My Story
James Suen comes from a family of notable Chinese medicine practitioners in Hong Kong, in which the practice of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) has passed from generation to generation for over one hundred years. He holds a degree in Chinese Medicine from Guangzhou University of Chinese Medicine(GZUCM) , which is one of the top ranking medical schools in the country and has produced some of the finest TCM graduates in the world. During his training, he studied tirelessly under the guidance of famous teachers and professors in order to achieve at the highest level. James’ passion for medical technology prompted him to take up an additional internship in the oncology department of the university where he had the opportunity to treat patients that were critically ill.Prior to relocating to Bath, James was a distinguished TCM practitioner in Hong Kong with more than 10 years experience and he has administered over 100,000 treatments. He excels in orthopaedic conditions, the improvement of blood and meridian circulation, and muscle and bone alignment. He also specialises in acupuncture, delving into the area of beauty with acupuncture. He is a strong advocate of Chinese medical practice.

Treatments

Nano-Acupuncture

The needles we use for our treatments are specially made in order to cause less damage to the skin of the patient. A thinner needle also helps the acupuncturist to feel and direct the Chi in the patient’s body. The use of extra fine needles requires a more refined set of skills compared to those for general acupuncture. This makes Nano-Acupuncture more accurate and effective.

Bone Setting

Bone setting is one of the five branches of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) and is considered to be the basis for the development of modern chiropractic and osteopathic treatment. Traditional bone setting is a holistic process to address the balance of the skeleton, muscles and joints, in order to relieve pain. Before the advent of chiropractors, osteopaths, and physical therapists, bonesetters were the main providers of this type of treatment. Bone setting refers to the manipulation or “setting” of fractured bones, ruptured sinews and muscles in order to alleviate an injury. A Chinese Medicine practitioner will treat bone fractures, concussions, sprains and joint dislocations through pulling, repositioning and aligning, avoiding any invasive procedures. The objective is to maintain the wholeness of the body. Body pain can be caused by incorrectly stressed, overextended or blocked areas such as those of the spine or joints and related glands. For pains such as back-pain, sprains or concussions, Chinese Medicine considers bone setting to be more effective than light exercise or physiotherapy.

Cupping and Massage

Traditional Chinese medicinal practice and Tui Na therapy involves the healing art of touch with scientific manipulation of the soft tissue structures of the body for the purpose of releasing the existing tension, returning them to natural alignment and contributing to a sense of general well-being. This is a form of therapy in which the practitioner applies manual techniques, and other therapies, with the intention of positively affecting the health and well-being of the client and consists of manual techniques that include applying fixed or movable pressure, holding, and/or causing movement of or to the body and/or applying pressure to the body. Benefits include: Improvement to the circulation of blood, metabolism and functioning of the lymph glands Expelling waste products from the cells Easing pain from an injury Cleansing tissues to shorten recuperation time Greater flexibility and range of movement, and an increase of the ease and efficiency of joints Improvement in posture Promotion of deeper and easier breathing Enhancement in the health and nourishment of skin Reduction of stress Reduction in levels of anxiety A feeling of well-being An increased awareness of the mind-body connection.

Cosmetic acupuncture

Balance Yin and Yang: Everything can be divided into Yin and Yang, and the human body also works based on this principle. When Yin and Yang become imbalanced, sickness may be the result. Therefore, if the facial bones are out of balance, and are asymmetrical, this can be addressed through the processes of cosmetic acupuncture. Some facial issues may be the result of poor circulation. This can also be treated. Using the acupuncture needle as a medium, unblocking the inner energy within the facial tissues nourishes the affected area, gets rid of waste or toxic substances, and so skin will look fresher. As the inner energy is stimulated within the facial muscles, they will be uplifted.

Testimonials

 BACK AND WRIST PAIN I've been having trouble with my shoulders for almost 10 years and have seen lots of different doctors. This time I started to have problems with my back and wrist as well because of taking care of my new baby and came across to this TCM centre so I thought ok maybe I should give it a try. Well. The results blow me away! I can feel the difference after the acupuncture right away. And it really helps with all the pain issues l've been having for awhile. Highly recommends this place if you want to try what is TCM. I am from Asia and TCM is not new to me. But this experience is much better than what I had before.

