Backwell Acupuncture
I can now confirm I will remain open for medical acupuncture and remedial massage in central Backwell, for “high need and urgent treatments” as per BAcC (British Acupuncture Council) and government guidelines. The practice room has been converted to be covid secure, and treatments are spaced to allow for cleaning in between appointments. If you are having trouble with pain for example, but also stress, you can contact me, Eleanor Day, on 07958951030
​
Chair Yoga
This is a twice-monthly session on 1st and 3rd Tuesdays from 11.00 to 12.00 at The Meeting Point. The last two have been via Zoom, but we’re hoping they will return to the Parish Hall soon. Anyone interested can contact The Meeting Point via backwell.life@gmail.com or contact Nina direct at https://sittingfityoga.com
