Cupping

Cupping is just another aspect of Chinese medicine. This method is used to stimulate acupuncture points by applying suction and partial vacuum created by heating up the cups. You can use wood, metal or more often glass jars are most commonly used.

Cupping can be safely used for aches and pains such as backache, sprains, or soft tissue injuries. It is also beneficial for relieving fluid from the lungs during periods of severe chest infections or chronic bronchitis. The cups can be left in place over specific points on the body, mainly the back or used in conjunction with oil to produce a relaxing massage effect on tired tense muscles.

 

 What clients have said about my services

I had suffered for nearly ten years with a shoulder problem which caused me pain and limited movement; I wasn’t able to swim or lift and it became so bad that I had an appointment for surgery, which I was told by the surgeon was the only treatment for what he diagnosed as Acute Calcific Tendonitis.

That was three years ago and I still have no pain or limitation, I regularly go swimming and I’m so glad I didn’t go through with the surgery. 

I’m really grateful to Sarah for improving my quality of life and If you are thinking of seeing her I would strongly recommend you do.

I was treated by Sarah Strudwick in 2002 for menopausal symptoms, using acupuncture. I chose this as I did not want to take HRT in any shape or form.

The treatment proved to be very effective for me, and 5 years later I very rarely have any hot flushes or other symptoms. 

I would recommend this to anyone as an excellent alternative to HRT.

I found my acupuncture sessions with Sarah to be relaxing and calming, and her realistic approach to dealing with my complaint was reassuring. I would thoroughly recommend her service

I hadn't had a period for over 3 months and had been suffering from stress at college. After only one treatment with acupuncture from Sarah my periods started the following day. On top of that I had a few more treatments and my stress levels went right down and I felt much calmer.
