BONE SETTING
Rooted in the ancient principles of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), chinese bone setting treatment (正骨 / 'zheng gu') has been used for centuries to address joint and muscle conditions. This natural and non-invasive therapy utilises specialised techniques to correct misalignments, remove any blockages or obstructions in the joints, and further enhance the body's mobility.
Benefits of Bone Setting
Pain Relief:
Due to its ability to manipulate bones and joints, promoting the body’s natural healing process; traditional bone setting treatment can provide significant relief for those suffering from joint and muscle injuries, as well as chronic conditions such as arthritis and back pain.
This manual therapy aims to restore the alignment and movement of the bone or joint that has been traumatised, resulting in pain to the individual. Through the treatment, it will help to reduce inflammation, swelling, and stiffness which aids in the body’s healing process further.
Improvement in Mobility and Flexibility:
As bone setting treatment often involves the use of various manual techniques to stretch and strengthen body muscles and soft tissues, it helps to realign the musculoskeletal system and improve flexibility by increasing the elasticity and length of muscles, tendons, ligaments, allowing for greater freedom of movement.
