Having suffered for over 40 years with a back problem and recently gone through a particularly painful episode, I wondered what else could I try to help me.

I have tried many different types of treatment either prescribed by my GP or independently. some have helped to a degree.

Seeing acupuncture advertised on board at the Lotus Spa (Crown Princess) I decided to book a consultation.

Martina was very thorough asking questions and explained everything.

Singing on for a course of treatment (18 sessions) I was, I must admit skeptical about the outcome.

However, I can say in all honesty that acupuncture has helped, both my posture and mobility have improved so far.

I realize after 40 years there will be no quick fix but I have seen sufficient improvement to follow up when I am at home.
