professionalism, expertise and care. I really enjoyed my treatment and indeed will be returning for maintenance massage when I need it.”

“My lower back has progressively got worse since my second child. Nothing seemed to work despite 2 weekly Chiropractor sessions for a year, drugs and various other professionals. After my first session of Acupuncture with Jenny, the pain lessened considerably – 2 more sessions and it’s gone!
Jenny has a way about her – she made me feel completely at ease and I knew she understood my pain and my situation. I felt safe. I was confident from the first session that she could help me. I now also have a regular Tuina massage with Jenny to keep my back supple and pain free. Tuina is amazing – I wish I had found this style of massage years ago!”
