25.01.2022 Welcome to the team Dimple. Today I would like to introduce you to Dimple, our Remedial Massage Therapist who practices from the clinic on Wednesday and Thursday currently. Dimple worked as a Paediatric Nurse in the UK and built a rewarding and fulfilling carer caring for the medical and emotional needs of her patients. Following her move to Australia ten years ago, she studied remedial massage therapy and has been fortunate to work alongside experienced allied health profe...ssionals before opening her own clinic known as Nurtured Therapies by dimple. For more information about Dimple and the services she offers please visit her website at https://nurturedtherapiesbydimple.com.au/. #massage #remedialmassage #babymassage #pregnancymassage #alliedhealth #healthteam

25.01.2022 Here at Equilibrium Acupuncture we love to help people with their health journey. Based within Zing Massage Therapy Cleveland we offer a compassionate, kind, caring and comfortable space for your holistic treatment. While most new clients come to us for traditional acupuncture treatments, we also offer a wide range of treatments:... * Traditional acupuncture Stimulates the bodys own healing mechanisms by inserting fine, sterile needles in key acupuncture points. * Gua Sha Is the scraping of your skin in a downward motion with short or long strokes using a smooth-edged instrument with the assistance of oil. * Moxibustion Is a form of heat therapy where "Moxa" is burned on or very near the surface of the skin at acupuncture points. * Cupping The use of glass cups, that are rounded and open at one end, as suction devices that are placed on the skin. To find out more about how acupuncture could benefit you, or to make a booking at our Cleveland acupuncture clinic, call us on now on 0408497513, book online (https://www.equilibriumacupuncture.com.au/online-booking) or email us today to get the conversation started.

23.01.2022 And we have the keys for the new clinic. Time to start setting up and I look forward to seeing everyone in the new clinic soon #cleveland #acupuncture #alliedhealth #newclinic #newbeginning #health

23.01.2022 The best way for you to support any business is to share your success with your family and friends. Thank you for everyone who has referred to my clinic, it means the world to my small business. #sharethelove #refer #thankyou #acupuncture #pain #womenshealth #care #alliedhealth

23.01.2022 We now have lovely feature walls in both of our clinic rooms thanks to HLC Handyman Services. Thank you Craig the rooms look amazing. Looking forward to hanging the pictures on the wall and putting the finishing touches to this space in the coming few weeks. #painting #relaxing #whatadifference #acupuncture #restful

22.01.2022 This is something that I have been telling myself every day this week. I've taken some much needed R&R and didn't realise how hard it can be to turn the busy switch off . I've found that I'm talking to myself about the benefits of resting and telling myself the washing can wait, the floor can wait and so can the paperwork for Tax and my continuing professional development. I'm actually quite pleased with myself as I managed to sit down for a whole 45 minutes to watch a s...how without feeling like I needed to get up and do stuff. I even managed an afternoon nap . In Winter activites should align with the season so it is a time to slow down and feed ourselves physically and mentally. How are you planning to look after yourself this winter? #RandR #acupuncture #chinesemedicine #winter #resting #sleeping #slowdown #physicalandmentalhealth #selfcare #healing #bekindtoyourself

21.01.2022 "Acupuncture compared to sham/placebo and pharmacotherapy showed statistically significant results. However, the evidence is limited by bias in the included studies and heterogeneity. Well-designed studies are needed to confirm the results identified in this review." https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/27261976/ #acupuncture #sleep #sweetdreams #selfcare

20.01.2022 It has been a hard year for many families. If this year has taught us anything it has taught us the importance of supporting each other, our local community and our local businesses. Here in our beautiful clinic we are all about supporting each other. If you know of a local business that needs some support please tag them below so that we can show them some love. ... With Christmas arriving quickly this is a great opportunity for us to spend our money locally. #supportlocal #acupuncture #naturopath #massage #gifts #christmas #buylocal #spendlocal

20.01.2022 Did you know that Jenny does EFT? Want to take advantage of the special deal she has or learn more about what it is and how it could help? Contact Jenny to find out more. #EFT #acupuncture #healing #emotions

