What Is Physiotherapy-Led Acupuncture?
Unlike traditional or alternative acupuncture, the acupuncture offered at Worsley Physio Clinic is grounded in clinical assessment and physiotherapy diagnosis.
Our physiotherapists use acupuncture as part of a wider treatment plan, based on:
Detailed assessment of your movement and symptoms
Understanding of joints, muscles and nerves
Evidence-based pain management principles
This ensures acupuncture is applied safely, appropriately and for the right clinical reasons.
Conditions We Commonly Treat With Acupuncture
Acupuncture can be effective for a wide range of conditions, including:
Back and neck pain
Shoulder pain and rotator cuff injuries
Sports injuries and muscle tightness
Joint pain and stiffness
Sciatica and nerve-related pain
Tendinopathy (Achilles, patellar, tennis elbow)
Headaches and tension-related pain
Chronic pain conditions
Treatment is always tailored to your individual presentation and goals.
Acupuncture as Part of Your Physiotherapy Treatment
At Worsley Physio Clinic, acupuncture is rarely used in isolation. It is often combined with:
Manual therapy
Exercise rehabilitation
Postural correction
Sports massage
Movement re-education
This integrated approach allows acupuncture to reduce pain and muscle guarding, making rehabilitation exercises more effective and helping you progress faster. At Worsley Physio Clinic, we take time to understand your individual needs and tailor each session accordingly. Our goal is to provide a comfortable and professional environment where acupuncture supports your journey towards long-term health and mobility.

Physiotherapy-Led Acupuncture
A remedy that is traditionally found in Chinese medicine with proven success in treating conditions such as tight muscles and chronic pain, Acupuncture is a treatment that involves the gentle insertion of needles into the skin in key ‘acupuncture points’ that depend on the condition.
As a treatment that requires specialist knowledge, our physiotherapists have completed a post-graduate training course in the use of acupuncture. They also are members of the Acupuncture Association of Chartered Physiotherapists and are skilled in the application of Eastern and Western principles.