 FACE UPLIFTING AND LEG PAIN The best T.C.M ever, I have had many treatments both for pain and the natural facelift and can't recommend Dr James enough. I also brought my Mother who has suffered with leg pain for 22 years and was relieved even after one session. Dr James is kind and understanding of your needs highly recommend.

 CANCER I first saw James a year ago after being diagnosed with stage 3 triple negative breast cancer. I was extremely worried about my future as the cancer had spread to my lymph nodes. James didn’t sugar coat anything but was able to assure me he could help me which he did! James supported me and shrunk my cancers significantly and with the help of chemotherapy the pathology came back totally clear!!! I was so elated! The doctors were so pleased and shocked too as the cancer had totally spread across the breast. The final pathology showed there had been evidence from scar tissue and that there had been cancer but it had totally disappeared by the end of treatment. Continued treatment with James throughout my chemotherapy, before and after had helped me tremendously. James has been kind and honest the whole way along. Tailoring my treatment to me and seeing me as a whole person not just a physical being. I don’t believe I’d be in this position without him. I can never thank you enough or recommend James highly enough.

 ENERGY BALANCING Highly recommended. James is a highly skilled professional healer.

 TENNIS ELBOW AND TWISTED ANKLE I suffered from a tennis elbow for several years mainly due to renovating a house and using drills and hammers etc. This was agony and I had been to see several physiotherapists and chiropractors etc. This pain would be slightly improved but would always come back after a short period. I randomly came across James and I am am always up for giving anything a go as I have never used acupuncture or bone setting before and also James was very confident he could fix the issue. Unbelievable after I session of acupuncture he fixed my tennis elbow. 1 didn't need to go back to see him again until I twisted my ankle a few months later. 1 felt some discomfort whilst he worked on me however as soon as i stood up from his table my ankle was completely pain free. I would definitely recommend giving him a visit. I have tried lots of different therapies but the results I have had from James are just on another level compared to other people I have visited.

 LONG COVID AND WELL-BEING Having suffered from long Covid for several months, I felt desperate. James was recommended to me by a work colleague from Hong Kong, having seen her improvement from undergoing acupuncture and cupping treatment. Although I've had acupuncture previously, receiving treatment from someone who's family has generations of knowledge from Traditional Chinese Medicine and 10 years of studying - What a find! I cannot believe the difference after an hourly session with James, who concentrates on improving the energy flow around my body and releasing the tension from brain fog (two of my long Covid symptoms). This enabled me to return to work and concentrate on achieving required tasks. My third symptom is a bloated stomach, a real indicator of how low my energy is, but after acupuncture in this area with infra-red light, my stomach reduces within a few days. James includes bone setting within the treatment to help realign my body - I walk out of there feeling ten feet taller! As l've improved, James now does acupuncture on my face to help tighten the skin and reduce the lines that my partner notices without me telling him the reason why!! I cannot recommend James highly enough, you will benefit from his extremely professional, caring treatments that are bespoke to your needs

 LONG COVID AND ENERGY UNBALANCE James demonstrates unparalleled expertise in Acupuncture, Tui Na Massage and Bone Setting, which I had never heard of before. Within his Traditional Chinese Medicine practice, James integrates all three to amplify healing effects during (and after) treatment. As a patient with a complex medical history, I experienced some improvements immediately and some cumulatively over 4-5 months with a total of 14 visits. I was quite nervous trying something new, but James is a consummate professional, and made me feel heard, considered and cared for. At a time when Western doctors remain unable to diagnose a variety of new symptoms I have, some possibly related to Long Covid, James was willing to work with me on a plan of action (despite the unknown). Due to his TCM background he had a different perspective, and this ability to see on another level, contributed to healing on multiple layers.