20.01.2022 Thank you Acupuncture Now Australia for this wonderful research. Acupuncture rocks for pain.

20.01.2022 Winter is the most Yin time in Chinese Medicine. it is dark, cold, slow, inward energy. Ideally this means our activities in winter should represent the season meaning that we need to slow down and feed ourselves both physically and mentally. We should be looking at going to bed earlier and sleeping later and eating foods that are naturally available during this season such as potatoes, root vegetables, mushrooms and apples with longer and slower cooking methods to help ...infuse heath within our food. Are you taking advantage of the chance to slow down a little bit or do you find yourself energised during winter? Personally I would be happy to hibernate like a bear and avoid the cold at all costs. #winter #acupuncture #chinesemedicine #slowdown #longslowcooking #livewiththeseason #cold #blankets

19.01.2022 Do you or someone you know have sensitive skin? Have a birthday coming up or getting started on the Christmas shopping? We stock soaps that are free of parabens, gluten, soy, SLS, SLES are hypo-allergenic, non-comedogenic, biodegradable and suitable for vegan. And the good news is we have a kids range in some lovely styles and will have our Christmas themed ones available in a few weeks. At $6 each they make the perfect gift.... #soapstodifor #veganfriendly #nonasties #bathtimefun #children #smellsdelicious

19.01.2022 I have been thinking about the importance of taking the time to slow down and have patience and trust. Today I have had a few people who rescheduled leaving me with a few hours free that I could fill up with other clients and paperwork but instead today I just decided to stop and lock the door . With sickness effecting myself or the children these last few weeks and time seemingly rushing past me always filled with busy work and the next box to check off the to do list I fi...nally realised that all I need is some TIME. Time to slow down and reboot and enjoy the small things again. How do you slow down? Is this something that you find hard to do, or guilty to do? #time #slow #regroup #refocus #reboot #acupuncture #downtime #relax #enjoythesmallthings

18.01.2022 We will be operating through the 3 day lockdown as usual. Please be sure to wear your mask to your appointment. Also I am asking that there is only one person at each appointment and to please only enter the clinic if the reception area is clear of other people. Thank you and I look forward to seeing you all for your appointments.

18.01.2022 A systematic review in 2020 (which included 10 randomised controlled trials and 728 participants), while conceding that there were issues with the quality of some studies, reached the following conclusions: For both symptom relief and functional improvement, manual acupuncture is superior to ibuprofen and prednisolone. Electroacupuncture plus splinting outperforms splinting alone for improvement in functional status. Limited evidence showed electroacupuncture's potential role in pain reduction. #acupuncture #carpaltunnel #electroacupuncture #painreduction #functionalimprovement #symptomrelief

18.01.2022 This Zen Proverb says it all. It is important for our digestion to sit and enjoy our meal and allow the digestive organs to successfully function. The next time you eat on the run or at the office desk think about this and give your digestion a fighting chance as it plays a very important role in your wellbeing. #digestion #acupuncture #walk #eat #enjoyyourmeal #sitandeat #nodistractions #foodforthought

18.01.2022 It is with great excitement that I announce I have found a temporary room for Equilibrium Acupuncture to practice from for the next few months why I start looking for a permanent space within the Redlands. I am so happy that I can continue to support the health of my clients during this difficult time and please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any questions or problems. I will be starting on Wednesday 29th April and appointments are now available for booking so ple...ase either contact me or go to the website and book online (https://www.equilibriumacupuncture.com.au/online-booking). I will be available on Monday, Wednesday and Saturday from now on, and I am still happy to do Telehealth Consults for those that are not comfortable in coming into the clinic during this time. The clinic will be running out of Zing Massage at 1/69-71 Shore Street West, Cleveland. Thank you all for your continued support and patience during these unprecedented times and I look forward to seeing you all soon. Amber

17.01.2022 While it seems that we are on top of the COVID-19 situation with a lot of businesses reopening, to help keep everyone safe we wont be easing the clinic conditions. Please remember -wait outside until the clinic is clear... -one person per appointment unless they are from the same household and a carer -hand sanitise before entry and when leaving I am still asking that if you are sick or have been in contact with someone who is sick then please reschedule your appointment. I am continuing to maintain strict cleaning within in the clinic to ensure the safety of everyone who comes for a consult. Thank you all for your understanding. Amber

17.01.2022 Just got my Amazing Oils - Organic Magnesium Products delivered and I'm so excited to try out their Australian made natural face moisturiser. We will also have magnesium sprays and sleep lotion available for purchase to start with and I will be looking into other products as needed. #naturalbeauty #acupuncture #magnesium #gifts #headache #crampingnomore

