Hi, my name is Gary Hussey, I am the Acupuncturist at the Bournemouth Clinic for osteopathy and Acupuncture. Im a 46 year old father of 3 children under 10 so my free time is spent with my family having as much fun as possible! I studied Acupuncture at the International College of Oriental Medicine graduating in 1998, although I have 20 years experience treating patients I will always be a student of Acupuncture and the pulse, when you think you know the subject, another layer of depth and complexity opens up.

So you have had your first acupuncture session, you probably have many questions like: How come he uses so few needles? He didn't seem to do very much, how can this help my symptoms? Why weren't the needles anywhere near the problem? Or maybe what the hell just happened? This leaflet explains the basics and outlines the philosophy in bite size pieces.
Traditional Acupuncture is a healthcare system based on ancient principles which go back nearly two thousand years. It is a positive model of good health and function and looks at pain and illness as signs that the body is out of balance. The overall aim of acupuncture treatment, is to restore the body's equilibrium.
Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches, or as its also known in Chinese 'Wu Lun Liu Qi' (which translates as The Five movements and Six Energies) was traditionally taught as an oral tradition. It was considered too rich and complex to be written down, learning occurred experiencially with the help of a teacher.
The concept of Qi is central to Chinese Medicine, to understand Qi is to understand how Acupuncture works. It is commonly translated as 'life force' or even 'breath'. Everything that exists is made of Qi, condensed it is matter, diffused it is energy. It is that which animates the physical body, Qi gives life to the physical body, without it there is death.
The meridian system is an unbroken series of pathways and channels in the human body. They contain electro magnetic energy (Qi) which nourish and energise the body. Most of the acupuncture points are located on the meridian system, there are approximately three hundred and sixty points located on twelve meridians which correspond with the days and the months of the year.
