Dr Yangui Guo – MD MCMIR

Personal Statement

My path into medicine was shaped by my family.

After my father passed away from esophageal cancer, I watched my mother shoulder every responsibility for our family alone. Witnessing that struggle firsthand taught me that illness doesn’t just affect a patient—it affects everyone who loves them.

My mother turned her grief into strength, encouraging me to pursue a medical education so that I could help others in need. I have come to realise that being a practitioner is far more than a profession; it is a mission and a deep responsibility.

I carry my mother’s words with me every day, dedicating myself wholeheartedly to relieving the suffering of those who walk through our doors.

Dr. Guo

Qualifications

Dr Guo’s medical journey began at the Gansu Health Vocational College in northwest China, where he completed a three-year nursing course in 1993. He furthered his expertise by graduating with a degree in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) from the Ningxia Medical College in 1999.

Experience

Beginning his career in 1993, Dr Guo served as a practitioner at a Lanzhou health centre for four years, focusing on general practice and newborn screening. Following his TCM degree, he purposefully chose to work in local clinics, seeking a closer connection with his patients. This allowed him to develop a profound, practical understanding of complex pain conditions and the wider impact they have on a patient’s quality of life.

In 2000, he founded his own school of acupuncture and massage in Lanzhou. Driven by the belief that we should not fear illness, but rather the lack of knowledge on how to prevent it, he dedicated years to teaching preventative medicine and self-care—a project that earned strong support from the local government and saw many successful graduates.

Clinical Specialties

Dr Guo is a master of Medical Tuina (Chinese Massage) and Traditional Foot Massage. He is renowned for his ability to translate ancient manual techniques into modern pain relief, whether the issue is a sudden musculoskeletal injury or chronic aches rooted in daily stress.

He offers expert relief for:

• Musculoskeletal Health: Specialised care for neck and shoulder tension, lower back pain, sciatica, tennis elbow, and knee injuries.
• Lower Limb & Extremities: Targeted treatment for heel and foot pain, leg cramps, and numbness in the hands.
• Tension & Stress: Relieving headaches and the physical toll of a high-pressure lifestyle.

By combining his reflexology expertise with specific acupoint stimulation, Dr Guo helps the body achieve natural detoxification and balance. He integrates acupuncture and herbal medicine as part of a comprehensive multi-therapy approach to ensure relief is both simple and lasting.

Experience of Working in the UK

Dr Guo has been dedicated to helping UK patients since 2005, bringing his expertise to Birmingham and Manchester before making London his home:

“I thrive in the energy of our London clinic. It allows me to connect with and help a diverse range of people. At AcuMedic, we provide a complete healing environment—from our specialised treatment rooms to the quiet moment of reflection at our tea bar, where patients can enjoy a cup of Amachazuru herbal tea after their session.”

More About Dr Guo

I am well aware that when one member of a family is ill, the entire family cannot find peace. By addressing a patient’s pain, I believe I am helping their entire support system.

Throughout my career, I have worked not just to soothe symptoms, but to help patients understand the ‘why’ behind their pain. I am committed to identifying the root cause to ensure long-term wellbeing.

In my free time, I find my own balance through Qi Gong, meditation, and traditional Chinese culture.
