Acupuncture has been proven to relieve a wide range of underlying constitutional and emotional conditions that affect every day life ~ poor sleep, lost appetite, bowel or bladder malfunctions, together with helping clients to deal with such emotional problems as suppressed anger, shock, grief, fear, sadness, loss or worry. Thus, by using Acupuncture to help alleviate some of the more fundamental problems, the client is left free to benefit from their other therapy at The Stretch Clinic.