15.01.2022 After an update of an individual patient data meta-analysis the Journal of Pain has concluded that "Acupuncure is effective for the treatment of chronic musculoskeletal, headache, and osteoarthritis pain. Treatment effects of acupuncture persist over time and cannot be explained solely in terms of placebo effects. Referral for a course of acupuncture treatment is a reasonable option for a patient with chronic pain". https://www.jpain.org/article/S1526-5900(17)30780-0/fulltext #acupuncture #chronicpain #effectivetreatment #musculoskelet #pain #headache #osteoarthritis

15.01.2022 Wonderful article from the UK Telegraph showing support for acupuncture in regards to pain relief. #acupuncture #painrelief #betterthandrugs #changeiscoming #news

15.01.2022 The energy our body needs to function during the day come from the food we eat. But eating is not only about making good food choices, it is way more complex. Eating at similar times every day and at regular intervals ensures that we provide our body with the fuel it needs to perform. By having a structured eating plan you avoid hunger pains and the need to grab a quick fix meal to keep you going. So to help avoid overindulging, bad choices and overeating just eat regularly.... #eatregularly #acupuncture #chinesemedicine #portionsizes #overindulge #fuel #food

14.01.2022 These last couple of months have been sad, enlightening, trying, tiring and exciting. It was sad to loose my room at the Salt Sanctuary thanks to COVID but luckily I was able to find a temporary home at Zing Massage Therapy Cleveland (Thank you Angela). It has been a wild ride and Ive met so many new people and been able to continue to help my clients which is so important to me. I am so happy to be moving forward with a new chapter for my business in August. I will be mo...ving into a new space (date will be confirmed later) and have a wonderful team of other practitioners who will be sharing the space with me. Stay tuned for more information in the coming months. Amber #moving #covid #acupuncture #newspace #newbeginning #woohoo #alliedhealth #cleveland

13.01.2022 A cool and rainy winter's day calls for some home made pumpkin soup. Such a wonderful simple recipe that's great for the digestion and so nourishing. I always keep mine simple using pumpkin, potato, onion, salt and pepper with a little cream. What secret ingredient do you put in your pumpkin soup? #pumpkin #pumpkinsoup #digestion #nourishing #warmanddelicious #acupuncture #tcmdietary #diettherapy #getinmybelly

13.01.2022 Are you stuck in your comfort zone and are afraid to try new things? Do you think Im too busy, Ill think about it tomorrow or after I finish cleaning or when the kids arent around. The magic never happens when you are in your comfort zone!!! Did you know the thing I hear most often as an Acupuncturist is "Ive tried everything else, so I thought why not give it a go." Whatever your reasons I encourage you to look outside of your comfort zone if you arent feeling well an...d ask yourself if acupuncture could help you. Reach out and email or call and have a chat with me to see how I can help. #comfortzone #magic #acupuncture #notthelastresort #wellness #greatthingsawait

08.01.2022 So why I was scrolling through the world wide web I came across this beautiful website called Action for Happiness. On the home page you see that western neuroscience has now confirmed that happiness is a skill that we can learn. "Research shows that happiness, compassion and kindness are the products of skills that can be learned and enhanced through training, thanks to the neuroplasticity of our brains."... To have a look at how you can help create happiness in your life check out their website and have a look at the happiness calendar I have included from them for May. https://www.actionforhappiness.org/ #happiness #skills #createhappy #behappy #findhappiness #acupuncture #dosomethinggoodeachday

07.01.2022 Stress can be a number of different emotions all rolled into one. Commonly it is a way to describe the mix of frustration, anxiety, worry, fear and excessive thinking. Acupuncture is an important tool that can be used to assist you or someone you know with stress. Let acupuncture free up the emotions within your body to help you manage your stress. I am always available to listen if you want to talk this through before making a booking, otherwise just jump over to the websi...te and book directly through our online booking system. https://equilibriumacupuncture.com.au/online-booking/ #acupuncture #emotionalhealth #stress #anxiety #overwhelmed #burntout #slowdown #freeflow #listen #listening #chinesemedicine

05.01.2022 After the announcement this morning and the continued lockdown I wanted to confirm that Equilibrium Acupuncture will continue to trade as usual unless advised otherwise. As we are trying to limit movements within the community I'd ask that if you feel like your condition will not worsen without treatment to consider rescheduling. Also if you have been to any of the exposure sites or have any symptoms please reschedule.... Please sign in using the QR code and using the hand sanitiser at reception on arrival. We are continuing to ensure your safety with strict cleaning schedules and the front door will remain locked between clients to ensure social distancing and limit contact.
