What is acupuncture?
Acupuncture is an ancient Chinese medicine-based approach to treating a variety of conditions by triggering specific points on the skin with needles. It is a minimally invasive method to stimulate nerve-rich areas of the skin surface in order to influence tissues, glands, organs, and various functions of the body.
Motion Acupuncture
Motion Acupuncture (MA) is a form of acupuncture where the patient engages in controlled or passive movement during acupuncture sessions. Study outcomes indicate higher success rates than steroid injections in pain reduction and improved motion (Shin, 2011).
MA works by mainly releasing the subcutaneous fascia by needling; the key point of this therapy is to carry out motions of the body with the needles’ retention; and the key technologies are the muscle flexion and extension, stretching and resistance. MA has shown a good efficacy for pain caused by soft tissue injury and relevant visceral disorders. The main mechanism of MA is through the treatment of target points to release the relevant fascial chains, and through the fascial chain transmission to restore the balance of body structures (Chen, 2016).
How it works
Traditional Chinese medicine explains that health is the result of a harmonious balance of the complementary extremes of “yin” and “yang” of the life force known as “qi,” pronounced “chi.” Illness is said to be the consequence of an imbalance of these forces.
Qi is said to flow through meridians, or pathways, in the human body. These meridians and energy flows are accessible through 350 acupuncture points in the body.
By inserting and manipulating fine needles into specific points, energy flow will be re-balanced. This allows the body’s natural healing mechanism to take over and is said to bring the energy flow back into proper balance.

See what our patients say about us
I had sciatica and was sorted after few weekly treatments . I
I also suffer with a chronic back shoulder and neck pain for many months which is now so much better following the MOTION acupuncture ( by Dr Eve) and massage sessions ( by David) . Dr Eve is so helpful with what to do at home in between sessions. I recommend any of the therepies for whatever your need is, the team here at Eden Herbs are supportive and helpful
My migraine headaches have disappeared, and my energy levels are much improved. At my last session, Dr Eve untrapped my neck which had been causing me severe discomfort.
I now go every week and it's guaranteed that I leave Eden Herbs feeling nourished and relaxed. Dr is highly passionate, dedicated and knowledgeable, and I could not recommend her more.
I can feel the benefits continue throughout the week & feel myself calmer, grounded & relaxed in general.
They give me tips & tricks of how to treat myself at home in-between sessions which I really enjoy & I have enjoyed researching traditional Chinese medicine.
They are experts at what they do, if you are thinking about trying alternative medicines, this is your sign to do it!
Thank you Eden Herbs & I look forward to continuing my journey with you.

My elderly aunty started going to her in 2018 and she feels better after every massage. It is as though Dr.Eve can 'see' the pain and targets those areas specifically. Unfortunately due to Covid she was unable to leave the house and she went back to Dr.Eve after about two years. The most amazing thing (apart from the massage itself!) was the fact that Eden Herbs still had our record on file and as we had paid in advance for the massages we were told that we still had one left! We truly appreciated their honesty as we had misplaced the card.
Dr.Eve is incredibly caring and thoughtful and she treats all her patients with respect and kindness. Irene and David are equally polite and respectful (e.g. helping my aunty up from her chair when she has been unable to stand up with ease or getting her a footstool to access the massage bed.)
We have been very lucky to find their clinic! On the days when my aunty is unwell and unable to attend her appointments, she really misses them and looks forward to her next session. Dr.Eve is always understanding and accommodating - always rearranging with a lot of empathy and kindness, even at short notice!
Thank you for all your hard work and kindness!
We look forward to seeing you again soon!
I have trust and patience in her treatments and recommendations. I will definitely be listening to her advice and treatment for when I enter the menopause years! I highly recommend her and all the team who I have received treatment from. Thank you Eden Herbs.
