Metta Medicine – Traditional Chinese Medicine & Integrative Bodywork

Chinese medicine clinic Cascais residents can visit for an integrative approach to natural medicine at Metta Medicine in São Domingos de Rana. The clinic combines traditional Chinese medicine with integrative bodywork and manual therapy, with care centred on listening carefully to each person’s story and the ways their body communicates.

Consultations consider factors such as pulse, tongue, movement, posture, shape and colour before a treatment approach is chosen. Metta Medicine views pain and chronic illness in the context of the whole person, including body, mind, emotions, relationships, work, sleep, movement and nutrition.

The team offers acupuncture, herbal medicine, integrative bodywork and manual therapy, which may be selected individually or combined. Support is available for acute and chronic pain, fatigue and burnout, digestive health, sleep and insomnia, women’s health, emotional health, headaches, and pre- and postnatal care.

Qilian Shang is a traditional Chinese lineage acupuncturist with over 17 years of clinical experience, while Alexander Ahamer works across Chinese medicine, manual therapy and rehabilitation. Metta Medicine offers individual treatment, as well as family and shared-care options, with an emphasis on exploring choices alongside each patient.
