About Rory Davis
Registered Acupuncturist Rory Davis
Clinical experience, a teaching background and a practical approach to understanding your symptoms and goals.
Clinical experience with a practical focus
Rory has practised acupuncture since 2009, working in private practice and integrated clinical settings. That experience informs an approach that starts with listening: what has brought you in, what you have already tried and what you want to do more comfortably.
His clinical interests include back and neck pain, movement concerns, headache and migraine, chronic pain and women's health, as well as symptoms that overlap with stress and sleep. The discussion is about your particular concern and whether acupuncture has a useful role alongside your existing care.
Rory draws on traditional acupuncture knowledge alongside contemporary, evidence-aware clinical reasoning. He prefers to explain the options, be clear about uncertainty and review what treatment is actually doing for you.

A background in teaching and clinical supervision
Rory previously taught acupuncture and supervised student clinical work at Endeavour College of Natural Health. Teaching asks for clear explanations, attention to reasoning and a willingness to revisit an assumption; those habits are relevant in an appointment too.
His postgraduate education includes both acupuncture and higher education learning and teaching. He has also co-authored a published acupuncture case study. A case report is part of a professional background, not evidence that the same outcome can be expected for another patient.
Rory's experience teaching Qigong informs simple movement guidance, which may draw on Ba Duan Jin (Eight Brocades). Where appropriate, these practices can support self-management between appointments, alongside any prescribed rehabilitation.

Working alongside your wider care
Rory's experience in integrated settings supports an interest in collaboration with GPs, physiotherapists and other practitioners where appropriate. Different practitioners may have different roles; the aim is coordinated care rather than competing explanations.
With your consent, relevant information can be shared to support that conversation. Medical assessment, rehabilitation and prescribed treatment remain important when needed.
The plan is individualised and reviewed. You should understand what is proposed, why it is being considered and when to change or finish it.
