Michael Clements - Acupuncture Clinic - Launceston

I am posting this review because as a psychotherapist, I have been deeply impressed by Michael's holistic and compassionate approach, both in relation to my own experience with him, and those of my partner, and one of my supervisors.

His expertise as an acupuncturist is obviously based on years of experience.
He also brings to his work what the deeply influential Carl Rogers calls, "the core conditions", of congruence (or genuineness), empathy, and unconditional positive regard ( or non-judgment).

For me, it is this capacity that makes him an outstanding acupuncturist.

I was recently suffering really badly with Sciatica which was off the back of long term shoulder injuries and resulting back pain. The sciatica was the last straw I knew I needed help. I’ve tried chiropractors before always a waste of time. Thank goodness I found Michael. His treatments are seriously life changing.

My first session 90% of my Sciatica was disbursed immediately and gone by session 2. I have visited Michael twice a month ever since and always will. He is very intuitive and can read into your emotional state aswell as your physical. We have moved on to my long term shoulder injuries where having dislocated my right shoulder twice before I have been living with restricted movement for years. In one session on my shoulder I could not believe the difference in movement.

I cannot recommend Michael highly enough. If you are at that point your wits end you must go and see Michael. I feel so much more positive and happy due to Michael’s treatments. He is amazing

I attended Michael's clinic 3 times in September as I was suffering extreme pain from sciatica which was affecting the whole of my right leg so much so that I could hardly walk and was getting no sleep despite taking pain killers prescribed by my doctor.

Michael put me at my ease from the start of my first visit and I had considerable relief from pain on that first visit and after the 3rd visit my cure was complete. I can now walk miles with no trouble which for an 85 year old is not bad and have recently spent 3 days stone walling with no problems.

I would thoroughly recommend Michael to anyone suffering from back or muscle pain.

Michael has diagnosed the problem and is working on relieving the condition and getting everything back to how it should be. He is an extremely pleasant and an interesting person, who put me at my ease straight away. I have every confidence in him. I have had three treatment sessions with Michael, so far, which have definitely improved things for me.
