MEET YOUR PRACTITIONER
Meet Ihor Kliuchnikov — Practitioner of Eastern Medicine and Qigong
My name is Ihor Kliuchnikov, and for many years, I have dedicated my life to the study and practice of Eastern medicine, qigong, and the natural restoration of the body’s energy flow.
At The Avenue Acupuncture Clinic in Worcester, I combine traditional Eastern techniques with a mindful, holistic approach to help each person reconnect with their inner balance, vitality, and sense of harmony.
Drawing on a deep understanding of the body’s energetic systems, my work focuses on addressing the root causes of imbalance rather than simply managing symptoms. Each treatment is guided by careful listening, professional assessment, and respect for the individual’s physical, emotional, and energetic well-being.
I believe that true healing occurs when the body is supported as a whole. By integrating acupuncture, acupressure, qigong principles, and therapeutic bodywork, I aim to create personalised treatments that support long-term health, resilience, and natural self-healing.
Whether you are seeking relief from pain, support with stress, or a deeper connection to your overall well-being, my goal is to provide calm, attentive, and effective care in a safe and professional environment.
My professional journey began with years of dedicated study and practical training in traditional Eastern medicine, therapeutic techniques, and holistic wellbeing. Through specialist education and clinical experience, I have developed a thoughtful, personalised approach to providing safe and effective care.
I believe that health is the result of harmony — when body, mind, and energy move in balance.
Each session is not only a treatment but a process of listening: listening to the body, to the breath, and to the energy that connects all living things.
My goal is to help every person who comes to me awaken their body’s self-healing potential, regain vitality, and rediscover joy in daily life.
Through a calm, attentive, and respectful approach, I create space for the body to release tension, restore balance, and respond naturally to therapeutic support. Every treatment is guided by intention, experience, and an understanding that true wellbeing is a journey — one that unfolds gently with patience, care, and trust.
HOW I PRACTISE
Over the years, I have developed a personalised approach that combines the principles of traditional Eastern medicine with a modern understanding of anatomy and wellbeing. Alongside acupuncture, acupressure and therapeutic bodywork, I also incorporate meditation and qigong practices to restore balance and support the body’s natural healing.
Every treatment is tailored to your individual needs, helping to relieve discomfort, reduce stress and promote long-term health and wellbeing.

I didn’t know much about it before, but he explained everything clearly and made me feel comfortable. The warmth was lovely and I felt very relaxed after the session. HHHighly recommend:)Posted on Google Anna BritonTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I booked a deep tissue massage with Ihor and it was exactly what I needed. I had tight muscles from work and training, and he really worked on the areas that needed attention. It was strong but not too much, and I felt a big difference the next day. Very professional and friendly. I'll be back.Posted on Google Lisa EvansTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had a really good experience with Ihor. I came in with a lot of tension in my shoulders and neck and felt much lighter afterwards. He takes his time, listens properly and explains what he is doing. The acupuncture was much more relaxing than I expected. Lovely calm clinic as well. Would definitely recommend.Posted on Google Elizabeth PakTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I came for an appointment last week and was mentally prepared for acupuncture. I also expected that I might need several visits to the clinic. Igor gave me a very deep muscle massage on my back and shoulders and said that one session would be enough. He didn’t use any needles, just massage. The pain had gone by the next day. After the treatment, I slept like a baby and woke up full of energy. I will definitely come back to him in the autumn, even if I don’t have a particular reason to.Posted on Google DanyloTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had several apointments with Igor. He has many years of experience and always explains what he's doing and what will happen to the body thanks to acupuncture. I feel much much better now. I think I'll visit Igor from time to time. By the way, when I first came to him, he told me all my problems himself, and I was really surprised. During the last treatment, he said I shouldn't come back for the next six months. Everything is fixed 😁 Highly recommend👍Posted on Google Wiktoria BalynskaTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Before the appointment, I had done some research on Chinese medicine online. Many people say that you need a course of 5–10 treatments, but Igor told me I only needed one session. He solved my problem in just one hour using acupuncture needles and moxa. It was very interesting and completely painless. I highly recommend him. Igor is very knowledgeable about Chinese medicine and has been practising for many years.Posted on Google Jane PitkeathlyTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I went for my first acupuncture appointment in the hope that I could get help with tight adductor muscles. Ihor explained everything he did and how acupuncture works. I left feeling better and calmer. The tight muscles do seem to be much improved too. Would highly recommend Ihor and will be returning.Posted on Google Fiona MarrowTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Quick easy booking system, free parking, clean and modern clinic, professional and thoughtful practitioner. I was very tense and stressed coming in, I left floating on a cloud. Wonderful nights sleep, would certainly recommendPosted on Google Darren GregoryTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I visited hear for the first time in December. Ihor was very welcoming and attentive. I had very relaxing massage followed by Moxa treatment. I came out of there feeling like a different person and certainly have a spring in my step. I have been 3 or 4 times since and have also had acupuncture. Again, very relaxing and Ihor explains the different pressure points and how it benefits certain parts of body and organs. Great value for money and I can't fault the service I get. I shall continue to come here once a month as I feel it has made a difference after battling 6 years of chronic pain.Posted on Google Jennifer DowseTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had a wonderful experience at this practice. Ihor’s reflexology treatment was exceptional and highly professional. It effectively relieved my headache and left me feeling deeply relaxed. I slept better than I have in a long time—I will certainly be returning.Load more
