Acupuncture has been practised for thousands of years, with roots tracing back to ancient China. Its utility in modern healthcare has evolved significantly, transcending its conventional boundaries to touch diverse disciplines, including sports medicine. One revolutionary method that stands out is Anthony Lombardi’s Exstore system, a sports acupuncture technique designed to assess and treat athletes effectively and quickly.
Dry needling is a potential treatment option for a variety of conditions, including back pain, neck pain, headaches, and more. By targeting specific trigger points in the body, dry needling may help relieve pain and tension and promote relaxation.
It is important to note that dry needling is not a cure for any condition, and it may not be effective for everyone. It is also important to see a qualified practitioner who is experienced in dry needling.
If you are considering dry needling, be sure to talk to your doctor first.

There’s nothing ‘humerus’ about elbow pain – otherwise known as ‘epicondylitis’ or tennis elbow. But here is something to put a smile on your face: research shows acupuncture can be helpful in easing epicondylitis.
What exactly is tennis elbow?
Epicondylitis is commonly referred to as tennis elbow, golfer’s elbow, or – my new favourite – mouse elbow (relating to computer mice, not Mickey). Considered an ‘overuse condition’, epicondylitis causes pain in either the inner or outer part of the elbow.
What are the causes of tennis elbow?
Tennis elbow (or epicondylitis) is caused by repeated contraction of the forearm causing tiny tears in the tendon that attaches to the elbow.

The first meal of the day is an important one – we haven’t eaten for at least 10 hours and our digestive system is ready and raring to go. With the right food, we start the day clear headed, with lots of energy to get us to lunch (without the hangrys), sugar lows, and brain fog that comes with eating the standard packaged cereals.
Chinese medicine is a holistic approach to healthcare that focuses on the body’s natural healing ability. It is based on the concept of qi (pronounced chee) and blood, which is the life force energy that flows through the body. According to Chinese medicine, illness and disease occur when qi and blood is blocked or unbalanced. Chinese medicine uses various techniques to restore the balance and flow of qi and blood including acupuncture, herbal medicine, dietary therapy, and exercise.
