Spring of Life Therapy

Traditional Chinese Medicine is based on an ancient philosophy that describes the universe, and the body, in terms of two complementary opposite forces: yin and yang. When these forces are in balance, the body is healthy. Energy, called "qi" flows along specific pathways, called meridians, throughout the body. This constant flow of energy keeps the yin and yang forces balanced. However, if the qi gets blocked, like water in a blocked pipe, the disruption and imbalance can lead to pain, lack of function, or illness. Chinese healing therapies can release blocked qi in the body, stimulate function and evoke the body's natural healing responses. Modern research has demonstrated these techniques and therapies can help to resolve pain, improve sleep, digestive function, organ function, circulation and many chronic and acute ailments. At Spring of Life Therapy we recognise traditional Chinese medicine as a complementary healing modality that is continually discovering new applications of this ancient wisdom in a modern world.
