Multibed acupuncture clinics are based on the style of clinics offering acupuncture in China. By being able to treat more than one patient at time, a multibed clinic is able to offer acupuncture at much affordable rates than one to one treatments. When I trained in China my teacher used to operate 8 beds at one time! The room at the Changing Room is not quite that big, so I will only be running up to 3 beds at once. This means that the price of a 40 minute acupuncture treatment will be only £20!
This style of clinic is perfect for treating specific types of complaints, namely pain conditions, complaints during pregnancy and a wide array of digestive and stress related conditions. As the practitioner is looking after more than one patient at a time, the sessions are much more treatment intensive with less time to really converse with the practitioner meaning it does not lend itself to very complex or emotional based conditions.
There are a few multibed clinics that have grown up in the UK but The Open Space Acupuncture Clinic is the first in Hertfordshire. They prove very popular as they really open up the benefits of acupuncture to the wider community.
The clinic is also registered with the Association of Community and Multibed Acupuncture Clinics.
Open Space Acupuncture will opening in January 2010. So stay posted for more blogs about the clinic and the great opening offers!
