"There once was the wise Doctor Wu
Who listened, then knew what to do.
She placed needles and cups so
The chi it could flow,
And her patients then thanked her anew."
"(An original limerick by the reviewer, M-T Pinder, copyright 2020)."
"My initial session with Dr Wu consisted of a thorough examination, from top to toe, including my tongue, hands and pulses. She noted my ailments, some long-standing including a fungal sinus condition and digestive problems as well as more recently acquired arthritis and water retention.
I felt she listened carefully to what I had told her as displayed by the questions she asked me, and I had confidence in accepting her recommendation of acupuncture and cupping treatment for my elderly body.
Before lockdown brought the appointments to an abrupt stop, I had a number of appointments. It took a couple of treatments for me to become accustomed to the techniques, initially somewhat alarming, inevitably involving some discomfort.
However, I adjusted to the treatment and Dr Wu's continuing diagnostic skills, and I feel the treatments have been beneficial to my system. Some improvement was immediately experienced and over a longer period there was an increased sense of overall well-being.
Unfortunately, there have been no treatments possible since March, due to lockdown rules. I have missed the benefits of continuing sessions, and look forward to resuming them as soon as circumstances allow."
