Migraine headache and stress

I had a few sessions of acupuncture a few years ago because of migraine and this was very helpful. Last year I started again to suffer from repeated strong headaches and migraines and decided to try acupuncture again. I booked a session with Alex at the “Well Being Centre” in Liverpool across the road from where I have been working, not knowing what to expect.

The treatment Alex provided over a few months has helped me to re-create the balance and inner peace that I had lost because of stress.

He offers a very calm, comfortable, relaxing and professional environment. He has a very attentive ear and is a very skilled therapist. He shows a lot of commitment and passion for what he is doing.

It is more than an acupuncture session as general advice was also given on how to keep a good balance in my busy life.

I have definitely been very impressed and highly recommend Alex.

Thank you Alex.

Massage for scoliosis back/neck pain

Having scoliosis it was a tall order finding a suitably qualified massage therapist. (Trust me, I've tried a few!) In Alex I have found a knowledgeable and inspiring therapist who was able not only to improve my back condition but provide an advice on other treatments. Thank you, Alex!

Acid reflux, Stomach pain, Toothache

I take medication for acid reflux and after a Chinese meal earlier this year, I experienced a severe reaction - my stomach went into overdrive producing acid and I was in a lot of discomfort. During this time I had frustrating and fruitless consultations with my GP and a hospital doctor, so then I turned to acupuncture. Alex has been my lifeline by restoring my health and getting my body back in balance, after several sessions. I am so grateful.

I recommend Alex wholeheartedly to anyone seeking an acupuncturist.

(During the course of treatment for my stomach, he even relieved my agonising toothache- long enough to get dental treatment 24 hours later).

Anxiety, Headaches, Pain

I originally went to see Alex at Re-creation for a deep tissue massage after searching through numerous websites.  I found Alex’s techniques/combination of skills impressed me the most.  I proceeded to have an informal chat with Alex about the constant discomfort I had been experiencing for many months which presented itself in the form of daily tension/muscle contraction headaches with associated arm strain. Alex listened attentively as I explained how the constant discomfort caused by these persistent headaches depleted my energy levels, interrupted by sleep and dramatically lowered my mood which in turn caused a considerable amount of anxiety and stress. I was struggling at work as the dull ache/weakness experienced in both my arms made computer usage difficult.  I also started to experience a number of stress related physical and emotional symptoms such as jaw/facial tension, restlessness, a constant lump/tightness in my throat, tingling sensations in my legs and frequent stomach upsets all of which were further fuelling the anxiety cycle .

Alex suggested that I try some acupuncture and combined this with various techniques to treat the numerous symptoms I’d been experiencing these included; physical manipulation to ease the strain and tension in my shoulder/neck muscles and massage therapy. Alex also showed me some valuable relaxation/breathing techniques to aid in combating stress.

I’ve now been having treatments with Alex for months and can honestly say I feel like a different person, my headaches are much less severe with decreased longevity, my stress levels have lowered dramatically, the stress related symptoms disappeared after just a couple of treatments and my overall health and resilience has greatly improved.  I haven’t touched a single painkiller for months. 

I would highly recommend Alex and have already done so to friends/colleagues as I believe he is a talented professional with a kind and caring manner not to mention his varied skills and the confidence he demonstrates in his field; I therefore fully intend to continue with further treatments in the future. 

Much appreciated Alex…
