Welcome to Fiona Jennings: Acupuncture & Naturopathy

My interest in Chinese medicine started with my studies in the Chinese exercise systems of Tai Chi Chuan and Qi Gong, which I have practised for over 15 years. In my clinic I provide Traditional  Chinese acupuncture, Tuina Therapy and Naturopathy; treating the root cause of health problems by changes in diet, exercise and lifestyle, and by the use of holistic and natural therapies. The focus in my practice is on root causes and sustainable changes.

 

Acupuncture

Acupuncture is a tried and tested system of holistic complementary medicine, used for thousands of years in China and other Eastern cultures. Traditional acupuncture works to restore and maintain balance in the body, in all aspects of well being: physical, mental and emotional.

The World Health Organisation endorses acupuncture as effective treatment for more than 28 conditions including:

• anxiety & stress, 
• arthritis, back pain, muscular pains, sciatica, sports injuries, 
• digestive disorders, e.g. IBS,
• hypertension
• insomnia, 
• menstrual & menopause problems, PMT, fertility

 

The Principles of Naturopathy

• Do no harm
• Vis Medicatrix Naturae - Nature has healing power
• Prevention is preferable to cure
• Identify and treat the root cause, not the symptoms
• Treat the whole person  and not just the disease
• Health is more than the absence of disease

Naturopath is an educator, and empowers the patient to take responsibility for their own health 

 Tuina Therapy

Tuina is the most tried and tested massage therapy in the world, in existence for 2,500 years and practiced in all the major hospitals in China. Over the centuries Tuina has taken over the roles of physiotherapy, osteopathy and chiropractic in China. Tuina treats a wide range of conditions, including neck pain, shoulder pain, back pain, headache, migraine, stress, carpal tunnel syndrome, insomnia, digestive disorders.
