Dr Rusel Last (registered Oriental Medicine practitioner) is a fellow of the Australian Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine Association. He is registered with AHPRA, the Australian government's regulatory authority. Rusel has a Masters Degree in Acupuncture-Evidence-Based Medicine, and has provided family friendly integrated health solutions for over 30 years. Integral Healing is a Traditional East Asian Medicine General Practice where we help people with every ill that ails. From the common cold to that horrible flu, from bad backs to frozen shoulders, from infertility and pregnancy care to PMT, from headaches to chronic fatigue, from paralysis to stroke recovery, from weight loss to insomnia, from asthma and allergies to emphysema. Rusel believes passionately in helping people to help themselves. Your consultation will take a holistic approach and look at diet, stress management, exercise, sleep and emotional wellbeing. You will leave the clinic with some form of homework, be it stretches, diet, stress management or just getting good sleep; so you can begin to help yourself heal. Rusel's approach gets results. A common story we hear is someone who might have been in pain for over 20 years as a result of an accident or injury and no other practitioner has helped. Rusel gets results where other people haven't. Colds and flu happen, but herbal medicine can lessen the duration and symptoms of them. Treat a cold when you feel that first tickle and you can turn things around quickly without the need for antibiotics and so help keep your gut microbiome healthy. Rusel is a massage therapist of forty years experience and recognises the importance of postural integration and the effect it has on general health. Would you like to grow a herb in your garden that you can use in a tea for health? Rusel will show you how. Learn stretches and meditation to help you deal with the stress of every day life. Lose weight with Rusel's own weight loss program. Acupuncture and herbal medicine are suitable for all ages and all problems. Gentle, effective, friendly.
