Pain

The Acupuncture Pain Clinic is an excellent resource for those suffering from chronic pain. Over a three year period I have attended a variety of orthodox and complimentary practitioners in an attempt to reduce my back pain. The Acupuncture Pain Clinic has provided the only treatment that has improved my condition.

When I first attended the clinic I was in considerable pain and unable to sleep at night because of the discomfort. I can now sleep at night and I am considerably improved. Andrew is a dedicated and compassionate practitioner whose treatment has made a signifiacnt difference to my quality of life.

I had been suffering for several years with a bad shoulder (due to my manual job). I consulted my GP and had several sessions of physiotherapy but this didn’t seem to help. I decided to try something different and thought that shiatsu maybe the answer.
On my first visit to Markus I explained my symptoms, he then began to work on my back and shoulders. After a few moments Markus was able to feel how tight and painful my shoulder was. I underwent a 6 week course of treatment and by the end of it I felt like a completely different person. He was able to resolve my problem, which is something my doctor and physiotherapist couldn’t do, and better still it only took 6 weeks.
My shoulder pain has not returned, however I still see Markus on a regular basis as a form of prevention rather than cure. He is able to feel if there is anything slightly wrong and correct it before it becomes an issue.
I have recommended him to my family and friends, some of whom have also benefitted from Markus’ expertise.
If you have any health issues then a call to Markus could be the best thing you have done for a long time – it could change your quality of life and health forever.

I had been suffering for several years with a very painful hip and found it difficult to walk (especially up stairs). I had consulted my GP who advised that I may need a hip replacement; this was a very scary prospect. I had been speaking to my son about this and he suggested that I try a course of Shiatsu with Markus (my son was a regular client). I was very sceptical but thought it was worth a try.
On my first visit Markus asked me to describe my symptoms, he then started to work on my legs, ankles and hips to see if he could find the problem. He noticed that something was wrong with my ankle, and asked if I had ever injured my ankle. I said I had fallen off a horse in my teens (around 35 yrs ago), he said that the injury to my ankle was the cause of my pain and discomfort. Markus explained that my body had tried to compensate for the injury to my ankle and in turn had caused an issue with my hip.
Markus suggested a 6 week course of treatment, and after just 1 session I could already feel an improvement. By the end of the 6 weeks I could walk normally and even go up and down stairs without any problems.
I was originally looking at a hip replacement operation, but after 6 weeks with Markus and no need for drugs or surgery I felt like a new woman.
I would recommend to anyone that is thinking of alternative therapy to contact Markus and give it a go, it has definitely changed my life for the better.

I first met Markus Grasser when he offered me shiatsu for a wrist injury I had suffered using power tools. I had been prescribed anti-inflammatorys and painkillers from a doctor and was told to expect to wait 3 to 4 weeks for it to recover.
I was more than happily surprised when 2 days after the treatment by Markus, I had the full use of my wrist again and was pain free.
A while later I asked him for a consultation about the hair loss problem I’d had for 20 years, alopaecia areata. I had lost I’d say 70% of my scalp hair.
We discussed lifestyle and diet, and changes were recommended as well as a series of Chinese herbs.
Markus explained the course of treatment prescribed to me in some depth, and assisted me in identifying and transforming the ways in which I was literally exhausting my system.
I undertook to take the herbs twice a day, and adopt a wiser dietary regime, and vigorous scalp massage, and I received shiatsu from a student of Markus.
What I can say today, is that after a year or so of taking the herbs etc. my hair coverage on my scalp is probably 80%.
I’ve learned to listen to my body’s needs more and take far better care of my health.
I’ve slowed my pace down, I don’t experience the constant pressure of rushing constantly that I used to experience. I still get the same amount done, but without exhausting myself in the process. I think the course of treatment inspired me and assisted me in being willing to take responsibility for nourishing myself as best I can.
I’m deeply grateful to Markus, I found it easy to be open and honest with him, I felt cared for and encouraged by him along the way, and I would recommend him to anyone who wanted to make some healthy changes in their lives with the support of a man dedicated to uplifting the quality of people's lives.
