Advice and Education
Acupuncture
Acupuncture is one of the many skills used within physiotherapy for the management of pain and inflammation. Acupuncture stimulates the bodys’ own healing chemicals, enhancing the repair mechanism and improving recovery time. This allows other physiotherapy treatments such as exercise, muscle strengthening and rehabilitation to achieve more effective results.
