About Us


Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) has its roots in ancient China. Back then there was no concept of hormones and neurotransmitters, cells and enzymes etc, so they used the concepts that were well understood in those times. They looked to their environment and saw the way that the seasons, the wind, the rain and the heat had on people and their health. The terms they used to describe illness were wind, cold, damp, heat, dryness and summer-heat. Chinese medicine continued to evolve over the centuries to find ways to treat the latest "epidemic" diseases, as well as continuing to treat mild and common diseases and chronic illness. But the language used to describe the body in health and in illness has stayed the same throughout.

Modern treatments include acupuncture, cupping, food therapy, gua sha, herbal medicine and moxibustion. Qi Gong and Tai Chi are also considered as treatment modalities within the scope of Chinese Medicine.

Utopia Health Care provides Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) treatments including Acupuncture for general ailments and specialising in Acupuncture for Pre & Post Pregnancy and treatment for Children’s Allergies. Other specialise treatments include Shiatsu Massage treatments, Remedial Sports Massage treatments and much more.

SHIATSU MASSAGE THERAPY

The word comes from the Japanese word 'Shi' meaning finger and 'atsu' meaning pressure, and is a branch of Oriental medicine. Application stimulates the energy flow of meridians and works on the principles of Chi or Qi also know as Prana or simply energy.

The treatment is most often experienced as deeply relaxing; the clients wear loose, comfortable clothes and lies on a futon (mat) on the floor. The practitioner uses direct pressure with hands and fingers and sometimes with elbows and knees on the client's body. Shiatsu works by stimulating the circulation of Blood and Qi to reactivate the body's natural flow and to reduce or eliminate the restrictions (stagnation) which may impede circulation and give rise to muscular tension, stress, illness, injury and pain. Shiatsu also has the ability to reinforce those areas of the body left deficient or undernourished by blood or Qi. Beneficial effects through all the body's circulatory systems (blood, nervous, lymphatic & respiratory) are enhanced by this simple form of Japanese massage.

Some common things that Shiatsu addresses:
  • Aches, pains, tension headaches & migraines.
  • Physical & emotional trauma.
  • Sleeping problems, lack of stamina.
  • Poor concentration, fatigue.
  • Painful muscles and joints.
  • Menstrual disorders.
  • Digestive and bowel irregularities.
  • Hayfever, asthma, skin conditions and constant colds.
  • Sport injury.
  • Weight loss, cellulite.
  • Low libido.
  • PLUS MUCH MORE...

CHINESE HERBAL MEDICINE


Chinese Herbal medicine comes in many forms and traditionally involved boiling a pot of herbs on the stove to prepare a decoction. The preparation of decoction is often quite time consuming but provides excellent therapeutic benefit. Herbal pills and granulated extracts are more convenient modern alternatives to decoction that provide results that are comparable to herbal decoction.

A small proportion of Chinese herbal preparations contain mineral and animal constituents, however no endangered species are ever prescribed at our clinic. Special dietary requirements such as gluten-free and vegan are easily accommodated - discuss with your practitioner alternatives that are available to you.
