Still in pain, even after trying everything? Duncan finds what others miss

Acupuncture · Myofascial Bodywork · Holborn · Central London

Most people arrive at Acubody after years of partial treatments. A physio helps the knee but not the hip. Medication took the edge off the anxiety, but the headaches returned. A change in diet improved digestion but energy remained low.

Duncan takes a different view. Trained as an acupuncturist since 2003 (BAcC Member, MSc) and as a myofascial and neuromuscular bodyworker since 2006 (MISRM) he works to understand how your systems interact- musculoskeletal, neurological, hormonal, digestive- and builds a treatment plan that addresses the hidden drivers, not only the presenting complaint.

This is particularly effective for complex or multi sysytem conditions: hormonal imbalance, menstrual irregularity and back pain for example. IBS alongside chronic pain, anxiety with fatigue and physical tension, hypermobility syndromes or long standing issues that have not responded to standard care. No cookie-cutter treatments.

Acupuncture treatments involve the insertion of fine needles into specific areas, which are left in place for 15-30 minutes.

Acupuncture needles are extremely fine and are generally painless. Many patients report a sense of deep relaxation during and after their treatment. While some may feel a slight pressure as the needle is inserted, this sensation typically fades quickly. Your practitioner will continuously check in to ensure you’re comfortable and relaxed throughout your session. We only use the highest quality needles to guarantee the best experience for you.
