Acupuncture is a traditional practice that involves inserting thin needles into specific points on the body to support the body’s natural balance and promote healing. At Mary Physiotherapy, acupuncture is performed by a registered Physiotherapist trained specifically in acupuncture which is based on traditional Chinese medicine principles, distinct from the physiotherapy-based dry needling and IMS treatments also offered at our clinic.
While acupuncture, dry needling, and IMS all use thin needles, they come from different training backgrounds and different approaches to treatment. Your practitioner can help you decide which is the right fit for your specific concern.
Every acupuncture session at Mary Physiotherapy, is built on a real assessment of your health history, concerns, and goals, with point selection guided by traditional Chinese medicine principles rather than a generic template applied to everyone who walks in.
