Acupuncture may be incorporated into an assessment-led bodywork appointment when it is appropriate, suitable and clearly consented to—not added automatically.
Choose your preferred time in Square and pay the 50% deposit to submit your request. Tony will secure your private treatment room at Light Centre Monument, then confirm your appointment. If that time cannot be accommodated, you can choose another appointment or receive a full deposit refund.
A considered approach
Treatment shaped around the person, not a standard routine.

Tony is a qualified acupuncture and cupping practitioner. At WholePerson Bodywork, acupuncture is considered alongside your history, symptoms, preferences and any relevant assessment. It may be used with soft-tissue therapy or not used at all.
Before needling, Tony explains why it is being considered, what you may feel and what alternatives are available. You can decide not to proceed or ask for the needles to be removed at any time.
Realistic expectations and appropriate screening.
Responses to acupuncture vary. The website does not claim that acupuncture cures disease or guarantees a particular result. You should disclose pregnancy, medication, bleeding disorders, needle anxiety, infection risk, recent procedures and other relevant health information during screening.
Acupuncture at WholePerson Bodywork is complementary care and does not replace diagnosis or treatment from a GP or other regulated healthcare professional where that is needed.
