Treating Children

 

The benefits of acupuncture without needles

We have experience treating children from the age of 4, young children can benefit from acupressure treatment, as an alternative to acupuncture, using the same balancing and healing effects. Older children and teenagers may wish to have needles used in conjunction with acupuncture techniques.

An acupressure ‘probe’ is used which does not pierce the skin.  Very accurate pressure is used on the acupuncture points. 

Treatments are carried out with the parent or guardian present at all times.  It can help children with many challenges such as headaches, sinus problems, bedwetting, sleep and behavioural problems.

What does acupressure involve?

This gentle style uses the same process as for acupuncture, except that instead of needles, very accurate pressure is used on acupuncture points. As with acupuncture,  these treatments are tailored to your unique needs.
