I have been playing sport all my life and am an extremely active individual. Roughly 16 months ago I slowly began to be debilitated by emerging pain from my lower back. After putting up with this pain for quite some time and training through it I decided it was time to go to the physio! Well that is where the fun began, after going to five different physio's and being told I was back to normal I got caught in a cycle!

Each time I went back to do any sort of training I would end up back at square one, I even took up pilates- but this didn't help either. The reason i was still injured! I had spent a lot of time and money on physio along with having to take pain killers after any sort of activity. At this stage I was pretty disillusioned, until I heard about Anthony's work through a friend.

After 5 sessions with  Anthony over two months I was back playing and training like never before! So in after 16 months injured and many many physio's Anthony got me back to normal within two months! Well if that doesn't send a clear message I don't know what will ;)

Anita - Severe Injury

15th March 2010

I started to go to see Anthony in August of last year haven had a bad fall a year previous I had numerous problems  with my neck shoulder arm back hip and my left knee. I had attended physiotherpy for almost a year and had had numerous procedures done for pain management (injections into the pain sites) and none of these gave me any great relieve.Anthony was recommend to me by a girl in the chemist,she had told me that another customer had gone to him and taught he was great so I booked my first apppointment and to be honest really had no idea what Twee Nah was all about, I saw anthony for number of appointments in the first few weeks. I recall coming home after my 5th visit and having no pain at all.I can honestly say anthony and his magic hands have given me hope that I will make a full recovery which other treatments didnt.I now see Anthony every 3 weeks but if the need be at shorter intervals.I plan to  continue with my treatments for the unforseeable future as it really helps me in all aspects of everyday life.Keep up the good work Anthony I cant thank you enough.

Kind regards

Anita Gallagher

Sinead - birthing

Wanting to have a natural birth, I was so disappointed when I heard that I would be induced by the Monday if things didnt happen naturally. I was nearly 10 days over my due date and the head was not engaged! A public health nurse in the Blanchardstown area recommended acccupuncture to help bring on labour. She too had attended Anthony in the past. I visited Anthony in purehealth on the Friday before the 'planned induction' and whether by coincidence or the accupuncure isteslf went into labour in the early hours of saturday morning! My beautiful baby Eoghan was born Saturday evening

 I have suffered with back pain for the past 8 or so years. During this time I have seen various therapists - mainly Physiotherapists and Chiropractors. In fact, for a period of some 4 years I attended a Chiropractor WEEKLY. This would give me some relief, but the effects were short lived and I felt stuck in a loop. I felt dependant on the Chiropractor's adjustments to get me through the day. Not to mention the financial burden of weekly visits for 4 years! Then I decided to attend Anthony at his clinic in Pure Health. I can truly say, I have only seen Anthony 4 times so far (and it hasn\'t been every week either, but spread out, a point that makes me realise he isn\'t just after my money!), and already I feel a great improvement. My physical and even my mental outlook have improved significantly since Anthony took me under his wing. I now lead an active life, pursuing normal everyday activities and sports that would once be out of the question. Anthony carries out his work in a professional manner, and his very approachable and friendly to talk to. Anthony always answers any questions I may have, and always explains the purpose of the particular treatment he is carrying out. This gives a feeling of reassurance. Anthony's sessions are very dynamic and holistic in nature. He doesn't just go through the motions every time he sees you - but rather, he assesses you each time, and depending on his findings he may try a different approach to the last time.
I would definitely recommend Combined Chinese Therapy. If you, like me, have a Chronic condition or even if you just want to relax with a bit of Acupuncture - it's definitely the way to go. If you have a session with Anthony I guarantee you that you will leave feeling a hundred times better than you did before. Deciding to go see Anthony was one of the best decisions I have ever made

Maire & Husband - fertility

My husband and I attended Anthony's clinic for fertility reasons. We were trying for a baby for almost a year without success. My husband's first semen analysis showed poor sperm motility and IVF was recommended for us. We had read that Acupuncture was beneficial when trying to conceive. Following four sessions with Anthony, my husband took the semen test again. His motility has increased 7 fold! We were thrilled with the results. I have had two sessions of Acupuncture and have found that I am pregnant. We belieive the treatment we both received from Anthony has helped us conceive for our much longed for baby. We both intend to continue with our treatments and as a result of our reversal of fortune, we have great faith in Acupuncture." 14/03/08
 

