What Kind of Acupuncture does Stephen Practice?
Stephen is an ICOM trained practitioner, therefore he practices Classical acupuncture.

Treating conditions this way helps to eradicate any underlying conditions as well as the symptoms in order to minimise re-occurrence.

Stephen West BSc.Lic.Ac.MAcSAc
Stephen was lead to the study of acupuncture through his love of the martial arts, a journey he began at the age of seven. In his early teens he began delving deeper into his martial arts practices by studying martial philosophy, which led him to the study of Chinese philosophy and later, Chinese medicine. Stephen became a martial arts instructor at the age of 19 and ran two successful classes in the South London areas until the end of his acupuncture studies in 2004. He then traveled extensively throughout Asia for a year to further his knowledge of the martial arts and acupuncture.
