ABOUT BEN
Ben studied Acupuncture at the Northern College of Acupuncture, completing a Post Graduate Diploma and is a member of the British Acupuncture Council. He is also a qualified Remedial Massage Therapist, training at the Northern Institure of Massage and is affiliated to the National Association of Massage and Manipulative Therapists. ABOUT ACUPUNCTURE
Some people come for treatment of a sp

ecific issue or symptom, whereas others come to improve general wellbeing. Traditionally, Acupuncture addresses imbalances within the body by stimulating specific points on channels of energy called meridians. There is also ongoing research that is collecting evidence on how acupuncture affects hormones in the body and brain activity. ABOUT REMEDIAL MASSAGE
Remedial Massage uses specialised deep tissue massage techniques, movements and mobilisations that are designed to help the body recover from musculo-skeletal injuries and conditions amongst other things. It does this by increasing blood and lymph supply to an injured area, breaking down fibrous adhesions and reducing stress and tension. Below are details of working hours and clinic information.

WEBSITE DOWN!

What a pain in the bum - I disabled auto renew for my domain name because I've been burnt by huge automatic renewal charges before - but the reminder emails went to spam so I didn't renew it at all.

The long and short of it is they deleted benelliot.co.uk - It looks like I am able to recover the name as it is within some grace period, but they've done me in by holding it hostage and charging me ten times the usual amount to get it back 😢 .

Hopefully it will be back up soon, but in the meantime I'm hosting at my backup address which is acupunctureandmassageyork.com - you can read all the blog posts, do the anatomy for acupuncturists taster course (more of the actual course coming soon), and of course find out lots of information about acupuncture and book an appointment via the booking page.

I've not managed to post a lot over the last few months as I've had lots to do leading the Bodywork for Acupuncturists module at . I'll be back with info, tips and advice soon - but in the meantime here's a photo of me, and some of the staff and students in their last session with me in year 1 of learning to be an acupuncturist. Well done everyone - you've been ace.

Anatomy For Acupuncturists

I am developing a series of informative videos called 'Anatomy for Acupuncturists'. The purpose of these videos is to educate people about the anatomy of a muscle, and how it relates to acupuncture channel theory. They can be used by acupuncture students learning anatomy, and channel theory; but also established practitioners who want to refresh their knowledge of musculo-skeletal acupuncture theory....

ANATOMY FOR ACUPUNCTURISTS - TRAPEZIUS

Comment 'link' to have the link sent to your DMs

I'm starting a series of videos looking at muscles for an acupuncture view point. I'm hoping it'll be useful for students, new practitioners and anyone who feels like they could brush up on their anatomy and acupuncture channels.

The first 'episode' is a trial run, and I'm hoping to get some feedback on how useful it is. If you'd like to watch it head to benelliot.co.uk/courses

New additions to the clinic room. Anyone who has been recently will know I've been waiting to get some fish in my mega tank. Well now is the time and I'm slowly populating the tank with some beautiful fishes.

Viewing is by appointment only 😁

Different Types of Pain: What they tell us from Biomedical and TCM Acupuncture perspectives

How a patient describes their pain is valuable diagnostic information. In this post, I will discuss what this information can tell us from a more mechanical/biomedical standpoint, and how we use it from a Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) Acupuncture point of view. I'll also look at when the nature of someone's pain can throw up a red flag, prompting investigation for more serious conditions.

Learn about how dermatomes and myotomes and how they relate to the acupuncture channels at
https://www.benelliot.co.uk/post/myotomes-dermatomes-acupuncture-channels

The Bio-Medical terms myotomes and dermatomes provide links, though not always direct parallels, to the Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) channel system. In this post, I will investigate these links and explore where they are most usefully used in acupuncture practice.

The details of myotomes, dermatomes and acupuncture channels create an interesting map of our body and how it functions. Although the theories have been developed centuries apart, the parallels are striking in places. Being able to borrow aspects of one ideology from another means as acupuncturists, we can have the best of all worlds and an array of tools and models to use with our patients.
