A Personalised, Root-Cause Approach to Health

At AcuBath, we combine Traditional Chinese Medicine, Five Element Acupuncture, Master Tung Acupuncture and modern Functional Medicine principles to provide personalised, evidence-informed care for a wide range of physical, emotional and chronic health concerns.

Acupuncture is a safe and well-established therapy that has been used for thousands of years to support the body’s natural ability to heal, regulate and restore balance. Using ultra-fine sterile needles placed at carefully selected points on the body, Acupuncture may help reduce pain, calm the nervous system, improve circulation and support overall wellbeing.

Our approach goes beyond symptom management alone. We aim to understand the wider picture of your health, exploring how factors such as stress, sleep, hormones, inflammation, digestion, lifestyle and nervous system regulation may be contributing to imbalance.

Acupuncture may be helpful for:

  • Chronic pain and musculoskeletal conditions

  • Neck pain, back pain and sports injuries

  • Stress, anxiety and burnout

  • Fatigue and nervous system dysregulation

  • Menopause and hormonal imbalance

  • Digestive issues including bloating and IBS

  • Migraines and headaches

  • Sleep disturbances

  • Neurological conditions and rehabilitation support

  • Long-term and complex health concerns

Traditional Chinese Medicine & Five Element Acupuncture

Julie practises an integrated style of Acupuncture, combining both Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) and Five Element Acupuncture.

Traditional Chinese Medicine focuses on identifying patterns of imbalance within the body’s systems and may be particularly effective for physical symptoms such as pain, digestive issues, hormonal imbalance and chronic illness.

Five Element Acupuncture takes a more individualised and constitutional approach, considering the emotional, mental and energetic aspects of health alongside physical symptoms.

Together, these approaches provide deeply personalised treatment tailored to the individual rather than simply the condition.

Master Tung Acupuncture

Julie has also undertaken additional training in Master Tung Acupuncture, an advanced and highly effective Acupuncture system known for its powerful distal point combinations and clinical results.

Master Tung Acupuncture is often used to support:

  • Acute and chronic pain

  • Musculoskeletal conditions

  • Neurological symptoms

  • Mobility and rehabilitation

  • Internal medicine conditions

This approach can often produce fast and effective results while using relatively few needles.

Electro-Acupuncture

Electro-Acupuncture combines traditional Acupuncture with gentle electrical stimulation to enhance therapeutic effects.

This technique may be particularly beneficial for:

  • Chronic pain

  • Muscle tension and spasm

  • Sciatica and nerve pain

  • Sports injuries

  • Arthritis and joint pain

  • Neurological rehabilitation

The gentle rhythmic stimulation helps improve circulation, reduce inflammation and support the body’s natural healing processes.

Cupping Therapy

Cupping is a traditional therapy used to improve circulation, release muscular tension and support recovery from pain and inflammation.

Using specialised suction cups, this treatment helps stimulate blood flow and may be beneficial for:

  • Tight muscles and fascia restriction

  • Neck and shoulder tension

  • Back pain

  • Sports recovery

  • Stress and tension headaches

Cupping is often combined with Acupuncture as part of an integrated treatment approach.

Gua Sha

Gua Sha is a traditional East Asian therapy involving gentle scraping of the skin using smooth-edged tools to stimulate circulation and release tension.

It may help:

  • Reduce muscular tightness

  • Improve mobility

  • Support lymphatic drainage

  • Relieve chronic tension

  • Promote recovery and circulation

Gua Sha is frequently used alongside Acupuncture and cupping treatments.

Moxibustion & Tui Na

Moxibustion uses gentle heat applied to Acupuncture points to support circulation, warmth and healing within the body.

Tui Na is a form of Chinese medical massage used to release tension, improve mobility and support musculoskeletal health.

These therapies may be incorporated into treatment where clinically appropriate as part of a fully personalised approach.

Acupuncture & Functional Medicine

At AcuBath, Acupuncture is often combined with Functional Medicine principles to provide a more integrated, root-cause focused approach to health.

This may include exploring:

  • Nutrition

  • Gut health

  • Hormonal health

  • Stress and nervous system regulation

  • Sleep

  • Inflammation

  • Lifestyle and environmental factors

By combining traditional wisdom with modern Functional Medicine thinking, we aim to support long-term health rather than simply short-term symptom relief.
