Patrick Wong Acupuncture Gentle Japanese Acupuncture

Practicing since 2002. Registered practitioner Acupuncture is a traditional medicine that has been around for thousands of years.

Originating in China, it developed a bit differently in Japan. More specifically, the style of acupuncture that I practice, Toyohari, was originally developed by blind practitioners. As you can imagine, blind people develop a very unique and heightened sense of touch. This lends itself perfectly to acupuncture as very subtle changes on the surface of the skin indicate areas that can be treated. How does acupuncture? In this type of medical model, it's believed that there are channels or meridians of energy (qi or ki) flowing through the body as well as body fluids like blood. When qi is deficient or not flowing correctly (or both) there is disease. In this context, the term "disease" is very broad and includes things like pain and reduced functionality as well as recognised diseases. The goal of acupuncture, then, is to balance the body's qi to optimise health. This, in turn, fights & wards off disease. So what can acupuncture treat? Well, many things from aches and pains (including sports injuries and arthritis) to fertility issues to metabolic disorders to childhood illnesses to a general feeling of unwellness and much more. I studied Traditional Chinese Medicine (acupuncture and Chinese Herbal Medicine) at the University of Technology in Sydney - graduating in 2001. I then studied Toyohari in Sydney and Japan completing both extensive beginner and advanced courses. I have been practicing since 2002. Prior to this, I was a professional musician (double bass and electric bass). I played in many different types of musical ensembles including orchestras, big bands, small jazz groups and pop bands (such as Leonardo's Bride, Melissa Tallon, Michael Spiby).
