The gift of relaxation...

Acupuncture and massage gift vouchers are now available online for Health Point Clinic. They’re encouraging islanders to treat a friend or loved one to a tailor-made gift voucher for that special occasion that will do them the world of good.

At Health Point Clinic they use a unique integration of traditional acupuncture and a variety of massage techniques from Swedish/deep tissue massage to reflexology and tuina (Chinese Medical massage) to cupping therapy. Their goal is to get you back to doing what you love sooner. If you would like to design a specific gift voucher, please contact the clinic.

WHAT IS ACUPUNCTURE?

Acupuncture is the insertion of ultra-fine, single use sterile needles into specific acupuncture points on the body. This involves between 8 to 30 needles depending upon what is being treated. By inserting fine needles into muscles and connective tissue, this frees up the normal flow of blood, energy, and nutrients by releasing myofascial and musculoskeletal constrictions. The insertion of needles is intended to create un-noticeable micro trauma; this induces a healing response in your body, releasing pain-relieving endorphins into your bloodstream. Essentially, acupuncture jump-starts your body’s self-healing mechanism. Your body is constantly repairing and rebuilding itself; acupuncture can help direct this healing response in a more efficient way.

Massage Treatments

Massage treatments available at the clinic can be booked alongside or independently from acupuncture treatment and can be a useful support to aid muscle recovery and further promote relaxation.

Acupuncture Facts

• Acupuncture does not hurt!

• Acupuncture needles are as fine as a human hair and many patients do not even notice when they are in. In fact, many patients fall asleep during their treatment.

• Many private health providers cover acupuncture treatment.

• 2.3 million acupuncture treatments are carried out each year by British Acupuncture Council members. Many people use traditional acupuncture to support a wide range of concerns from chronic pain to headaches, low back/ neck pain, TMJ through to pregnancy support or sports injuries.

New to the brilliant Toni&Guy team is Natalie Chen, Technical Colour Director, who has been in the industry over 25 year. We met up with Natalie to get some hair inspiration...

What hair colour trends do you predict for 2023?

A step towards rich softer blonde with more golden, biscuits, butterscotch tones. I think coppers and high contrast colours will be having their moment.

Which celebrities always nail it with their hair?

Matilda Djerf’s hair always looks so beautiful and effortless, her mix of golden blonde with a heavy fringe is always a win. I also think Julianne Moore is a timeless beauty; her hair always looks amazing.

What's your all-time favourite hair product?

I love the label.m fashion edition volume texture spray. It is a lightweight, versatile styling spray that combines texturising and hold for instant undone, textured styles. It's genius! I've got so many of my clients addicted to it too.
