UNDERSTANDING EFFECTIVE PAIN RELIEF
Many people in pain are not aware of the importance of treating the hidden causes of pain - which is the best way to achieve long lasting relief (better than just trying to suppress the symptoms by taking multiple cortisone shots, and tons of harsh pain killers for only temporary relief). Acupuncture, Massage, Shiatsu and Yoga offer an effective alternative way to relieve many causes of pain. By focusing on the underlying causes of pain, many patients report significant and longer lasting relief after the first visit. Common Pain Conditions: Lower Back Pain Pinched Nerve Neck or Cervical Pain Frozen Shoulder Muscle Knots Hand & Arm Numbness Leg Numbness Fibromyalgia Sciatica & Sciatic Pain Headaches & Migraines Tendonitis Tennis and Golfer’s Elbow Leg Cramps Myofascial pain syndrome Sports Injuries Chronic Fatigue Syndrome Carpal Tunnel Finger Tingling Pulled Hamstring Finger Tingling Hip Pain Heel Spur Planter Fasciitis

MATT'S CLINICAL APPROACH
The secret to effectively alleviating pain may involve combining numerous holistic therapies, such as acupuncture, cupping, massage, shiatsu, or yoga stretches - even in one treatment session. This unique approach allows discovery of the underlying hidden causes of pain and thus provides a much longer lasting relief. Many common types of pain, such as frozen shoulder, knee pain, and sciatica, are caused by numerous musculoskeletal disorders. Inflammation, scar tissues, poor blood circulation, fibromyalgia and nutrition deficiency are typical conditions that cause pain in joints, ligaments and muscles. For example, “frozen shoulder” is caused by a variety of inflammation that results in upper arm pain and limited range of motion. An effective treatment must eliminate the inflammation of tissue and also thicken synovial fluid in order to rejuvenate the injured area for long lasting relief. ACUPUNCTURE BENEFITS INNER SYSTEM
Acupuncture is a wonderfully effective healing system involving inserting thin disposable needles into the body at precise points (acupoints) to unblock the Qi that travel up and down the body over 29 meridians. Acupuncture sends pain relieving chemicals and oxygenated blood to the injury so the body can start to repair itself. Toxins and scar tissues that built up around the injured area can be carried away by improved blood circulation. Furthermore, it stimulates the parasympathetic nervous system to release endorphins, the body’s natural feel-good chemicals. These natural chemicals calm areas of the brain that register pain and activate the parts involved in rest and recuperation. REGULAR CUPPING FOR A HEALTHY LIFE
For thousands of years the Chinese, Europeans and many other cultures have used therapeutic cupping for asthma, fever, congestion and chronic or acute pain. Cupping treatments help promote healthy blood circulation, reduce inflammation, and release tight muscles. The suction created by this seal helps to mobilise blood flow, freeing any areas that have become stagnant. Cupping also pulls toxins and pathogens to the surface of the body where our immune system works best in eliminating these unwanted materials from our body. ZEN SHIATSU BENEFITS MUSCULOSKELETAL SYSTEM
Shiatsu applies deep but gentle pressure to muscle tissues, facia and lower layer ligaments in order to rejuvenate the musculoskeletal system. Similarly, acupoints are often nerve fiber branching points and muscle trigger points. When precisely massaged with the right level of pressure, shiatsu can effectively relax the muscle tension, increase blood flow in treated areas, and subside inflammation. The two approaches work hand in hand to maximize body’s self-healing mechanism, brining the most benefits to pain patients. For all Bookings: phone 0427539382 or email mrsincock@icloud.com.au

Matt Sincock is a professional health therapist. He is a registered practitioner of acupuncture, Remedial Massage, Shiatsu, Yoga, Martial Arts and First Aid Training. He runs a busy practice in Bellingen specialising in treating people suffering chronic health problems. Matt began his studies with an okido yoga teacher, Michael Wynne, in 1991. The natural simplicity and wisdom of oriental medicine was the first thing to make sense in Matt’s life, and he studied with Michael for three years. Michael’s style of teaching involved trekking deep into the wilderness for 7-10 days at a time, carrying only a yoga mat and a backpack full of macrobiotic food! It is during this time he began in-depth studies of yoga, zen shiatsu, and qigong. Matt went on to professionally study remedial massage, zen shiatsu, advanced neurological acupuncture, martial arts, and qigong,

In 2010, Matt became one of the founding members of a Community Acupuncture and Shiatsu clinic in Bellingen, offering low cost treatments to the community. In 2012, he established the Australian College of Eastern Medicine in Bellingen, a registered training organisation (RTO) teaching Diploma courses in Remedial Massage and Zen Shiatsu.

I am now offering support for people experiencing Alpha-gal syndrome (mammalian meat allergy following a tick bite).

This includes the use of auricular acupuncture, informed by the SAAT method, alongside a Chinese medicine approach to support regulation of the body’s response.

This approach involves placing a very small, retained needle in the ear for a period of time. It is used to gently influence how the body responds, while Chinese medicine supports overall regulation of digestion, stress, and systemic balance.

There is emerging research suggesting this approach may be helpful for some people, although further research is still needed.

You can read the study here:

If you or someone you know has developed sensitivity to red meat after a tick bite, feel free to get in touch to discuss whether this approach may be suitable.

What an amazing acupuncture masterclass, with the exceptional teacher, Jeff Shearer, from Evolve Acupuncture, in Newcastle.
Delving into the somatic experience of using just one acupuncture needle, holding the end gently, then feeling the wave of change it creates throughout the patient’s whole body.
Its like the last 18 years of training and practice all came together in a profound and unique way.
Adding on to the training from Dr Tan.
Very exciting to experience this advanced training with other acupuncturists from around Australia.
Feeling blessed…

That’s a wrap… last class for the year for me, teaching at the Australaian College of Eastern Medicine, Lismore campus. I’ve taught very occasionally, a few days each month, in Lismore, for two years, to international students studying a Diploma of Shiatsu and Oriental Therapies. Still get a buzz being amongst people passionate about learning bodywork.

A two week Qigong retreat/workshop in Kalang this November... I am really looking forward to this workshop with Qigong Master Simon Blow...

A good article on our modern lifestyle imbalances and using theraputic touch to readjust our body-mind.
“Shiatsu is a form of massage. But in Shiatsu, it’s all about the type and quality of touch. Shiatsu touches not only the body, but always the whole person. Every touch follows the breath, feels, senses, hears between the lines. Shiatsu practitioners experience every day how people can regain access to themselves through this special form of mindful touch and how this can initiate a healing process on all levels. This is not a technique—it is relationship in motion”

Cross training between Qigong and Chinese brush painting.
This is a painting I did at Camp Creative Chinese brush painting class this year, after a ten minute lesson.
Stephen, a very experienced Chinese Brush Painter, teacher, and a wonderful man, asked our Qigong class to share some Qigong practices with his students, as they were trying to learn to use their whole of their body & mind for each individual brush stroke.
In turn, they shared their techniques of simple movements to create harmony.
All my Qigong students did a painting and surprised themselves with the beauty of the result.
I love the places of cross-overs, where the inner workings of artistic practices intersect.

What a fantastic week teaching at Camp Creative this week… Qigong in the morning, Zen Shiatsu in the afternoon
