Wishing everyone a Happy and Healthy2022 - please see the details below which carry over from my initial return to work after the first national lockdown.
  


To all my lovely patients - at last, it seems as if the week commencing 6th July2020 I can start to reopen my clinics!

Although there will be a few differences ie. face masks and various hygiene protocols which I will detail later, I am so looking forward to seeing you all again. I will have to keep each appointment strictly to 45min, to allow 15mins cleaning time between patients.  On arrival, enter the clinic and please apply the hand antibac gel.

Face masks will be necessary too, so please bring your own, or I can supply one at a cost of £1 per mask.

Initially, my working hours will be Monday at Cowdray 2-7.00pm and Wednesdays at The Redwood Suite from 8.30-17.00.

If you would like to make an appointment at Cowdray for Monday afternoons, please phone or email me directly. 07976278512 paulacreasy@gmail.com

If you would like to make an appointment at The Redwood Suite for Wednesdays, please phone Reception on 01730 811415
 It is vital that any Covid19 type symptoms are not present on the days leading up to treatment - no charge will be made for any last minute cancellations if this is the case.

To reduce the risk of any infections, please wait in your car until you are called or waved in by myself or my receptionist. If you would like to be covered, please may I ask you to bring along your own towel or small blanket.

When making your appointment - please allow a little extra time for possible delays - my prime concern is for everyone’s health and safety, and if I feel I need more time to prepare the treatment room hygienically - please be patient and allow me to ensure I am happy with all the necessary hygiene protocols between patients.

It all sounds a bit daunting initially, but I am positive that we will all relax into this new system and I am really looking forward to offering a wonderful service - with a few new skills that I have been studying online during lockdown, as well as returning reinvigorated from this enforced rest!

If any one has any concerns or would like clarification on anything, please do not hesitate to contact me - I am always happy to chat through any problems or advise those who are unsure if they should resume treatment at this stage.

All the very best

Paula




​​Acupuncture is one of the longest established forms of healthcare in the world. Acupuncturists are trained to use subtle diagnostic techniques that have been developed and refined for thousands of years.

​The focus is on you as an individual, not your illness, and all symptoms are seen in relation to each other. Treatment involves the insertion of very fine needles into specific points on the body to affect the flow of your body’s qi, or vital energy.

How does acupuncture work?
​

Acupuncturists insert very fine needles at precisely located points to connect with your body’s qi. They will decide which points are right for you  after a detailed consultation covering every aspect of your health and lifestyle. The aim is to direct the flow of qi to trigger your
body’s healing response and to restore physical,emotional and mental equilibrium. Treatment is designed to affect your whole being as well as your symptoms so, as the condition being treated improves, you may notice other health problems resolve and an increased feeling of wellbeing. 

During the first appointment, a detailed case history is taken, pulses felt on each wrist – which correspond to the meridians of qi energy in the body, to understand the overall balance of the patient.  The Acupuncturist can tell which meridians are under or over active before treatment, and pulses are checked during and after treatment so as to know when the body is becoming more balanced.  Tongue diagnosis is also used to gain an ‘inside look’ into the body – tongue coating, colour and cracks are all very useful diagnostic tools for the acupuncturist.
 
 
What are the benefits of acupuncture?


A growing body of evidence-based clinical research is discovering how the body responds to acupuncture and its benefits for a wide range of common health conditions. A lot of people have acupuncture to relieve specific aches and pains, such as osteoarthritis of the knee, headaches and low back pain, or for common health problems and sports injuries.  Other people choose acupuncture when they can feel their bodily functions are out of balance, but they have no obvious diagnosis. And many have regular treatments because they find it so beneficial and relaxing.
 
Are there any side effects?


Occasionally a small bruise can appear at a needle site. Sometimes people can feel dizzy or tired after a treatment but this passes quickly.
 
 Does acupuncture hurt?

Acupuncture needles are so fine that most people don’t feel them being inserted. It is normal to feel a mild tingle or dull ache as the acupuncturist adjusts the needle to direct Qi. While the needles are in place most people feel deeply relaxed which can continue after they are removed.
 
 Where are the acupuncture points?
 
Acupuncture points are located at precise places along interconnected pathways that map the whole body, including the head, trunk and limbs. The most commonly used acupuncture points are on the lower arms and legs.
