Migraines and headaches
Sue W
I would highly recommend visiting Andrew. I have been very impressed with his approach to tackling the repeated retinal migraines I was experiencing. The treatment - a tailored combination of acupuncture and massage - not only addressed this, but also saw me experience some improvement in a chronic auto-immune disease I have lived with for fifteen years. I wouldn’t hesitate to return. Thank you, Andrew

After many years of migraine misery - often daily migraines, visits to the GP, different prescription drug combinations and different types of alternative therapies I tried Andrew’s Chinese Acupuncture. Still wary of it being a too good to be true after so long, it has now been 5 weeks since I last had a migraine - something unprecedented for many years.
I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Andrew. He is patient and understanding, would much rather complete a treatment than watch the clock and you can feel he is genuinely interested in getting you well.

I first sought Andrews help when I suffered a cluster of migraines around a month ago. I had 5 migraines in 5 days, I felt absolutely rubbish with the migraine hangover.
I decided to call Andrew to see if he could help. Best thing I ever did. Andrew started treatment and began placing acupuncture needles where he thought would benefit me and they did . Whilst in that first session the headache went and to date I haven't had a migraine! Fantastic.
I have carried on with acupuncture for my stress levels and Andrew also carries out deep tissue massage on me which helps enormously.
I can without reservation recommend Andrew to anyone with any ailment or just feeling low.
Irritable bowel syndrome and pain
A. H.
I decided to try acupuncture after long-standing pain and the hospital having difficulty diagnosing me. I did not want to take pain killers any more as I was on a high level.
I have found the acupuncture has helped with my pain and now have days where I no longer require pain killers. It has given me functionality back and improved my overall quality of life.
I would recommend this to anyone suffering with pain and fatigue
Jackie A.
Andrew is incredible. Very thorough, enquires about all symptoms, a complete MOT on my disc problems as well as digestive issues. He recognised that more than 1 thing is going on and asked many questions which uncovered these problems.
Using massage as well as acupuncture really relieves my symptoms- more so than any conventional treatment.
I would recommend having a chat with Andrew so that he can work his magic on you too.
You can't put a cost on removing pain and numbness so painlessly.
Sciatica and Back problems
Nicola R.
Amazing, professional service!! After a mild bout of sciatica, Andrew advised I tried acupuncture, cupping and massage and tailored the treatments to my needs.
I attended two sessions and the treatment worked amazingly. I would highly recommend it for anyone suffering with pain and also for general health and well being!!!

I started having acupuncture in April due to back problems, after two operations I was left with a lot of pain and unable to walk more than 200 to 300 yards without having to stop. I initially had one treatment per week for four weeks, now i have one treatment every four to five weeks.The results for me are amazing, I no longer need pain relief, and more importantly I can walk and carry on with my daily routine. Since starting acupuncture I have lost over a stone in weight simply due to be able to move around. My quality of life has improved 100%. I would say to anyone give it a try.
Mike T., June 2014
"I have had five surgical procedures on my lower spine which helped but were not completely successful leaving me with 'failed back surgery syndrome' exacerbated by 'sacroiliac joint dysfunction'. I now have difficulty walking due to symptoms of sciatica in my leg and pain in my buttock. I had multiple acupuncture sessions with Andrew for a period of over two months and each and every session brought me pain relief which generally was complete removal of pain for up to three days and a gradual return over the next few days to the level of pain I had before treatment. After treatment my ability to move around was significantly improved, as was my general well-being.
The NHS was unable to offer me any drugs that could compete with the acupuncture and I stopped taking my pain medication after meeting Andrew. The NHS Pain Clinic recently administered a deep steroid injection which has had a beneficial effect and I am not seeing Andrew at present; however, the NHS expects my symptoms to return and I will be happy to ask Andrew for more treatment."

