• Acupuncturist: Ian Stones 

An acupuncturist is a complementary health practitioner who takes a holistic approach to the maintenance of health and the management of disease, with a focus on improving overall wellbeing.
Acupuncture is an ancient Chinese holistic therapy based on the theory that the body depends on life energy, known as qi, being in balance. Acupuncturists correct imbalances in the body by inserting fine needles into acupuncture points, thus maintaining or restoring good health and wellbeing.
The correct manipulation of qi can treat a range of emotional and physical conditions, such as:

• musculo-skeletal disorders;
• respiratory and circulatory disorders;
• gastrointestinal disorders;
• gynaecological disorders;
• neurological and stress-related disorders;
• the relief of pain and allergies.
