Acupuncture in Physiotherapy

Specialist physiotherapists use acupuncture to manage pain, reduce inflammation, and stimulate the body’s natural healing processes to support recovery and rehabilitation.

Rooted in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) dating back over 3,000 years, acupuncture targets specific points along the body’s energy pathways (qi) to restore balance and promote health. Modern Western medical acupuncture applies this concept using evidence-based clinical practice.

By understanding your medical history, our therapists create personalised treatment plans to address the root cause of imbalance and support your body’s innate ability to self-repair. Acupuncture can be used alongside other physiotherapy treatments such as exercise and conditioning to enhance results.

All our therapists are trained to the Acupuncture Association of Chartered Physiotherapists (AACP) standards and regularly update their skills through additional training.
