The aim of Traditional Chinese Medicine is to strengthen the individual’s self-healing powers.

In normal cases, the usual methods of therapy employed are acupuncture, cupping, Tui Na massages and Chinese remedies. If you have a fear of needles, we can offer you ear seeds and Chinese remedies as an alternative to acupuncture.

Relaxation therapy is an essential element in the regeneration process and very important for the restoration of original strength levels.

The relaxation therapy that will produce the best results is determined for the patient on an individual basis. Jacobsen’s muscular relaxation technique, mindfulness training, meditative relaxation and HeartMath Biofeedback are all available. The bodily systems that normally function without our being aware of them, such as muscle tension, heart rate and breathing are measured in Biofeedback with the aid of sensors and electronic devices and relayed back to patients in the form of sounds and images.
