I was diagnosed with an arthritic hip, I contacted Hua for help as I was in a lot of discomfort.
Hua saw me and constructed an exercise program to improve my mobility. This made a massive difference difference to my wellbeing and mobility and now thanks to Hua's treatment I very rarely suffer any pain.

I have been to see Hua 7/8 years ago, on recommendation, for a tennis elbow issue, her method made total sense and I was all sorted in 3 weeks. I have had back and knees issues for 2/3 years now , spent too much on other methods with little results, until I decided to see Hua again. One month on and a little effort from my part and I am as good as new. I cannot find a way to speak highly enough. She is amazing and so gentle. A real blessing.

Absolutely brilliant physio and acupuncturist. Highly professional and educated (medical degrees etc) but with a deep intuition and understanding built up over many years of her own experience and of her many, many patients. Cannot recommend enough. I arrived with shoulder nerve and muscle pain going back 20 years which was waking me up in the night and requiring exercises in the middle of the night to be able to sleep. I was better after just 2 sessions (wanted to do one more but went away) and thanks to the detailed and very clear exercise instructions, I am able to self-maintain ever since

I came to see Hua after I developed pain in my lower back, she did a fantastic initial assessment and explained to me why my back had become painful and what I had needed to do to rectify it. Two months later and the pain has completely gone.
