An Integrated Approach

Traditional Chinese Medicine has a long history, and has developed and grown for over 2000 years. It comprises of 5 distinct elements: Acupuncture, Tui Na Massage, Herbalism, Tai Chi / Qi Gong and Nutrition. These were always meant to work together, and the ancient Chinese doctors were masters of all 5 arts. This made them supremely flexible, and gave them the ability to tailor treatment precisely to each individual.

The integrated approach to Chinese medicine as used by Neil Kingham follows that ancient way of working, and so brings all the complementary strands of this ancient medicine to a modern Western population.

Neil believes that using the different strands of Chinese Medicine together in this way allows for a truly holistic treatment, and is far more effective than sticking to just one therapy. As the famous Taoist philosopher Ge Hong said in the 4th century, "In everything pertaining to to nurturing of life one must learn much... look widely and know how to select. There should be no reliance upon only one particular speciality."

You may already know which kind of therapy you would like, maybe because you have had success with it before, or you may not be certain. In either case Neil will be able to discuss with you what will work quickest and most effectively for your particular circumstances and agree a treatment plan that will work for you.

About Chinese Medicine

Traditional Chinese medicine is a holistic health system which takes the view that body and mind are inseparable, and that health and well being rely on harmonious and easy interactions between the mental, physical and emotional aspects of our lives.

This means that Chinese medicine is person-centred, treating the individual as a whole. It is this approach that has made it remarkably effective in so many conditions that respond poorly to Western medicine.

The Chinese method of diagnosis is highly refined, and able to detect the smallest imbalances in health, which makes it ideal for the prevention of disease. Indeed, this is how it was traditionally used, and the role of ancient Chinese doctors was not to cure the sick but to keep people well. This tradition is continued today, and many people get great benefit from consulting their practitioner for regular check-ups to keep them at maximum health.
