 <\/p>\n

I’m Tony Todd, \u00a0I have been practising acupuncture and moxibustion since 2000 and currently have clinics in central and south Croydon.<\/p>\n

I also practises Chinese herbal medicine, shiatsu, and lecture at the International College of Oriental medicine.<\/p>\n

\"\"I began practising acupuncture following completion of a 4 year course at the\u00a0International College of Oriental Medicine<\/a>\u00a0(ICOM) in 2000.<\/p>\n

Prior to which I had trained in\u00a0shiatsu<\/a>, joining the register of shiatsu practitioners in 1993 and undertaking further studies in tuina (Chinese massage) and acupuncture in Shanghai, China during 1993 and 1994.<\/p>\n

Since graduating from ICOM in 2000 I have continued to study with leading teachers in the UK, Europe and Japan.<\/p>\n

This has included training in Manaka style acupuncture as well as Japanese meridian therapy and Korean Hand Acupuncture. In 2003 I became a member of the European Branch of the\u00a0Toyohari<\/a>\u00a0association. In 2005 undertook training in\u00a0Kanpo<\/a>\u00a0(Japanese herbalism), followed by further studies in Chinese Herbal medicine, specialising in Shanghan Lun and Jin Gui Yao Lue with\u00a0Arnaud Versluys<\/a>\u00a0and the Institute of Classics and East Asian Medicine [for whom I also teach]. In 2013-4 I completed studies in Internal and External acupuncture with Andrew Nugent-Head and the Association of Traditional Studies .<\/p>\n

I am a part time lecturer and module co-ordinator at the International College of Oriental Medicine, East Grinstead, East Sussex. \u00a0My working practice is influenced by a wide range of traditions that I have come into contact with, though my preference is in Japanese style channel based acupuncture, and Shanghan based herbal formulas. I also practise and teach chi gong and taichi.<\/p>\n
