For 2500 years acupuncture has been used in China and other eastern cultures to stimulate the body's own healing response to help restore, promote and maintain good health and energy levels. Today traditional acupuncture is practiced all around the world and is one of the fastest growing and most popular complementary therapies in the West.

First Point Acupuncture is based in Tilstock, a small village on the outskirts of Whitchurch, in northern Shropshire. Being close to the borders of south Cheshire and Wales we are within easy reach of Chester, Nantwich, Market Drayton, Wem, Shrewsbury and Wrexham.

My name is Sarah Woodward, I gained my Bachelor of Science (Honours) degree in Acupuncture from Glyndwr University, and have an extensive understanding of both Western and Traditional Chinese medicine. I am a member of the Federation of Holistic Therapists and abide by strict Codes of Ethics and Safe Practice. I am fully licensed and compliant with all current Shropshire Council hygiene standards and safety regulations for acupuncture practitioners, and covered by full professional indemnity and public liability insurance. As a traditional acupuncture practitioner I trained in Chinese medicine theory and understand the importance of treating each person as an individual, observing and interpreting subtle signs and physical changes in order to identify the precise nature of imbalance.
