Alternative Therapy in Hackney!

Richard Steven is your therapist at Breathe Therapies on Stoke Newington Church Street, Hackney. Richard is a qualified Acupuncturist with years of experience in the U.K. and a Bachelor of Medicine degree from the prestigious Beijing University Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine. He is also a member of the Association of Traditional Chinese Medicine (ATCM). Richard has recently set up clinic in Hackney and due to his growing reputation in various alternative therapies and especially acupuncture,  clients are  coming from as far as Watford.

What is Acupuncture?

Acupuncture aims to correct and balance our natural energy (Qi) flow through our pathways,(meridians) around the body. Imbalances in the Qi can result in both physical and psychological symptoms. According to Traditional Chinese Medicine disease occurs when the balance and flow of our natural Qi is disrupted or blocked. This can be caused by external factors such as weather, diet or by internal factors such as emotional disharmonies.

Conditions commonly  treated  naturally and successfully with alternative therapy  include:

• Allergies
• Stress
• Depression
•  Menstrual Problems
• Infertility - Male & Female
• Eczema, Psoriasis
• Indigestion, IBS
• Back Pain, Sciatica
• Sports Injuries
  

Your local Hackney  alternative therapist  will diagnose your condition and will prepare a specialised course of treatment  for you.

Does Alternative Therapy work?

More and more Hackney residents are seeing and enjoying the positive effects of Alternative Therapy. There is a rapidly growing body of professional clinical research that proves the efficacy of alternative therapy. The  NHS  appreciates the benefits of alternative therapy and  now employs acupuncturists in many hospitals. Your therapist will be able to give you more details.

Apart from being an Acupuncturist, Richard also offers a number of additional therapies that complement his acupuncture treatments. He practises:

• Chinese Herbal Medicine: this is excellent in the treatment of gynaecological problems, infertility, skin disease and chronic, stubborn medical conditions.
• Moxibustion: This works by warming targeted points on the body by indirectly burning herbs on them.
• Tui Na Massage: This is a highly effective acupressure massage technique that can be used to complement acupuncture or as a treatment in it's own right.
