This is an add-on to our standard Physiotherapy treatment sessions.  Acupuncture is used to predominantly reduce pain, muscle spasm, improve sleep, reduce stress/anxiety and improve circulation and healing.

 

There are 3 forms of acupuncture that could be used:

 

Eastern Perspective: Utilising meridian pathways throughout the body to achieve system balance, increasing circulation, energy flow, pain relief and deep relaxation.

 

Western Perspective:  Treatment approaches considering our modern biomedical understanding of anatomy, physiology and biochemistry.

 

Trigger Point and Myofascial Pain: Caused by new or old injuries, improper or over-training, incorrect posture or body mechanics, or just life. Acupuncture returns the natural balance to your muscles.
