After suffering with a frozen shoulder for six months, I tried acupuncture. After a few sessions I was very surprised at the amount of movement I had back in my shoulder. Mrs Li was very helpful and pleasant each time.

My treatment was professional, friendly, welcoming and personal. I would recommend the clinic and will certainly use it again. It was my first experience of complementary medicine and a very positive one.

My son came for treatment while experiencing severe pain and difficulty walking or sitting. He was treated very well, and it was lovely to see him smiling and coping better.
