Amazing treatment and service!

I’ve been suffering from chronic sinusitis and migraines for at least 8 years and multiple appointments with ENTs and GPs have not helped. I decided to take massive action and try acupuncture with Duncan. After explaining my history and symptoms Duncan made a treatment plan over a series of visits to target the problem areas. From the first treatment I felt changes and around 6 treatments later I have had huge reduction in the migraines and more control over the sinusitis symptoms. Duncan is highly knowledgeable, kind and amazing at what he does, so don’t hesitate to try him out if you have a condition that medicine just cannot resolve. Highly recommended and thank you :)

It is always a delight to see him.

I have been working with Duncan for afew months now I so can give an honest review in saying that he has genuinely changed my life. He has successfully worked on a persistent hip pain no other professional has been able to figure out. He has most recently helped with a foot issue I have been ignoring aswell as acupuncture for other issues. I love my sessions with Duncan as they are specific to how I am feeling on that day whilst also focusing on my original issue that I know will take some time longer. I love his space and energy and the multiple practices he uses in each session. It is always a delight to see him, I know I will leave feeling good.

I had a neck injury years ago

I had a neck injury years ago, and spend long hours working in front of screens. I first visited Duncan a few years after the accident for acupuncture and I felt immeasurably better after a few sessions. I’ve returned recently because my back problems have got worse with age and work. I’d been visiting a local osteopath for a few years with slow incremental change - most of the relief and improvement I could trace to my own level of exercise; I was feeling frustrated, and received a random email from Acubody recently, and decided to revisit. Duncan’s approach is unique ans multidisciplinary. Diagnosis discovered other issues not seen by my previous osteopaths, and I felt the benefits after the first session, my shoulders and neck felt unlocked and free for the first time in 6 months. I’ve had 2 sessions since and I can feel huge developments towards better movement and pain free living. I visited osteopaths and acupuncturists separately before, but the Acubody approach combines the best of both, and the exercises are much simpler and better general exercise, than previous osteo’s micro stretches, and come with video instructions to remind you at home.
The sessions are relaxed, comfortable and courteous. I’m annoyed with myself I didn’t come back to Duncan sooner!

Thanks for sharing, so pleased it has been so helpful for you!

Lifelong benefit - renewed optimism for physical strength, general wellness and my longterm health.

I chose Acubody because I had been experiencing a general unwellness/fatigue and also pain from old injuries, plus I knew that I would enjoy the Chi Gung element, which would be essential if I was going to stay committed to something. I wanted a one to one trainer for specific help with my injuries and also to keep myself accountable. I am just now completing the 100 days program, with significantly less pain, a lot more muscle tone, a renewed love of movement, a lot more energy and I'm pretty sure an improved immune system. I couldn't be happier with this bespoke training. Duncan has a significant depth of knowledge which has given me confidence and optimism for a body that I had previously felt was in decline. I have established a regular practice which I'd never managed before and I know that all I have learned is having a profound effect on my health, well being, strength, balance and confidence. I so happy about it and grateful to Acubody. Thoroughly recommend.

Accupuncture with Duncan

Duncan is a great listener and very understanding. He responds well and is sensitive in the way he works. I had complete confidence in his analysis and the accupuncture given. It certainly helped. It was also very relaxing.

I went to Acubody Ltd

I went to Acubody Ltd, having had 2+ weeks of back pain that severely restricted my movement.
After the hour my ability to move was dramatically improved and the pain significantly reduced.
I was given a few exercises to do at home to keep the problem from coming back.
I highly recommend Acubody!

I have been seeing Duncan for…

I have been seeing Duncan for acupuncture and myofascial release for 4 years now, he has treated a childhood problem with my shoulder and my back so successfully that I now see him to maintain my general health, can't recommend him enough for long term sustained health.

Best physio EVER

I found Duncan after seeing multiple physios who had very little constructive to say about a back/glute/hip problem that was making day to day life pretty unbearable. He spent real time (every session) listening to me, and doing multiple diagnostic tests of my movement and pain and got to both the reasons for the acute flare up AND the underlying multi-year drivers. I was on a path to MRIs and injections and all sorts, and Duncan sorted me within weeks just with physio massage, acupuncture and at home (managable!) exercises. Honestly cannot speak more highly about his entire approach, he puts so many other “famous” bodywork people to shame!

Very pleased!

I came with an ankle injury that I'd had for 8 months and after cortisone shots, MRI, CT and ultra sounds I still didn't know the root cause or cure. After 4 sessions of acupuncture with Duncan the pain has already gone down and I have hope that I might actually be pain free one day! Looking forward to seeing the results from my next sessions!

Amazing experience!

had such a wonderful experience with Duncan! I suffer from back and abdomen pain for which I see a therapist weekly. I came to London for a week for a work event, and I luckily found Duncan. He acted with the utmost professionalism. He connected with my therapist in the States in advance of our visit to learn about my weekly treatment, and he even came to my hotel to provide treatment, which reduced my work related stress. Duncan practiced message therapy and myofasial release. He did an AMAZING job and l allowed me to enjoy my time in London pain free! He is extremely knowledgeable about the human anatomy. I will defiantly be reaching out to him again for my next visit!

Great Level of Expertise

I came with a herniated L5S1 disc in my lower back and was pleasantly surprised when I noticed a gradual improvement with every session. This was the first time i'd tried acupuncture, Duncan was very professional and his techniques helped me feel relaxed and reassured throughout.

Was suffering from a clogged ear and sinus

I was suffering from a sinus and ear fullness . Took a course of steriods for 5 days get relief for few days and that awful feeling came back again . The ENT doctor sent me for an MRI and CT scan
I postponed that and decided to try accupencture. After a long and deep research I found Duncan' details I read each and single review about his work and how people are satisfied. Decided to go ahead . The first appointment was a full diagnosis . He will make sure to ask you about your full health history and take notes of everything! We started the treatment, and YEEES I'm much much much better than before . I might need extra session to make it 100% cured (my ear) . I can't recommend him enough. Will make sure to address other health issues with him as well.

I went to Duncan with facial and neck pain after a surgery and he was extremely helpful and thoroughly listened to me. He offered different approaches in order to combat my pain and after a session, I could feel the benefits

Chronic pain hugely improved

My ankle has hurt constantly for over 40 years after a bad fall, and I'd honestly given up on the idea of improvement. I was skeptical at first but Duncan came highly recommended. He was extremely thorough and detailed in our first video evaluation, and I was really amazed at how much the pain reduced, month by month, until at times it was nearly gone. The results definitely depended on doing the work every day, but it was well worth it.

After mulitple physios, great to find someone who I can rely on for everything

I've been to a few physios over the years, but the results from Duncan are far better than I've seen anywhere else.

As someone getting into running to the point where I'm now doing a marathon a year, I'm often with some niggle, or more serious pain.

Whether it's tightness in my calves, or more searing back pain, I'm confident Duncan will be able to improve the condition. On top of this, a session is always booked in for the week after a race, as I know I'll come away from it feeling as good as new (almost!).

Would highly recommend

Duncan is extremely skilled and very professional. I went to him on a recommended and have not regretted it. One bit! He has helped me with a number of women's health concerns; prolapse, heavy and painful periods and he also ended up helping with my asthma too!
An absolute star! Thank you Duncan!!
