Acupuncture
Traditional Chinese Medical acupuncture uses ultra-fine needles to stimulate energy flow and promote natural healing. This treatment addresses chronic pain, stress, and hormonal imbalances through precise meridian point stimulation. Backed by NHS recommendations, it effectively manages conditions like migraines, arthritis, and digestive disorders while improving sleep and emotional wellbeing.
Zen Shiatsu
Zen Shiatsu combines Japanese acupressure with energy work to release tension and restore energy balance. Using hands, elbows, and knees, this gentle therapy improves circulation, reduces stress, and alleviates musculoskeletal pain. It's particularly effective for clients sensitive to needles, offering similar benefits through physical pressure rather than acupuncture.
Cupping Therapy
Cupping therapy uses suction to release muscle tension and improve blood flow. This technique draws toxins to the surface while promoting tissue regeneration, leaving temporary circular marks that fade with treatment. It's particularly beneficial for athletes and those with chronic back pain, enhancing recovery and reducing inflammation through increased circulation.
Sports Massage
Sports massage integrates deep tissue techniques with injury rehabilitation to treat musculoskeletal conditions. This therapy reduces recovery time, improves flexibility, and prevents future injuries through targeted pressure and stretching. It addresses specific concerns like tennis elbow, plantar fasciitis, and postural imbalances while complementing acupuncture treatments.
Ear Acupuncture
Ear acupuncture follows the NADA protocol to address addiction, stress, and emotional health. This five-session bundle targets specific points on the ear to manage withdrawal symptoms and cravings, particularly for smoking cessation. Combining body points with ear stimulation creates a comprehensive approach to breaking addictive patterns and restoring mental equilibrium.

Report
I suffer from acute migraines, neck and upper back pain. I have been taking medication for my migraines for years and they were increasing in severity. Lots of tests had been done and my GP and I were looking at possible medical intervention. Acupuncture was suggested and I was so lucky to find Helen at Bubbling Spring Clinic. I booked a course of treatments to begin with. Helen was professional, friendly and made me feel at ease. Everything was explained clearly, as I was nervous and didn't know what to expect. The treatment has really helped my migraines, I have now reduced the amount of medication

From the first treatment, I felt like a new person. Helen takes into account everything that is going on physically and mentally, and adapts treatment accordingly to give great results.
Helen has a very calming, sympathetic manner and is happy to answer questions. I am very pleased to have found Helen and wish I had come to her sooner... I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her

After a very stressful period in my life, Helen was recommended. She has been helping to address my major issues with insomnia and last night I had my first full night's sleep (after about 8 sessions) Every time I see Helen, I sleep better. She is very knowledgeable; her clinic is peaceful and tranquil. I can strongly recommend her. Thank you, Helen.
