Acupuncture has been used for more than 3000 years and is an ancient Chinese medical system that treats your body in a holistic way. Acupuncture provides a complete treatment system combining physical and emotional factors in the prevention and promotion of health.

An Acupuncture treatment consists of the insertion of disposable needles at specific points on the body. Acupuncture needles are very fine and bear no resemblance to an injection or blood test. There can be a sensation of tingling, warmth, numbness or heaviness at the insertion point but most patients find that there is no discomfort. Adjunctive therapies, such as massage (Tui Na), cupping, electro-stimulation and heat lamps, may be used.

Single use sterile, disposable needles are only used at Health Plus Clinics.

Tui Na - Chinese massage

This is like acupuncture without the needles. Pre-dating acupuncture it is one of the earliest forms of therapeutic massage. Based on the diagnostic framework of Traditional Chinese Medicine, Tui Na is effective at relieving a wide range of common health problems. Because Tui na massage can be very relaxing, it is particularly useful for stress related condition. Like other forms of massage it can be used preventatively, to encourage the movement of Qi (vital energy) and Blood. In most of my treatments I will use a combination of Tui Na and Acupuncture.

About Ilford

Ilford is a large suburban town in northeast London, England and the administrative headquarters of the London Borough of Redbridge. It is located 9.1 miles (14.6 km) northeast of Charing Cross and is one of the major metropolitan centres identified in the London Plan. It forms a significant commercial and retail centre surrounded by extensive residential development. Ilford was historically a small rural settlement in the county of Essex and its strategic position on the River Roding and the London to Colchester road caused it to develop as a coaching town. The arrival of the railway in 1839 eventually accelerated that growth and as part of the suburban growth of London in the 20th century, Ilford significantly expanded and increased in population, becoming a municipal borough in 1926 and has formed part of Greater London since 1965.

Ilford is divided between the UK Parliament constituencies of Ilford North and Ilford South. Ilford North consists of the Redbridge wards of Aldborough, Barkingside, Redbridge, Clayhall, Fairlop, Fullwell, Hainault and Roding. The MP is Lee Scott of the Conservative Party. Ilford South corresponds to the Redbridge wards of Chadwell, Clementswood, Cranbrook, Goodmayes, Loxford, Mayfield, Newbury, Seven Kings, and Valentines. The MP is Mike Gapes of the Labour Party. Ilford forms part of the Havering and Redbridge London Assembly constituency and the London European Parliament constituency.
