The Acupuncture MOT is a valuable way of determining and correcting problems. Somebody areas can become inflamed, tiring and sore over time. The MOT treatment may help sleep, stress and anxiety, improve energy levels and reduce pain.
Acupuncture treatment is pretty much painless
Acupuncture needles are incredibly fine and nothing like the heavy needles we are used to for injections, so the treatment is pretty much painless. When the needle is inserted, you may begin to feel it tingling in each case. These sensations are from a Chinese medicine perspective “Chi”. You will know you are having Acupuncture, but it certainly isn’t uncomfortable. The Acupuncturist will often give you some recommendations to help you build up your health and help you to feel on top of the world. The Acupuncture MOT aims to instil a healthy habit into the hectic nature of our lives but can also work as a specific treatment. We recommend checking out details on the stress clinic page, which involve a relaxing mix of massage and acupuncture to help you wind down and rebalance yourself.
How it All Started 3000 Years Ago
“Back in the time of the Chinese emperor thing were very different. In those days he had lots of ‘physicians’ whose personal health depended on the emperor being well. If he became ill, they were likely to suffer so of course, they did everything possible to keep him alive and well. This meant a full health MOT every day. In China, the Acupuncturists would get paid each week by his patients. While his patients were healthy and able to pay for his service so it was always in their interests to keep everyone well. While a daily MOT may be a lovely idea it is slightly excessive. I believe a quarterly check can help fend off most problems” – Helen Taylor-Weekes (Acupuncturist & Practice Co-Director)
According to Chinese medicine, each of us has a dominant element – wood, water, earth, fire and metal – which can determine the health problems we are most likely to suffer.
This involves a tongue inspection and checking skin colour and pulses. Diagnosis continues with checking your back’s acupuncture points for signs of imbalance. According to Chinese medicine, the body is a field with energies known as chi and blood and if either of these is out of balance it can lead to a host of health problems.
