Cosmetic acupuncture is an increasingly explored approach to facial rejuvenation, with emerging research examining its potential effects on the appearance of facial lines.

Here, I am focusing on the flagellate (frown) lines using targeted cosmetic acupuncture.

A glimpse at my new clinic space coming this Autumn. Same location but upstairs in the Manor House with the most stunning view.

A space to continue doing the work I love, with new offerings and a calm space for training other therapists.

It’s always nice to finish a treatment in supine and some general shoulder mobilisations to open up the chest. I love working the fascial front line especially in the neck… it’s not deep just focused and accurate myofascial release. It feels amazing and really alters the head positioning so super helpful to anyone with a forward head posture.

All my therapy work is individualised but this gives you a flavour of how and why I work and I just love it and I’m so grateful you all trust me with your bodies.

Some dry needling techniques to get deeper into the muscles. In conjunction with other massage techniques these are the game changers. Not only will they quickly release tension they will slim down the face and jaw line too!

Not painful and needles are not left in situ for hours.

Just because the clicking is in the left jaw further assessment of both sides is needed to look for a deviation on opening and closing.

In this case the bottom jaw on opening deviates to the right. This may mean there is tight muscle restriction on this side.

A few videos documenting a client with hypertonic jaw muscles and tension in the TMJ. Using a multi treatment approach can really help release tension and increase jaw opening.

The treatment is an hour and I have picked the best clips to help see a fly on the wall insight into my work. I use cliniseptplus which is a cleansing anti microbial and digital consent forms before any treatment is carried out.

I hope you find it interesting.

I’m gonna miss you all. It’s been great watching you all become truly skilful soft tissue therapists. Good luck tomorrow with your final exam and going forward into the future. Keep in touch! Sorry couldn’t tag you all as I don’t know all your Insta profiles.

Jaw pain is so miserable. The strong muscles that operate the jaw can become chronically tense. I’ve created a blended treatment of targeted soft tissue release, myofascial work inside the jaw and acupuncture to release deep rooted tension with massage to the deep neck and scalp muscles. You don’t need to suffer come and see me for treatment. It’s one of my favourite treatments as the results are instant.
