Two-Week TCM Rehabilitation Programme
Hospital-based integrative recovery
The strongest TCM programmes are hospital-based and integrated: a stroke rehabilitation ward that combines conventional physiotherapy with acupuncture, or a pain clinic that uses both interventional techniques and herbal medicine. Those are the programmes we refer to.
Typical candidates are patients recovering from stroke or orthopedic surgery, people with chronic musculoskeletal pain, and patients managing conditions where conventional options have plateaued. The programme is supportive and rehabilitative — it is not a treatment for cancer, and we will not present it as one.
A two-week programme is a reasonable trial. We ask the department to set measurable goals at intake — pain score, range of motion, walking distance — and to report against them at discharge, so you leave with an assessment rather than an impression.

Questions
Practical answers.
Something not covered? Email [email protected] and a coordinator will reply directly.
Is this a replacement for conventional treatment?
No. We only arrange TCM as an adjunct to conventional care. If a clinic offers to treat a serious condition with herbs alone, that is a reason to walk away.
Are the herbs safe with my current medication?
That needs checking, not assuming. We provide your medication list to the TCM physician and ask for a written interaction review before the prescription starts.
How do I know if it worked?
We ask for baseline and discharge measurements — pain scores, mobility, function — so the result is documented rather than subjective.
