ABOUT BEN ELLIOT ACUPUNCTURE & REMEDIAL SPORTS MASSAGE YORK
​
Ben studied a Masters degree in Acupuncture at The Northern College of Acupuncture, graduating in 2012. Whilst studying Acupuncture he also completed a diploma in Remedial Sports Massage, developing a specialism in musculo-skeletal and painful conditions. He began his practice at York Clinic for Integrated Healthcare in 2011 where he worked for over 11 years before moving to his own customised space within Excel Sports Clinic in 2022.
​​​
Outside of his private Acupuncture and massage practice in York, Ben works at Phoenix Health and Wellbeing in Leeds city centre providing subsidised acupuncture treatments in a multibed setting for NHS referred patients.
​
Aside from seeing patients Ben also spent 12 years teaching at the Nothern College of Acupuncture and led the Bodywork & Clinical Practice modules on the Acupuncture degree course, teaching students the methods and theory of using hands-on techniques and acupuncture in combination. He also spent 5 years working at St. James Hospital treating patients for the side-effects of cancer treatment, and worked at York University Health Science Department with papers published in the subject of neck pain and depression.
Ben's treatments combine Western anatomy and physiology theory with traditional Chinese medicine theory and practice to create an integrated approach using a variety of different treatment options and methods. While this approach lends itself particularly well to painful conditions, he also treats a variety of other issues from migraine to anxiety and depression.
