Our Acupuncture Therapist?

At the moment Sarah is offering acupuncture as part of her Osteopathic appointments. Sarah uses myofascial trigger point acupuncture. When a tissue becomes over excitable this causes contraction and stagnation. We need tissues to move including the nervous system and circulatory system. When stagnation occurs, myofascial trigger points accumulate causing pain, dysfunction and limited ranges of movement. Acupuncture tends to work very quickly and combined with Osteoapthic techniques great results can be reached.

Patients report back that it is very therapeutic indeed.
