Other Treatments

Moxibustion

Moxibustion is a form of gentle and relaxing heat treatment that can be applied in the clinic or by the patient in their own home environment. It is very effective for certain types of painful or inflammatory conditions.

Cupping

Ba Guan – Cupping therapy has been used in China for thousands of years. The earliest records of its use date from 28 AD. Cupping regulates the flow of Qi and blood by drawing out and eliminating pathogenic factors.

Prepared Herbal Prescription

Patent Herbs are premixed herb combinations according to traditional formulas. They are usually in the form of a pill, a capsule, or in a liquid. The advantages are that they are convenient, easy to take and inexpensive.

Dietary Therapy

TCM places a lot of importance on the type and quality of food we eat and our eating habits. How we eat is as important as what we eat. Food therapy is a vast area within TCM and each patient needs to be assessed individually.

Qi Gong

Qi Gong is an ancient Chinese method of nourishing your life by focusing on energy, intelligence and the spirit. Qi Gong methods are simple to learn and easy to practise. However, Qi Gong methods are never random.

Prescribed herbs

Prescribed herbs are mixed by the practitioner according to individual patient symptoms and diagnosis. Generally speaking they are more effective than patented medicines because they are tailored specifically to the individual. They are generally taken as a tea.

After suffering with a chronic illness for nearly two years I was in despair of ever feeling better, thankfully with Gerry's help I have been able to regain my strength and energy and to feel like I have my life back. From the outset I was treated with the utmost kindness and it was evident that the patient's welfare was the main priority. I have recommended Gerry to my friends and family and they are all aware of how he was been a huge factor in my recovery. I cannot recommend him highly enough!

C Quinn
My mother who is 91 has been attending Gerry for an number of years with different ailments. She always comes away from a treatment with great relief. Her main problem has been knee pain and at times we thought she would have difficulty walking again but after a couple of sessions with Gerry she is back walking again. If we have an emergency Gerry will always fit her into his schedule. We cannot recommend Gerry highly enough.