G. Bourke - sports injury

I have been playing sport since I was 8 years old and continue to play several different sports at a high level. The reason I tell you this is to show that I have been putting my body under a lot of pressure for a long time. Four years ago, at age 21, I picked up what I thought was a minor niggle of an injury. It turned out that I wouldn't be able to play anything competitively for 3 years. I attended some of the most prominent sports injury specialists in the country and although I learned alot from them, i.e. putting stretching in the same realm of importance as speed and strength work, I was told that maybe sport was just not for me.
Anthony was recommended to me by a coach who told me to go once and see what I thought. Anthony impressed me for the following reasons. He has an indepth knowledge of the body which did not just come from one school of thought. As a combined therapist his disciplines are taken from both eastern and western philosophies, and therefore he has a multi-dimensional approach to assessing and treating you. Unlike other practitioners, he did not just go straight in with his elbows and then slap a machine on me and tell me to do a few exercises.
After every session he aims for a marked improvement in your symptoms but more importantly to tackle the real cause of these symptoms. You will feel a marked improvement after every session. After approximately 8 sessions I was able to start competing again. This was, as I mentioned earlier, after I was told that there was nothing that could be done. As any athlete, who has gone through 3 years of injury, will tell you, it was the most frustrating period of my life. I am grateful to Anthony for helping me through this period and getting me out the otherside.
I would highly recommend to any person with re-curring injuries sporting or otherwise or indeed any physical problem, to give Anthony a try

Sabina- skin problems

For a year I suffered from a really bad skin condition on my hands. It was very itchy, looked horrible, and was preventing me from doing everyday things. I had beem to a few dermatologists but they couldn't help me, they couldn't even diagnose what it was or how to cure it. They only thing they prescribed was steriod creams which worked temporarily but didn't cure my condition; infact sometimes the cream made the condition worse. I had never been to an alternatibe medicine centre before so I was a little bit sceptical at the beginning. I wasn't sure what to expect, but I gave it a try and it was the best thing I did. After a few sessions of acupuncture my skin condition greatly improved, it is not itchy anymore and what is more important is that the appearance of y hands is so much better now . Also I realised that to cure yourself of any conditions you may have, you need to look at your body as a whole system not just one particular thing. Basically acupunctures looks at your body as a whole and improves your immune system. An added bonus is that since having acupuncture I have started watching my diet and I feel so much better.

Rachel Elmes - muscular tension

I had a continuous pain between my shoulder blades for over 2 years. I had tried physio, a chiropractor, anti-inflammatory tablets too but with no relief. Then I met Anthony. AFter just two treatments, the pain was gone. Since then Anthony has treated me a number of times for different ailments such as constipation, sore shoulder and stress. I have had acupuncture; a very deep massage (which is great for getting rid of those stubborn knots); my limbs pulled in all directions; the suction cups to get rid of toxins - just make sure you don't need to wear a backless dress for the next week!! After the treatment, a hot bath, glass of wine, two early nights and I am as good as new. Anthony is very professional and I would highly recommend him.

S. Mitchell - back pain

As one slightly sceptical and doubting client, it was very interesting for me to go to Anthony. I had numerous on-going problems that weren't very serious but were those which irritates one occasionally over a long period of time. My main concern was my back, through which I had lower back pain and resulted in me spending days on the floor or requiring some-body's help to get out of bed, even if it was very irregular. I had been to doctors but all they gave me was an anti-inflammatory and the specialists wouldn't see me 'because it wasn't serious enough'! Anthony helped me realise that it wasn't all about medicines and modern western science. You could combine a wide variety of theories and treatments to get the result you needed, and nine times out of ten the problem wouldn't be where the pain is but somewhere else! Not only did my back pain practically stop affecting me completely, but I received other treatments for stomach problems and emotional and work-related stress. Unusual treatments such as chinese cupping and bone floatation combined with well-known ideas such as massage and muscle/skeletal manipulation all helped me to feel better and realise the potential of Chinese Medicine, particularly Tui Na. Thank you Anthony!

Susan Gray - migraines

I have been a life-long sufferer of migraines until I got treatment from Anthony - which was painless & immediately effective. I haven't had a headache in six months - & counting!! -nor have I had to take any painkillers in that time :-)
I can't recommend the health care practised by Anthony enough - it has made a huge difference to my quality of life, I feel more balanced in every way and I can now look forward to various events without having to constantly worry if a migraine attack will prevent me from joining in the fun.

B. Haines

I have suffered with anxiety attacks for 15 years and I was so restricted in my confidence and ability to live life to the full. On meeting Anthony for the first time I was immediately impressed with his logic and reasoning based on his '5 - Element' approach to healing. He advised me that not only injury and trauma can damage the organs of the body, but trapped and repressed emotions. Anthony advised me that my previous fast paced lifestyle had am big impact on my emotional health. Now 6 weeks on, my life has dramatically changed and I honestly say I am seeing a brighter and healthier future, I feel ten times more confident in myself. Who could image tiny needles could do this! Amazing.....

Breda - fertility

We had a success this morning. One healthy heartbeat.