 PROFESSIONAL AND CARING I have tried TCM in England and South East Asia for the last 20 years. James is by far the best and most professional TCM practitioner I have ever come across. Not only is he highly skilled and trustworthy, he also genuinely cares about his clients' welfare. I have a host of ailments and a delicate system. James has always gone above and beyond to make sure I was ok and getting better. Sometimes my body goes into shock with the needles and the treated areas can seize up. I found in the past that other practitioners did not care at all, they just wanted to be paid. When my body seized up with James he was so concerned and stayed with me for another hour and massaged the areas out until I could move again. On another occasion I caught some mysterious bug a few years ago, made my lymph nodes swell up, caused me to vomit and have cold sweats…..I was told by the doctor I probably had cancer and they wanted to cut my lymph nodes up. After one session with James the virus left my body and I was totally fine again. At the time I was so very sick, I literally felt like he had saved me. I also recommend his facial acupuncture and cream. James possesses such lovely energy, I am gutted to not be living near him anymore in order to receive weekly treatments. He was so kind and lovely that over time he became a close family friend. So if you're in, or around Bath, do take advantage of this wonderful human being's services.

 PAIN MANAGEMENT The pain lasted for several months, affecting the quality of sleep, and the pain improved immediately and significantly after treatment. Thank you James for your patient explanation and treatment. 痛咗幾個月好影響睡眠質素，經 James 治療後痛楚即時明顯改善，感謝 James 細心地講解及治療。

 PLANTAR FASCIITIS I'm still in complete disbelief. I've been suffering with plantar fasciitis for 4 months. It's been unbearable just to walk never mind playing Pickleball. I visited his clinic Monday and flew back to California Tuesday. I still have zero pain. He works miracles.

 HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE(HYPERTENSION) I saw James for treatment for my high blood pressure which has been fluctuating over a period of several months. I have had 6 sessions of acupuncture and it is now down to a normal level. James also did some bone setting as I had a lot of congestion and tension in my neck which contributed to the blood pressure problem. It was also causing me headaches, which have now ceased. I noticed the difference after the first session and since then my health has continued to improve. James is an experienced practitioner with a depth of knowledge that gave me a lot of confidence in his ability to make a difference to my wellbeing. He is conscientious and consistently went above and beyond to provide a high level of service. I feel so much better since having had the treatments. I would highly recommend James.

 DYSMENORRHEA AND FERTILITY 本身自己身體好差，每次黎M個肚都會超級痛，由其左邊特別痛。之前試過好多間針灸調理個d，但我感受五到有改善，經過介紹認識左James ，我就同James 講我既情況，我想調理身體，想懷孕再加上本人有寒背情況成日好容易影響呼吸加頸痛，James 好有耐性同我講返有關連，做完一次，當月黎m都五知，完全無痛，同正骨後即時成個人鬆曬，即刻呼吸暢順左，至於睇完James 好成功懷孕，真系覺得好開心能夠認識到甘好既醫師！ My health condition had never been good. I had suffered from serious period pain all the time, especially on my left-hand side. I've tried many different TCM treatments before, hoping to improve my health and become a mother, but all in vain. Not until I met Dr. James did he tell me that my suffering was due to my poor alignment, which could really affect my breathing, causing me neck pain and a hunchback. Dr. James is very professional and explained all the details to me with a lot of patience. After two sessions with him, I am totally pain-free and relieved from my suffering. Thanks to Dr. James, I am now the mother of my lovely baby.

 CANCER I contacted James early last year shortly after a breast cancer diagnosis. He has worked extensively with breast cancer patients in Hong Kong which makes his acupuncture practice very unique in the UK. I consider myself very fortunate to have found him. Up until surgery in September 2022, I received acupuncture treatments from James on a very regular basis. He was always very kind, considerate, helpful and encouraging. During this period of time the tumour in my breast reduced in size by 50% and, as a consequence, I was able to have less invasive surgery. James' knowledge and implementation of TCM has benefited me greatly on my healing journey. Lindsay
