A behind-the-scenes look at a typical blood letting session on the upper back 🩸🌿

Blood letting is a specialised technique used in certain cases to support circulation, release tension, and address pain patterns. Each session is carefully tailored to the individual — it’s not for everyone, but when used appropriately, it’s a powerful tool in a holistic treatment plan.

👉 If you think this might help your pain or tension, book a consultation online or get in touch with us to discuss your options!

Needles — it’s kind of our thing 😏🌿

Acupuncture is both an art and a science. Each tiny needle is placed with intention, targeting specific points to support your body’s natural healing, improve circulation, and ease pain. Every session is tailored to the individual, so while the needles may look similar, the plan is always unique to you.

👉 Curious about acupuncture? Book your session online or contact us to experience it for yourself!

What Is Your Body Trying to Tell You? 🌿

Your body is constantly sending signals — tension, discomfort, or fatigue are its way of asking for attention. From tight shoulders and necks, poor sleep, headaches, or digestive issues, each sign is an invitation to pause and listen.

Acupuncture and tailored care at AAC can help support your body in finding balance, improving circulation, calming the nervous system, and easing pain — so you can move through life with more ease.

👉 If any of these signs sound familiar, book your appointment online or contact us to discuss how we can help!

Pain shows up differently for everyone, and no two treatment plans are the same. If any of these sound familiar — or if pain has been quietly limiting your day-to-day — support may be closer than you think.

Hot weather can place extra strain on the body 🌞

In Traditional Chinese Medicine, summer heat can deplete fluids and create internal imbalance, which may show up as fatigue, headaches, irritability, or increased tension. Supporting your body with hydration, cooling foods, rest, and gentle movement can help you stay balanced through the warmer months.

Acupuncture is often used as part of seasonal care to support circulation, regulate the nervous system, and help the body adapt to heat more comfortably.

👉 Book your appointment online or get in touch with the clinic to support your body this summer!

From the introspective Year of the Snake to the dynamic Year of the Fire Horse 🐍➡️🐎

Where the Snake invites stillness and internal awareness, the Fire Horse brings movement, heat, momentum, and action. This shift can feel energising — but only when the body has a stable foundation beneath it.

Taking time now to settle tension, improve circulation, and reconnect with your body helps you step into the Horse year with more ease, resilience, and balance — especially when it comes to managing pain and movement. ⚖💪🌿🌸

Book your acupuncture session today and start the year with your body supported and ready for action!
