With the recent surge of interest in Eastern healing solutions to illnesses, it often seems like the east and western medicinal practices are at odds with each other. This is not always the case. Now more and more osteopaths are recommending that clients do both: a combination of Western osteopathy and Eastern acupuncture.

Originating from the Far East, acupuncture takes a holistic approach to health and encompasses a practice which has been refined over the past 2000 years. Its underlying philosophy holds that health is dependent on the free flow of our bodys energy " known as Qi " through a system of pathways that lie beneath the skin. All pathways are linked to the vital organs, so if the flow of Qi is upset in some way (i.e. by emotional turmoil or physical injury), the bodys health and harmony is disrupted.
