Acupuncture therapy, particularly effective for treating pain conditions, often provides immediate pain relief in some cases, especially when techniques like Fu's Subcutaneous Needling are utilized.
Fu’s Subcutaneous Needling (FSN), also known as Floating Acupuncture (FA), is an innovative acupuncture therapy developed by Chinese medical doctor Dr. Zhong-hua Fu in 1996. This unique acupuncture technique utilizes a modified acupuncture needle to stimulate specific areas where trigger points or taut muscles exist, effectively addressing musculoskeletal conditions and various other ailments.
Traditional acupuncture techniques generally involve inserting needles deeper into the skin, subcutaneous, and muscular tissues to stimulate the points. In contrast, FSN only penetrates the subcutaneous layer, providing a gentler approach. This results in less pain and minimal sensation for patients while still delivering remarkable pain relief. For acute pain conditions such as muscular and ligament strains, tennis elbow, or acute back pain, FSN can yield almost instantaneous pain-relieving effects.
Is It Safe?
Absolutely!
Unlike traditional acupuncture, FSN employs shallow needle insertion—just 0.2mm beneath the skin—making it an exceptionally safe and minimally invasive acupuncture therapy.

• Fu’s Subcutaneous Needling Association of Europe (FSNAE)
• The Acupuncture Regulatory Authority (ARA)
FSN, also known as Fu's Subcutaneous Needling, is particularly effective for musculoskeletal (MSK) and soft tissue conditions, providing fast and often instant pain relief. This acupuncture therapy also assists in managing some internal and mental health conditions, depending on their root causes.
However, there are conditions for which FSN may not be effective.
Examples of FSN Applications
Effective: FSN works well for weak bladders caused by pelvic floor muscle issues.
Not Effective: FSN is generally not effective for neurological conditions, such as dementia-related incontinence.

Tui Na Massage (pronounced twee-nah) is a traditional Chinese therapeutic massage that employs techniques like kneading, pressing, rolling, and stretching to stimulate the body’s energy flow (Qi) and enhance circulation.

Tui Na Massage (pronounced twee-nah) is a traditional Chinese therapeutic massage that employs techniques like kneading, pressing, rolling, and stretching to stimulate the body’s energy flow (Qi) and enhance circulation. It is frequently used for pain relief, targeting muscle tension, joint pain, stress, and certain internal conditions. Unlike a relaxing spa massage, Tui Na is focused on addressing specific health issues and restoring balance within the body. It bears some similarities to osteopathic or deep tissue massage. If you're experiencing mild to moderate pain and aren’t quite ready for acupuncture therapy or Fu's Subcutaneous Needling, Tui Na can be an excellent alternative to consider first.

Reflexology is a therapeutic foot massage that stimulates specific pressure points on the feet, corresponding to various organs and systems in the body. Similar to acupuncture therapy, it promotes healing by enhancing energy flow. The benefits include improved circulation, reduced stress, better sleep, and overall relaxation, much like the effects of Fu's Subcutaneous Needling, which is known for its effective pain relief. During the session, clients simply lie back and relax while I apply firm pressure to targeted areas on the feet, shin, and calf.

Gua Sha (pronounced gwah-shah) is a traditional Chinese healing technique that involves gently scraping the skin with a smooth-edged tool, usually made of jade or stone. This practice helps stimulate circulation, release muscle tension, reduce inflammation, and promote the body’s natural healing. It's commonly used for neck and shoulder pain, headaches, tension, colds, and to boost overall wellness. The treatment may leave temporary red or purple marks (called “sha”), which are a normal sign of improved blood flow and typically fade within a few days. Gua Sha can be applied on the body or face, depending on the condition. In China, many women use facial Gua Sha to help reduce puffiness, especially before their period or after consuming salty food. Personally, I like to do Gua Sha before important events to help my face feel refreshed and de-puffed. If you're experiencing mild to moderate pain but aren’t quite ready for acupuncture therapy, options like Tui Na massage, cupping, or Gua Sha therapy can be excellent alternatives to consider. Additionally, for those seeking deeper pain relief, Fu's Subcutaneous Needling can provide effective results.
Cupping therapy is a traditional healing method used in Chinese medicine, where special cups are placed on the skin to create suction. This suction helps increase blood flow, reduce muscle tension, relieve pain, and support the body’s natural healing process.

Cupping therapy is a traditional healing method used in Chinese medicine, where special cups are placed on the skin to create suction. This suction helps increase blood flow, reduce muscle tension, relieve pain, and support the body’s natural healing process. Cupping often leaves temporary circular marks, which are a normal sign of improved circulation in the treated area. It’s commonly used for back pain, tight muscles, stress, colds, and more. If you're experiencing mild to moderate pain but aren’t quite ready for acupuncture therapy, Tui Na massage, cupping, or Gua Sha therapy can be great alternatives to try first. For those seeking additional options, Fu's Subcutaneous Needling may also provide effective pain relief.

Lulu Dai
Ms. Lulu Dai studied the English language as her undergraduate in China. After graduation, instead of becoming a teacher as her parents wished, she took a job and later became the director of an education training company in Xiamen, China. Due to extensive working pressure, she suffered from insomnia, stress, and depression. Initially, she was treated with western medicine but found that the pills had adverse side effects and did not improve her condition. She was then referred to a local Chinese medical doctor, whose treatment dramatically improved her situation. This experience sparked her interest in traditional Chinese medicine, including acupuncture therapy.
In 2013, she enrolled in a three-month Chinese medicine tasting course offered by the Traditional Chinese Medicine College of Xiamen Medical University and later completed a three-year program there. In 2014, she moved to the UK with her family and began practicing acupuncture, tui na massage, and pain relief therapies in Peterborough.
She further enhanced her skills by learning Fu's Subcutaneous Needling (FSN) acupuncture technique at the Cambridge Chinese Medicine Clinic and started working in Cambridge from June 2023, after previously working at the Yaxley clinic since 2020.
Lulu is a registered practitioner of the Association of Traditional Chinese Medicine and Acupuncture UK and is also a member of FSNAE. She specializes in acupuncture for pain relief and is experienced in treating sports injuries, spine and joint pain, upper and lower back pain, and shoulder and neck stiffness. Lulu has successfully assisted clients with rheumatic and arthritic conditions, digestive disorders (IBS, IBD), depression, anxiety, fibromyalgia, rhinitis, migraine, Bell's palsy, fatigue syndrome, eczema, acne, sciatica, and insomnia.
