Sports Injuries

Chinese medicine is excellent for the treatment of sports injuries, whether acute or chronic. It differs from conventional treatment in that it uses a combination of methods to give your injury the best possible chance of an early recovery.
The main therapies used are:

External Herbal Therapy

Lotions and liniments to stimulate local circulation, alleviate pain, and promote healing in the injured tissues.

Internal Herbal Therapy

Herbal teas, pills and tinctures that help to reduce inflammation and strengthen the body’s ability to heal itself.

Physical Techniques

Treatment methods that directly manipulate, stimulate or warm the affected area such as cupping, acupuncture/acupressure, massage and moxibustion to break up the accumulations of stagnant fluids that can lead to chronic pain and dysfunction.

Health Rehabilitation

This includes dietary advice, stretching exercises and strength training, that can be carried out at home.