I would highly recommend Andrew who has helped and continues to help with my long term back problems. Each appointment starts with discussing any changes then treatment is tailored accordingly. Andrew is professional, friendly and clearly very knowledgeable and I leave after each treatment feeling much better and looking forward to the next.
Jon M.
I went to Andy with acute back pain. After the first session I felt significantly better and over the course of a few weeks my back improved dramatically. Andy is knowledgeable across a number of techniques (he suggested acupuncture and cupping for me) and took an empathetic and holistic approach to my issues. Would highly recommend!
Jonna N.
I've had really bad problems with my shoulders for years (from a combination of an old sports injury and spending my days working in front of a computer), and Andrew's combination of different forms of traditional Chinese medicine have made a huge difference: I'm now largely pain free! I originally went for a massage but he recommended also trying acupuncture and a few other things and it has really done the job.
Back, neck and shoulder massage
Rui C.
Andrew is great! He delivers a professional and adequate service to your own needs. Been struggling with pain for several years and with Andrew was the first time I was able to relax and feel some improvements! Highly recommended!
Neil M.
Really helped with my muscle pain in my leg. Very knowledgeable and price wise I think his treatment including massage and accupunture is a bargain.
Paul B.
I found acupuncture with Andrew very effective for a long term neck problem. It's very good that he also combines acupuncture with massage. He is friendly and professional.
Kay E.
Amazing and very pleasurable. My back and shoulders felt so much better. I'm definitely booking again.
Karen S.
Had the best massage. You can really feel the warmth from Andrews hands going deep into your back. Great feeling. :) Need another one soon
Jack P.
Helped at short notice to treat a spasm I had in my back just before I went on holiday. I was amazed at the difference the acupuncture made. Highly recommended
Alex J.
Andrew knows his stuff! He has a good feel for how much pressure to use and was very helpful in alleviating my pain.
Erica H.
Recommend Andrew for excellent analysis and deep tissue massage - worked a treat on my tired muscles.
Shirley J., Nov 15
"After paying Andrew weekly visits for the last 2 months ... and plenty of tolerance, skill and patience ... there is improvement in all areas of my health and physical problems. Thank you Andrew for your expertise in acupuncture, massage and general well being. I am beginning to feel like a new person and would highly recommend a visit".
Wendy M.
Andrew has a great deal of knowledge and skill. The acupuncture has helped me with a range of physical symptoms and he tailors the treatment to whatever I need every time. The massage is also really good, and again is always tailored to what I need. Andrew is a true healer.
Fibromyalgia
Andrea P.
I have fibromyalgia and have struggled with pain on a daily basis for over 5 years. However after seeing Andrew over a period of 8 weeks I have noticed a significant difference. The pain in my right leg and lower back has significantly reduced. This has allowed me to return back to physical activity, something I have not been able to do for many years. So grateful for getting my life back".
Rachel P.
When I first went to Andrew I had a range of specific symptoms (joint and muscle pain and stiffness arising from an old injury, osteoarthritis and multiple symptoms of fibromyalgia) that I hoped acupuncture could improve. However, as well as improving all of these, I wasn't expecting to feel energised, to sleep better or to feel 'balanced' which his unique blend of massage and acupuncture have achieved. As a therapist, Andrew instantly impressed me his professionalism, genuine concern and ability to make me feel relaxed and in safe hands, from the outset. He is continually expanding his skills and knowledge and to find the best blend of individually tailored treatments; his approach is the complete opposite of 'one-size-fits-all'.
Gabrielle P.
Andrew is a wonderfully skilled practitioner who is both caring and empathetic. His knowledge, expertise and passion for acupuncture and deep tissue massage is inspiring. After actively listening, he formulated a treatment plan for my fibromyalgia and TMJ, which resulted in such amazing relief. My daughter and son have also benefited for seeing him. As a family we could not recommend Andrew highly enough and feel very fortunate to be able to access such excellent treatment nearby.
Julie D.
After a Google search I found Andrew and I am so pleased I did. He is helping me with chronic fatigue syndrome, pain, migraines and generally feeling ill. He is extremely professional and friendly. Using deep massage and acupuncture, he has made a huge difference to my health. I look forward to my treatments with him.
Insomnia
Marguerite H.
"After having received recent acupuncture from yourself for general wellbeing I thought I might drop you a line of thanks. The treatment has helped to reduce my eye strain and more importantly has had an impact on my sleep apnoea. I now feel in control of my situation whereas before I was struggling to understand it.
I can highly recommend this type of treatment with Andrew, who has really taken the time to understand my initial frustration and was able to put me at ease not only with the treatment but with myself as well.
To say Andrew goes the extra mile would be an understatement as he goes way beyond this and has shown a real interest in my case. Thanks once again.
General wellbeing
Dawn J.
Andy listens first then explains the treatment he thinks would be best for my condition, ensuring I know what will be happening and am happy with it before he starts. He is responsive to any changes and varies treatment accordingly, using both acupuncture and massage. He is professional yet friendly, he has a deep understanding of what he does and is passionate about using his skills to help people. I always feel better after treatment and have regular appointments to help maintain good physical and mental health. Highly recommended!
Angela G.
Andrew is fantastic! He’s very helpful and listens to what’s going on with me each visit and adjusts his acupuncture each time I go to tailor to what’s more pressing for me each time. I’ve recommended him to several friends!
Vertigo
Mandy S.
I was treated by Andy for vertigo (acupuncture) and back/neck muscular problems (Chinese massage) in 2011-13.
I tried the acupuncture out of desperation having found that tablets from my Doctor and treatment by a Chiropractor failed to improve the condition for more than a few days/weeks at a time. I didn’t understand how acupuncture could help and was quite sceptical. Andy explained the treatment really well, it was quick and not painful. After one treatment the vertigo cleared up within a day. This was great but still I wondered if this was just a co-incidence. Several months later I had a further attack and went back for further acupuncture….again following the treatment it cleared up with a couple of days and thankfully has not returned. Not a sceptic anymore!
I have also received massage treatment from Andy which was very beneficial and seemed to have a better effect on deep muscles tissue that traditional massage.
Thanks Andy for effective, professional treatment!
Eczema and allergies
Todd B.
I made contact with Andrew to see if his Acupuncture treatment would help my allergies and eczema. I booked five sessions with Andrew, and it's one of the best things I've ever done. Not only did Andrew provide me with suitable nutritional advice, his recommendations helped my allergies too. By the end of the fifth session, my eczema was finally under control and so were my allergies.
