Rob Reilly is a registered Acupuncturist with AHPRA (Australia’s Health

Practitioners Regulatory Agency) and is a full member of AACMA, Australia’s

leading Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine Association. In 2010 Rob

completed a Bachelor of Health Science (Acupuncture) which entailed an

internship at Guangxi’s Medical University Hospital in Nanning China.

The underlying model of Acupuncture therapy allows the practitioner to look at

key patterns that may present as pressure pain in the belly, irregular pulse

patterns, changes in tongue colour and coating, and pressure pain in areas

throughout extremities. These patterns will generally coexist with the current

issue and symptoms the patient is experiencing.

My approach to the Acupuncture treatment involves further palpation of the

body, checking specific points and areas for pressure pain, flaccidity and or

changes in temperature and skin texture to confirm the diagnosis. I will then draw

on a number of techniques, the use of fine needles, the burning of moxa (heat therapy) and or

cupping and massage to bring balance.

The benefit and positive outcomes from Acupuncture have generally been

shown to be because of vasodilative changes in blood flow due to biochemical

changes within the blood, such as the release of endorphins and immune cells,

which down regulates inflammation and brings calm to the musculature and

nervous system. This makes Acupuncture a clinically viable treatment option

that is both safe and drug free.

My clinical interests include helping women and couples with issues

surrounding fertility, supporting Pregnancy, and managing pain and stress. With

over 15 years of clinical experience, I welcome you to the clinic to assess

you with your health goals, each treatment is tailored and unique to your needs

ensuring the best clinical outcomes.
