Medical Acupuncture is the western approach to traditional acupuncture whereby needles are used to stimulate the nervous system and treat musculoskeletal and myofascial trigger point pain.
Excellent for stubborn knots which refuse to budge even after lots of soft tissue work, fantastic for joint pain especially in areas too small for manual manipulation. Medical acupuncture is something I use within my Myofascial/Sports Massage treatments so I may for example massage a clients back and then after needle an area which still seems constricted and then work on the legs whilst the needles do their thing. I have been trained to an advanced level by Osteon Manual Training (OMT) in London.
