Badlittlepup Posted March 23, 2011 Share Posted March 23, 2011 I think all alternative therapies get a lot of stick, people are very skeptical about them. I have to say when I first started training in acupuncture I didnt believe a word the tutors said and thought chinese medicine theories were a load of rubbish...but after using the principles in practice and treating patients based on these theories, I have to say that it is amazing what results can be achieved. You have to be careful looking at clinical studies as many are very very poor quality. Acupuncture researchers are trying to improve the quality of studies so more realistic results can be seen. Great to hear everyones views though! I think alternative therapies are going to grow and grow in the medical sector. The studies I am talking about are conducted mainly by universities independently, acupuncture is also promoted by the NHS in this field. It really has been found to get results. I researched in some depth before I chose what to go for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It really has been found to get results. I researched in some depth before I chose what to go for. I've got to agree with this. There are lots of holistic medicines which, when used in conjunction with traditional medical practices, can have positive results. If it works for you, don't mock it!

Mecky Posted March 23, 2011 Share Posted March 23, 2011 I'm pretty open minded but haven't really tried anything. Used to do a lot of Tai Chi though as it used to help my golf (balancing) and I dabbled a bit with Baoding balls. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whitehorses Posted March 24, 2011 Share Posted March 24, 2011 I'm fully trained in reflexology and that has achieved some really good results, it's very relaxing as well which is good for the body and mind as a whole. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
