"For several years I have been suffering with . This continued for over 10 years and eventually spread through my whole body mainly affecting my muscles. After several treatments with a chiropractor I managed to get better. However, a year ago I accidentally picked up something from the floor and my back started to ache again. Unfortunately .
I was seen by a consultant through my GP who diagnosed me with a syndrome called 'fibromyalgia'. I had over 8 months treatment with the chiropractor yet again, but in vain!! It was suggested/advised for me to try out acupuncture which I did. At the beginning of my acupuncture treatment I was unable to walk as it affected my legs and especially my knees. I had difficultly sleeping, standing, sitting, walking and going up the stairs was agony.
The acupuncture treatment I have been receiving through Emily has brought strength into my legs and body. Emily did a complete consultation which was thorough. She took the time to explain everything to me in detail about acupuncture and how it works. She is very reassuring, sympathetic and the treatments I have received are never rushed but are dealt with in a superb manner. She made me feel very comfortable and positive. The results of acupuncture has made me feel different and to walk again properly is a great delight.
After every treatment I feel relaxed, fully of energy and it seems to give me strength. Due to the improvement of my health, I am able to do my keep fit class, sleep better, walk again and enjoy my everyday activities. Considering all the standing I do working in a school, acupuncture has had a fantastic response for me.
The massage [gua sha] that I receive with oils rubbed into my muscles is so beneficial; it takes away the pain and makes me feel comfortable. The treatment seems to take away the stress and I am more relaxed after a session.
I would highly recommend acupuncture and have to admit Emily has changed my life for me through her work. Thank you Emily."
