Acupuncture is an ancient system of traditional chinese medicine, using the bodies energy channels ‘meridians’ as treatment points. Needles are used at points along these meridians to rebalance energy sytsems.
How is acupuncture done?
Acupuncture is administered by chartered physiotherapists trained in acupuncture using sterile disposable needles, inserted into known acupuncture points and left in situ for up to 30 minutes. Acupuncture will be used in conjunction with other physiotherapy modalities as appropriate.
All clients undergoing acupuncture will be asked their consent before use and will be given a consent form to sign prior to treatment.
