"During 2003 Mark Norris helped me with acupuncture to relieve pain in my shoulder and leg.

I found Mark to be very professional in his work, he always discussed and explained very clearly the procedures and treatment."

Mrs J, Reading

"I initially went to Mark for acupuncture for a nagging shoulder injury I sustained doing Aikido, my martial art. He tested my shoulder for range of motion and then treated it with local points for the pain and swelling, plus some constitutional points to help with the healing process.

After a few sessions the pain had reduced considerably and my range of motion had increased, so the swelling had also diminished. At that stage Mark suggested that I continue with treatment to help with some other problems I was having, including IBS, tiredness and a weak immune system.

He continued to treat points to boost my constitution and strengthen the weaker organs that were contributing to my symptoms. I'm very pleased to say that the treatment has greatly improved my health - I haven't been ill for 5 months, despite being exposed to cold viruses, my energy has increased considerably, and the IBS symptoms are milder and less frequent.

Mark's background in sports injuries and Shiatsu was very valuable when treating my injury, as he was able to use these as an addition to the main acupuncture treatment to ensure that my shoulder got the most effective therapy. He also works in a very professional manner with clients. He always takes clear notes and took a thorough case history before starting to treat me, and checks back with me on any changes since the last treatment.

The treatment room is very comfortable, clean and well-equipped and Mark is very organised in having everything to hand ready for each session. ! will continue to go to Mark for acupuncture as I feel that he has helped me, in a big way, to resolve my health issues and I'm very happy with him as a practitioner."

"I have been receiving Shiatsu and Acupuncture treatments from Mark Norris for approximately six months. I had had treatment previously from another practitioner, but stopped as the treatment was too rushed, impersonal and did not appear to he helping my ailments.

I am a long term sufferer of Ankylosing Spondylitis (2o years), suffer from stress from work, and have some poorer internal organ functions, which result in tiredness late afternoons.

The course from Mark has consisted of treatments on the feet, legs, hands, arms, back (along the spine) and the head, and it has improved my life considerably. The two outwardly noticeable changes are that I no longer become tired in the afternoons and that the stress has been greatly reduced.

A specific treatment for a cold and bad phlegm which happened to coincide with my usual appointment also had a remarkable effect. My general well being has improved greatly, and I am convinced that the symptoms of the A.S. have been halted if not even improved.

I continue to have the treatment and would consider Mark to be the best and most professional practitioner I have come across."

Mr S, Mortimer

"I have been seeing Mark since the beginning of November 2003 for the treatment, by acupuncture and shiatsu, of stress related ailments and poor circulation.

Mark has been most understanding & considerate of me & is very professional. My condition has improved greatly.

I feel calmer, more relaxed and my circulation has improved. I have great confidence in his abilities as an acupuncturist & I would not hesitate to recommend him, as I have done, to friends and collieagues."

Miss V, Maidenhead

"I would like to congratulate Mark Norris on his professional attitude towards the alternative treatment of acupuncture.

I was immediately put at ease by everything Mark explained to me and did. The acupuncture helped relieve my stress but also enabled me to understand how my body was reacting to the stress and change my lifestyle.

Mark was calm, professional and at all times I was able to understand what he was doing. Mark explained everything and was able to put mvy mind at ease about anything I asked him. I would have no hesitation recommending Mark to any of my friends who wanted to explore the alternative treatment of acupuncture for many ailments."
