Urban Body Balance

Good health is our greatest gift & something we all want to achieve and maintain. Chinese medicine has a unique view of the whole person as an energetic network of interconnecting channels and organs, so it is increasingly being recognised as one of the great resources for promoting wellbeing and treating disease.

What to expect during a treatment
An Urban Body Balance (UBB) practitioner combines traditional oriental medicine with Western researched techniques, working gently with the body, unlike other medical techniques which may force the body to make a correction.

Oriental & Western medicine combined
While conventional medicine is preferred in the treatment of trauma and emergencies, practitioners at the clinic use a multidisciplinary approach excelling in the diagnosis & treatment of the many integrated systems of the body. By understanding the complicated balance of these systems we acheive a fast and in-depth return to health & wellbeing.
