What Is Physiotherapy-Led Acupuncture?
Acupuncture is one of the many techniques we use to manage pain, support healing, and reduce inflammation. Our approach is rooted in modern science, not alternative medicine, and is based on clinical evidence showing that acupuncture can stimulate the brain and spinal cord to produce natural pain-relieving chemicals like:
- Endorphins – the body’s natural painkillers
- Melatonin – regulates sleep and supports recovery
- Serotonin – improves mood and reduces sensitivity to pain
Our Acupuncture Techniques
We offer several evidence-based acupuncture methods depending on your condition and response to treatment:
Maintenance Massage
Your physiotherapist will assess your symptoms and place needles at specific points to relieve pain, restore balance, and promote healing. This technique is often used for both acute and chronic conditions.
Trigger Point Acupuncture
Targeted at tight or painful muscles, this method helps relieve knots (myofascial trigger points), improve muscle length, and support rehabilitation. Often used following injury or for longer-term unresolved muscle pain.
Acupressure
If you’re uncomfortable with needles, we can use acupressure techniques. This involves applying manual pressure to acupuncture points to relieve tension, restore movement, and support relaxation.
