Did you know that addressing tendinitis in acupuncture requires more than just local treatment on the affected tendon?
The liver meridian, which governs the smooth flow of Qi and blood, plays a crucial role. When the liver functions optimally, it nourishes the tendons and maintains their flexibility and strength. By treating the liver meridian alongside the affected tendon, acupuncture restores balance and promotes healing from within. This comprehensive approach addresses underlying imbalances and maximizes the potential for long-lasting relief and improved tendon health. Embracing the power of acupuncture on the liver meridian unlocks a holistic path to healing, targeting both symptoms and root causes.

Your acupuncturist is always doing much more than it seems. 🙂🌱

Hey I'm Filipe, the founder of .

I trained to be an acupuncturist at the New Zealand College of Chinese Medicine (NZCCM) where I learnt from some of the most skilled and experienced traditional Chinese medicine practitioners in New Zealand.

I have a Bachelor of Health in Acupuncture, as well as a Bachelor of Science in Biology which complements my understanding of the world and its organisms, including you.

I enjoy practising the full spectrum of Traditional Chinese Medicine TCM and can treat many issues such as pain, injuries, digestive complaints, insomnia, stress, psycho-spiritual challenges, infertility and much more.

My interests in health go beyond Acupuncture and TCM, they also include yoga, nutrition, psychology and neuroscience.

I am originally from São Paulo, Brazil and have been living in NZ since 2007. Mount Maunganui which is a special place for me. When I not working I am enjoying spending time with my family, surfing, hiking in the Kaimai range and travelling.

Acupuncture is an ancient Chinese Medicine technique that originated before 2500 BCE.
“Acupuncture improves the body’s functions and promotes the natural self-healing process by stimulating specific anatomic sites--commonly referred to as acupuncture points, or acupoints. The most common method used to stimulate acupoints is the insertion of fine, sterile needles into the skin. Pressure, heat, or electrical stimulation may further enhance the effects. Other acupoint stimulation techniques include manual massage, moxibustion or heat therapy, cupping, and the application of topical herbal medicines and linaments.
Traditional Chinese Medicine is based on an ancient philosophy that describes the universe, and the body, in terms of two opposing forces: yin and yang. When these forces are in balance, the body is healthy. Energy, called "qi" (pronounced "chee") flows along specific pathways, called meridians, throughout the body. This constant flow of energy keeps the yin and yang forces balanced. However, if the flow of energy gets blocked, like water getting stuck behind a dam, the disruption can lead to pain, lack of function, or illness. Acupuncture therapy can release blocked qi in the body and stimulate function, evoking the body’s natural healing response through various physiological systems. Modern research has demonstrated acupuncture’s effects on the nervous system, endocrine and immune systems, cardiovascular system, and digestive system. By stimulating the body’s various systems, acupuncture can help to resolve pain and improve sleep, digestive function, and sense of well-being.”
