Traditional Chinese Medicine can be used to treat acute and chronic conditions, as a compliment to other Western Medicine treatments, to enhance recovery from illness and healing from injury, to promote wellbeing and strengthen the immune system.

At Good Bodies we recognise that there are many facets to health and many factors that interact with our wellness. With this in mind we understand that sometimes improved health looks like a cure, sometimes it is symptom relief and other times it is support to face the complexity of our ever changing health. Your practitioner will work with you to find out what you are hoping to get from your treatment. We are always transparent about what we think can be achieved through Traditional Chinese Medicine, and the scope and limitations of our practice.

The World Health Organisation recognises acupuncture as a legitimate treatment in a wide range of illnesses and conditions. These include, but aren’t limited to: respiratory conditions, gastrointestinal conditions, musculoskeletal conditions, neurologic conditions, reproductive and gynecological conditions, mental health conditions, and conditions relating to sensory organs.

We don’t want price do be a barrier to accessing the care you need. If for any reason paying $60 makes your appointment possible, rather than impossible, then you can opt for our accessibility rate for first treatments or follow ups, no questions asked.

Once you book an appointment you will be securely emailed a form to fill out before your visit.

During the consultation your practitioner will ask you about the reason for your visit and collect some more details about your health. Traditional Chinese Medicine is a holistic system, which means we will want to know about a variety of things that according to our theories may affect your health and wellbeing. You may answer, or decline to answer, as you feel comfortable.

Your practitioner will want to look at your tongue, and feel your pulses (on each wrist). These are diagnostic tools that are very important in Traditional Chinese Medicine. Your practitioner may also ask to palpate (touch) some specific areas, for example your lower leg. Permission will always be asked and you are welcome to decline.

Once the information is collected your practitioner will come up with a diagnosis, a treatment plan and treatment goals. They will explain any treatment that is going to take place, and it will only begin once you understand what will happen and if you decide that it sounds right for you. Consent is an ongoing agreement, and can be withdrawn at any point.
