My name is Renata. I am an acupuncturist and a massage therapist, based in Manchester.
I am fully qualified, insured and registered with ATCM (The Association of Traditional Chinese Medicine and Acupuncture), the FHT (Federation of Holistic Therapists) I am committed to delivering all treatments to the highest possible standards.
After I completed my degree of Traditional Chinese medicine and Acupuncture at the University of Salford in 2010, I went on to join some great clinics and practised alongside some fantastic and renowned acupuncturists.
In 2015 I set up my own clinic – Ren Acupuncture – offering a broad range of therapies – acupuncture, cupping, Chinese food therapy, deep tissue massage, zen-touch shiatsu massage, meridian stretches and meditation. I continue to develop and deepen my skills through training and teaching.
I have helped clients to manage chronic pain and other types of pain such as tension headaches, migraines, back pain, neck pain, joint pain and postoperative pain. I have also treated clients with neurological issues and post-stroke complications, psychological issues, gynaecological and gastrointestinal problems, allergies and skin conditions.
My therapy clinic is located in Old Trafford, Manchester, M16 7QU. I am located within easy travel distance of Manchester City Centre, The M60 and the M602.
Acupuncture treatment involves the insertion of fine needles into ‘Acupoints’ located along the energy channels called meridians. Acupuncture is painless, you may be aware of subtle sensations at first like tingling, pulling or ache, but once all needles are inserted these sensations settle and many people experience a feeling of deep relaxation. Acupuncture aims to improve overall health and well-being.
Drawing from 17 years of personal exploration and growth, I understand the challenges and rewards of meditation firsthand. Meditation is a personal journey within, offering a unique opportunity to connect to and explore different aspects of yourself, depending on how deep you’re willing to go and how much you’re prepared to release.
Zen Touch™ Shiatsu offers a gentle yet effective bodywork therapy experience, conducted on a comfortable futon mat. During the session, I apply subtle pressure to specific acupoints and areas of the body, complemented by gentle stretches, rotations, and non-invasive manipulations. Each touch serves as both a therapeutic intervention and an assessment tool, allowing me to discern the flow of energy within your body.
Therapeutic massage can be beneficial in improving circulation and muscle function. It can help to break up scar tissue, relieve pain and induce relaxation. In addition to massage that works well on the soft connective tissue, I use Deep Tissue massage to work on deep muscles, tendons and fascia, I also use Acupressure to promote flow.
Cupping therapy helps to increase blood flow to the muscles, promoting relaxation and alleviating pain associated with conditions like muscle strains, tension headaches, and fibromyalgia. Cupping therapy stands as a versatile treatment option for a wide range of ailments, including flu, colds, headaches, muscle tension, skin conditions, and symptoms associated with excess heat in the body.
Meridian exercises are part of the Traditional Chinese Medicine. They are design to facilitate the opening of the body’s meridian system and harmonize the energy flow within their associated organs. These meridians act as pathways through which the life force energy, known as Qi, circulates. Through meridian stretching, specific movements and stretches are employed to target and invigorate the flow of Qi along these meridians.
