Dylan Watson

Acupuncture, Chinese Medicine, Massage

Originally from Port Fairy in Victoria, Dylan moved north to continue studies in TCM & Acupuncture at the Australian College of Natural Medicine here in Brisbane. After intensively completing his Advanced Diploma of Acupuncture in 2007, he moved into full time work while finishing his degree in Acupuncture, Chinese Herbs & Chinese Remedial Massage at ACNM in 2008. During this time Dylan also furthered his knowledge through completing post graduate courses in the following areas: Certificate in Japanese Acupuncture – Manaka Protocols, Certificate in Japanese Acupuncture and Fertility, and Certificate in Constitutional Acupuncture Facial Renewal. Dylan has a specific interest and understanding in sports and musculo-skeletal injuries, stemming from his history in various sports. He also has an interest in fertility issues and women’s health, which responds very well with the style of acupuncture Dylan uses.

Personally, Dylan has a long history in sports such as AFL, golf, basketball, weight training, as well as stress and anxiety – thereby having the innate ability to advise on different treatment strategies, modalities and/or exercises that may need to be incorporated into the treatment, for maximal recovery to health in minimal time.

In the last two years, Dylan has teamed up with Brisbane based Osteopaths to enhance his knowledge of the musculo-skeletal system of the human body. This awareness of variable Osteopathic techniques gives Dylan the extra edge in treating muscular aches and pains such as back pain, neck and shoulder pain, sciatica, sporting injuries etc with acupuncture. Dylan also attends various acupuncture workshops to continuously update his knowledge on treatment techniques.Dylan also does a mixed style of massage, which is a combination of Chinese Remedial Massage (Tui Na) and Resistance Stretching (Sotai). If deemed necessary, this is often combined with acupuncture within the one treatment. Along side specialized treatment, tailor made for each patient, Dylan also combines his medical knowledge of the body with years of his own fitness training experience to suggest appropriate fitness and dietary plans which are designed to enhance the rate of recovery – and yes this does apply for those of you coming for weight loss.
