EDEN Clinic

Adam Leighton Acupuncturist since 1998, is now located within the Osteopathic Clinic in Barnet. Unfortunately, with Covid descending in Winter 2020.

The Eden Clinic story…

Eden Clinic opened its doors 17 years ago in 2004, with the opening day supported by the Barnet mayor and good wishes sent by Theresa Villiers our local MP. A complementary health clinic was born, to serve the local Barnet community and surrounding North London areas by two passionate practitioners, Adam Leighton (Classical Acupuncturist) & Maurice Leane (Chiropodist), who had already worked in Barnet for over 6 years in Wood Street. We realised there was a need for a broad based, professionally run practice at prices that were fair and affordable whatever the age group. Adam and Maurice had over the years managed and run Eden Clinic continually striving to maintain the high standards expected by new and returning patients. We had a cohort of practitioners who were as enthusiastic as the partners, in helping people back to health. Our reputation for helping people with muscular-skeletal injuries, foot problems and fertility and obstetric matters (such as breech presentation and labour induction) meant referrals as well as recommendations came from all quarters over the years. We gradually saw a significant rise in anxiety, insomnia and palpitations with children, teenagers and adults over the last decade; these symptoms could also be accompanied by migraines, headaches, depression, eating disorders and/or IBS. More recently we have been treating Long Covid with Classical acupuncture. The clinic closed and then when it re-opened in the Summer it was with only Maurice and Adam seeing patients. It is with a heavy heart that both partners decided it was time for change and they closed the clinic in mid-June 2021. So now a new chapter awaits. Adam Leighton will now be offering his Acupuncture & Cupping at Bodylogics in Crescent Road, where physiotherapy, osteopathy and sports massage will also be on offer (www.bodylogics.co.uk). Maurice will be seeing old and new Chiropody patients in their homes. Adam Leighton and Maurice Leane are proud to have opened a health clinic that serviced the community for 17 years. It was a humbling and enriching experience to see so many people walk through our doors and feel better when they left. Thank you for your support and good wishes and please either visit Adam, round the corner, at Bodylogics or ask Maurice to attend your home. You can still contact either of us on 0208 440 4140.

Is this the goal?!

🤣 ok so the goal isn’t for your heard to turn 360!

But it is to be able to move your head freely, without pain or discomfort

Now this client can move and live without pain and that is the goal!

If you have neck, shoulder or headaches come and see me in the clinic

Send me a dm to book

Headaches start in the head right?

Well actually they often start somewhere else entirely.

Headaches are one of the most common things people come in with, and the causes are rarely just one thing.

Often it’s a combination of factors such as:

• chronic neck and shoulder tension
• long hours at screens
• poor sleep
• stress or nervous system overload
• circulation issues

Over time the body builds tension, especially around the neck, shoulders and upper back. When that tension accumulates, headaches can start to become more frequent.

This is why treatment often focuses not just on the head itself, but on relieving tension, improving circulation and helping the nervous system settle.

Because when the underlying patterns change, headaches often become less frequent and less intense.

So by all means find ways to manage the pain responsibly but also get curious and understand a bit more about your pattern.

If you need some support send me a dm I have some spaces for new client appointments in April 🙌🏻

This one of my favourite life hacks…

A simple, hot water, lemon and ginger

It’s so good for our digestion and a beautiful wake up ritual for your body

Simple yet so effective

Have you tried it?

Her painful neck was the symptom but it was a result of

A stress pattern

I like to describe stress and bit like treacle, it can give you a really good sense of how it can flow and move through all areas of your body

So with this client I eased the tension in her neck to make her more comfortable and we also explored the rest of the stress pattern.

We looked at her posture, her lifestyle, her diet, her sleep, her energy and we came up with a story together.

And our work since has been about understanding this story and restoring balance and coherence across her body so her body can let go of the stress and the symptoms.

If this way of working sounds interesting, send me a dm and I’d love to chat.

Thanks Adam

This episode of ‘The Treatment Room’…

Was from a new client of mine who asked about acupuncture and the nervous system

I could have talked for hours about this, it’s such a great question

There is a lot shared online about ‘the nervous system’ and in summary, yes it supports this system

Our nervous system has many roles and is involved in many processes and functions within the body

The power of acupuncture is that it supports the nervous system to function better therefore positively supporting many processes throughout the body

We are one human being and so when you use an approach that treats ‘the whole person’ you find you may come in with one problem but feel better across many areas of your body, mind and life 🙌🏻

Tune in next week where I answer another client question

Adam, The Eden Clinic

Why do I wake up at the same time every night?

The Treatment Room is a new series on here, where I will share some of the common questions my clients ask me 🙌🏻

My hope is this helps you or someone you know so please do share and feel free to ask any questions

Distributed sleep can be due to many things but the two most common reasons are stress and hormonal changes

The thing I focus on in the clinic is calming my client’s nervous system to essentially down regulated the systems that release the stress hormones throughout our bodies and then sleep becomes less disrupted

And not only do my clients report sleeping better they feel better and have more energy too

If you have a question, you’d like me to answer please send me a dm

“Is it painful and how big are the needles”?

This is one of the questions I get asked the most

In short, it is not painful but I do say you want to have some small sensation so you know you are tapping into the Qi (the energy) as this important In Acupuncture

If you have any more questions, please do reach out to me and if you are curious, book in for a session to experience it for yourself

“It has made my life so much better”

In our modern London lives it’s easy to get caught up in the busyness of it all and forget to stop, notice and feel grateful

I know the power of classical acupuncture, I’ve been practicing it for 27 years but hearing my client’s stories always reminds me of why I do what I do.

It works 🙌🏻 it changes lives 🙌🏻

If you are experiencing injury, pain or stress at the moment, send me a dm and I’ll send you a bespoke practice for you to try…it could be movement, breath-work or a lifestyle tip

Stress creates patterns in our body and mind…

They’re not random, they’re how the body responds to life.

What we need to do is disrupt any unhelpful patterns before it becomes a chronic issue.

This is exactly what acupuncture does.

We disrupt the pattern and this kick starts your bodies own healing process, then we add in simple lifestyle changes and other techniques such as tai chi to support the body to function in the most optimum and coherent way and prevent these patterns returning.

Dm if you would like to understand more about my treatments in the clinic.

Life can be stressful but we don’t have to carry the strain with us everyday and we can do this through many different healing techniques and modalities such as the ones I offer in my clinic.
