Acupuncture

 Tiny needles are inserted at specific locations on the body during the acupuncture technique to ease discomfort and encourage recovery. In physiotherapy, acupuncture is often used as a complementary therapy to other treatments to help manage pain and improve mobility.



During an acupuncture session, a trained healthcare professional will insert sterile needles into the skin at various points, depending on the specific condition being treated. The needles are left in place for several minutes, and some practitioners may use heat or electrical stimulation to enhance the effects of the treatment.

One of the natural healing processes that acupuncture is intended to promote is the release of endorphins, the body’s natural painkillers. It also helps to improve blood flow and reduce inflammation in the body.

Many conditions can be treated with acupuncture, including chronic pain, headaches, arthritis, and fibromyalgia. Our physiotherapist will discuss acupuncture’s potential benefits and risks with you before undergoing the procedure. While acupuncture is generally considered safe, some people may experience mild side effects such as bruising or soreness at the needle insertion site.

Harnessing the Power of Chest Percussion Therapy for Optimal Lung Function

Chest physiotherapy , encompassing various techniques, plays a crucial role in maintaining respiratory health. Among these techniques, chest percussion therapy emerges as a cornerstone in promoting effective lung function and managing respiratory conditions. Chest percussion therapy involves rhythmic tapping on the chest to dislodge and mobilize mucus that has accumulated in the airways. This gentle tapping action facilitates the loosening of mucus, making it easier for individuals to cough up and clear their air passages.

By breaking up mucus and aiding its removal, this technique proves instrumental in alleviating symptoms associated with conditions like cystic fibrosis, chronic bronchitis, and pneumonia. When combined with complementary chest physiotherapy techniques such as postural drainage and breathing exercises, chest percussion therapy en...
