What We Do at Kite Clinic is Different: Johnny's Integral Role in the Approach
At Kite Clinic, Johnny Childs plays a central role in helping patients achieve optimal health through the practice of Five-Element Acupuncture. As a highly skilled practitioner and a key member of the clinic’s team, Johnny brings a deep understanding of this transformative modality, combining his expertise with the clinic's commitment to personalised, results-driven care. What sets Kite Clinic apart from other acupuncture practices is our unique approach—an approach that has made us one of the most talked-about clinics in the UK. Central to this distinction is our use of Five-Element Acupuncture, a style that recognizes the body’s inherent ability to self-heal and return to balance. Johnny’s role is to help patients activate and support this natural healing process, guiding them toward long-term wellness. Five-Element Acupuncture takes a different perspective on symptoms than other approaches. Rather than treating symptoms as isolated issues to be suppressed, we view them as important signals—alarm bells that indicate deeper imbalances within the body. Johnny's expertise lies in interpreting these signs and using them to understand the root causes of health concerns. At Kite Clinic, we don’t treat symptoms in isolation—we treat the whole person. Our holistic approach is tailored to the unique needs of each individual, ensuring that treatment goes beyond temporary relief and addresses the fundamental factors that contribute to lasting health. This personalised, in-depth care is the key to the exceptional results we’re known for and is at the heart of everything Johnny and our team do.

FIVE ELEMENT ACUPUNCTURE
Five-Element Acupuncture originated in China well over 2000 years ago, and has been passed down from Master to Student both through the study of texts and oral teaching. An unbroken lineage has maintained the transmission of an astounding body of knowledge of health, illness and the human condition.
DIAGNOSIS & TREATMENT
Diagnosis involves looking at a patient’s constitutional and emotional make-up; their strengths and weaknesses. The actual treatment plan will then be based around each individual’s needs. The treatment journey takes the patient from pathology to good health and through to accessing their full potential.
