Acupuncture,

Shiatsu & Qigong,

Living Well with Alex Turner Lic Ac.

Welcome to Alex Turner Therapies

Based on over 25 years of clinical experience, my aim is to offer you a professional ‘Whole Person’ approach to supporting your health and well being. This personalized and Integrated approach supports emotional, mental and physical health as a whole system rather than as separate parts.

Getting the most from your treatment.

Being a practitioner of Acupuncture, Shiatsu and Qigong means that I can use one or a combination of these disciplines to offer a comprehensive service.

I will spend time working with you to develop small, sustainable and enjoyable ways to build up your health and become more resilient to the problems life can throw at us.

Your initial consultation and treatment lasts an hour and a half, so there will be plenty of time for you to explain your health concerns and feel listened to carefully and compassionately. You will have time to discuss and ask questions if you are unsure of anything concerning your health and your treatment.

Research shows that acupuncture and shiatsu are safe and effective.

Both acupuncture and shiatsu can be effective for a wide range of health problems and due to their increasing use alongside conventional medicine, there is a growing body of evidence and high quality research emerging to confirm this.

Acupuncture is now being used in NHS general practices as well as the majority of pain clinics and hospices around the UK.

Currently, the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) recommend considering acupuncture for chronic tension-type headaches and migraines. There is also some evidence that acupuncture works for neck pain and post-chemotherapy side effects such as nausea, vomiting and chronic fatigue.

The areas I have a particular interest in are Cancer Care and the various conditions that are symptomatic of stress, including insomnia, back pain, musculoskeletal problems, migraines, IBS, anxiety and depression.
