Acupuncture is a form of Chinese medicine that involves using tiny needles to stimulate the sensory nerves under the skin (not nearly as scary as it sounds, promise!) to relieve pain, aching muscles and everyday stress.

The treatment itself is performed lying down, and once you’re comfortable, anything from six to twenty needles will be gently inserted then left for around 20 minutes. Most people feel little to no pain as the fine needles are placed; a lot of the time, you'll feel a prick often followed by a tingling feeling. Post treatment, patients report that they feel deeply relaxed and super chill.
