PUT YOUR BODY
IN GOOD HANDS
Ancient Wisdom + Modern Knowledge
About
My Mission
​
Welcome to my practice where the wisdom of eastern philosophy converges with modern knowledge. My name is Rebecca Burns, and I am passionate about helping you achieve balance, wellness, and relief from pain through an integrated and evidence based approach. Whilst my approach is rooted in Traditional Chinese Medicine philosophy, I bring a unique perspective to healing by combining it with neuro-anatomical techniques.
I have honed my clinical skills over the past decade, but it is a continuous process of growth and learning, one that I am grateful to embark upon every single day. What began as a curiosity has evolved into a deep-rooted passion, as I have witnessed the remarkable impact acupuncture can have on people's lives.
​
Pain can be relentless, impacting every facet of our lives. I know first hand how debilitating pain can be, and the challenges associated with recovery. I hope to be of service to you in your recovery, and share my skills and knowledge. At my practice, you're not just another client – you're a unique individual on your own health journey, and I am committed to providing you with the highest level of care.

Traditional Chinese Medicine
Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) is a system of medicine that has a different history and approach than Western medicine. Rather than treating the disease, TCM treats the person, and their patterns of disharmony. It recognizes that each person is different, with different needs. TCM works to balance the body’s substances - qi, blood, and fluids. It does this by using the meridians which act as passages to the organs and body systems.
TCM uses the theories of yin and yang to describe and harmonize the symbiotic relationships within the body systems. Acupuncture is an effective treatment for pain and is amazing for relaxation and managing stress. I feel fortunate to be able to use the traditional philosophy and techniques which have been passed down from the ancient scholars who worked so hard dedicating their lives to healing others. I also have a strong focus on providing treatment based on up-to-date information and scientific evidence.
​
Modern Medicine
Using modern knowledge of physiology and neurology, orthopaedic acupuncture treats dysfunction in muscles and joints which cause pain and limit your quality of life. Orthopaedic acupuncture uses motor points and trigger points to release and reactivate the muscles, facilitate neuro-modulation, eliminate pain, increase strength and proprioception, and improve recovery. These techniques are suitable for anyone – from elite athletes to the elderly.
​
What to Expect
Rebecca may use orthopaedic testing, questioning, and a tongue and pulse examination to help with your diagnosis. A range of techniques may be used within the treatment. Acupuncture is often combined with electrical stimulation, moxibustion and massage to increase clinical outcomes. A Chinese Herbal Formula may also be prescribed, as well as dietary or exercise advice.
Rebecca aims to have you out of pain and improve your quality of life in as few treatments as possible, however, some conditions, particularly chronic conditions can take a while. She will discuss a treatment plan with you after your assessment and initial treatment.
