Workplace Wellness
Healthier people, healthier business.
Workplace wellness programmes lead to greater productivity, fewer days lost to illness and a more inspired working culture. 81% of large companies now offer some type of wellness programme (2020 Employer Health Benefit Survey by Kaiser Family Foundation.)
Many such initiatives involve flexible working, increased focus on work/life balance and stress reduction techniques. Acupuncture takes a different approach and targets the source of stress at the biological level.
Acupuncture rewires your brain
for happiness
Research shows that acupuncture changes the way your brain works. A recent study showed that while placebo acupuncture led to a short term spike in endorphins (the feel good chemicals in your brain), real acupuncture actually changed the way brain cells functioned in the long term, making them more receptive to the endorphins.
The World Health Organisation supports the use of acupuncture for a wide range conditions including:
Migraine
Stress
Depression
Insomnia
Anxiety
Back pain
Irregular or painful periods
High blood pressure
Eczema
Chronic fatigue
