This is a truly honest review of my acupunture journey so far with Aliya. It’s been pretty life changing, focussing on the pain in my hands that was affecting every aspect of my daily life. I’d had acupuncture in my twenties, and wanted to try again. To be free from constant pain in my hands, to improve my sleep and to get a bit more active and healthier. After the first session I felt no different. I was so disappointed but persevered and after the second session my hands were immediately better. I was so shocked. I could do basic actions such as chopping veg ! I’d had shopping bags slip out of my hands, but amazingly there was no pain whatsoever and I gained strength. I’ve now had 4 sessions – unbelievably no pain and I’ve started sewing again, which would have been unimaginable a few months ago. It’s definitely a journey but now I’m more confident and notice I’m not complaining everyday about my hand pain. To be out of so much pain is life changing. Thank you Aliya X X X X Geraldine Hurd.
