What are the benefits of acupuncture?

  • There are many reasons why people choose acupuncture – the application is wide.  For more information on the evidence base for acupuncture for a range of conditions, you can visit: https://acupuncture.org.uk/about-acupuncture/acupuncture-research/evidence-a-z/
  • It has a grounding in centuries of Chinese medicine wisdom, acknowledging each patient as an individual affected by both external and internal factors.  Practitioners look to address the root cause of any presenting complaints, not just symptoms, for a longer lasting result.
  • The aim is to balance physical and emotional imbalances where they are found, as well as to give lifestyle advice to empower the patient.

What are the benefits of massage?

Massage has numerous benefits for the body and the mind, as more and more scientific studies indicate.  Even if you do not have any particular issues, treatment will help to relax and refresh your body.

Many believe that massage can help with the following:

  • Alleviation of muscle tension, which can be manifested in tightness or nodules (knots)
  • By stimulating circulation of blood, nutrients, oxygen and lymph, it is argued that the systems of the body are encouraged to work more effectively
  • Improvement of posture, aided by addressing muscle imbalance, assisted stretches and strengthening exercises, and homecare advice
  • Reduces stress levels potentially due to its effects on the autonomic nervous system and blood pressure.
  • Release of the feel-good hormones, endorphins
  • Improvement in the range of motion in joints – e.g. by releasing adhesions and mobilizing the joints

Whenever possible throughout my adult life (now approaching 70), I have always had massages as I believe in their importance to living a healthy life in general as well as when our body has specific issues. It is from this perspective I say Catherine Stone is the best practitioner I have ever had. I only wish I had found her sooner. An expert in different styles of massage in addition to a background in Chinese Medicine and acupuncture, her deep grounding in and knowledge of these various methods enables her to respond intuitively to what best serves her client's needs at that moment. As a result, decades long arthritic conditions have improved beyond my expectations giving me confidence of movement and the overall experience of 'inhabiting' my body generally is one of increasing freedom and ease. Thank you, Catherine.

As someone who take his sport and exercise very seriously, finding a good massage therapist is very important to me. After more than two decades in London and numerous therapists, I can say without hesitation that Catherine is quite simply the best. I cannot recommend her highly enough.

Catherine is brilliant. Friendly and professional. Always manages to fit me in and does the best massages! Catherine tailors the massage to the occasion, finding the bits that need work rather than just doing the same thing regardless of what she finds. Great at neck massages too which I have found previous masseurs often weren't good at. Catherine has also advised on stretches that may help too. Thoroughly recommended.

Catherine is just great. I’ve been going to her for nearly a year now, and I always leave feeling so much better than at the beginning of our session. She has a deep knowledge across a range of massages. She’s very versatile, and receptive to how you’re feeling that particular day and what you might need. Couldn’t recommend her enough.

Catherine is friendly and a fantastic therapist! I've had both regular massages and now the pregnancy massage and Catherine never fails to deliver: pain relief and best night of sleep guaranteed after a massage. She is knowledgeable, listen to your concerns and address them putting extra attention in areas of discomfort. I have a really bad low back/hips and she is the only one I trust massaging these areas. I'm such a fan that I can't hear someone complaining of muscular/ back pain without recommending her!
