November 26th: Treatment offers with Lily and Karen

2011-11-26T12:38:46Z

We're pleased to announce that all acupuncture patients can now enjoy 50% off a Thai Herbal Compress Massage treatment with Lucinda after receiving 5 treatments with either one of us.

During this deeply relaxing treatment, a hot compress containing herbs such as kaffir lime, lemongrass and camphor is used to release muscle pain and stiffness, to nourish the skin and to reduce inflammation. The active properties and aroma of the herbs are released in the steaming process and enables these properties to penetrate the tissues to give a tremendously soothing treatment.

Just remember to ask us for a treatments card and to make sure we stamp it for you at each visit!

For further details about this and other equally relaxing treatments, please visit Lucinda's website by clicking here.

July 12th: Revive Charity Open Evening: Thank you for your support!

2011-07-12T15:21:52Z

Thank you to everyone who came along to support us at yesterday's Charity Open Evening which we held in aid of the Hospice of St Francis. The Hospice of St Francis is an in-patient unit based in Berkhamsted who provides care for those in the local area suffering from serious, and sometimes terminal, illness and we felt this was a worthwhile cause to be supporting for our Open Evening.

We offered taster sessions and consultations in a range of treatments that we provide here at the Revive clinic including acupuncture, acupressure, cupping, pilates, sports massage and osteopathy. Even the weather held out for the Pilates in the Garden sessions so it was obviously meant to be!

Thanks to all who were able to join us for their help in supporting such a charitable cause, and also to the members of the Revive team for donating their time. It wouldn't have been possible without you!

For more information about the Hospice of St Francis, please visit their website by clicking here.

If you'd like to receive updates about future Open Evening events, please email us using the Contact page and we will add you to our mailing list!

June 24th: Lily's Upcoming Availability

2011-06-24T10:33:02Z

Due to upcoming wedding celebrations, Lily will be unavailable to respond to queries by telephone or email until July 5th. She apologises for any inconvenience this may cause you and would like to reassure you that a record is being kept of all queries made by telephone and email, and that she will be able to get back to you by the end of the day on July 5th.

Thank you in the meantime for your patience and your understanding!

June 5th: Advance notice of roadworks on London Road, Apsley

2011-06-05T03:38:23Z

Roadworks are being carried out from 9am Tuesday 7th June to 6am Thursday 9th June inclusive along Apsley's London Road which will result in part-road closures. You may therefore experience some delay to your journey if you are travelling to the clinic during these days and times. There will still be access to parking as usual in the local area but it is possible that there will be an increased demand for parking spaces during these road closures.

Revive will remain completely accessible throughout this period of time and will be open to patients and practitioners as usual.

Thanks in the meantime for your patience!
