At our Canary Wharf Clinic, acupuncture is delivered by experienced physiotherapists and Traditional Chinese Medicine practitioners working together to provide precise, effective treatment. Whether your focus is pain relief, recovery, stress management, or general wellbeing, our team integrates acupuncture into evidence-based rehabilitation for lasting results.
At London City Physiotherapy, acupuncture is never a stand-alone procedure. It’s part of a considered, clinical approach to recovery. Our physiotherapists are fully trained in Western acupuncture, applying needling techniques to reduce pain, release tension, and support healing of muscles, joints, and connective tissues.
Alongside this, we also offer Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) acupuncture, drawing on centuries of understanding about the body’s energetic balance and the interconnection between systems. This means you can benefit from either a modern, targeted approach or a holistic, whole-body perspective — or both, combined where appropriate.
Every treatment begins with assessment and conversation: understanding how your symptoms affect your daily life, identifying patterns of imbalance, and designing a plan that fits seamlessly with your physiotherapy or wellbeing goals.
Acupuncture at our Canary Wharf clinic is used to address a wide range of musculoskeletal and systemic issues. For some clients, it forms part of their physiotherapy treatment for conditions such as neck, shoulder, or back pain, tendinopathies, or post-surgical recovery. For others, it helps manage chronic headaches, stress, fatigue, menstrual pain, or sleep disruption. The treatment experience itself is calm and measured. Fine, sterile needles are inserted gently into specific points to stimulate the body’s natural healing processes. You may feel warmth, heaviness, or a mild tingling — sensations that often accompany the release of muscular or nervous tension. Most clients find the sessions deeply relaxing, with effects that extend beyond the immediate area of pain or dysfunction.
Our clinic sits in the heart of Canary Wharf — a calm, professional space designed for recovery and reflection amid the energy of London’s financial district. Clients often tell us that the contrast between the pace of city life and the quiet focus of acupuncture sessions helps them reset both physically and mentally. Your therapist may integrate acupuncture alongside soft tissue therapy, mobilisation, or targeted exercise, depending on your needs. The goal is always the same: to relieve pain, restore movement, and create balance throughout the body.
