Western acupuncture in our London Clinic

Acupuncture at our London City Clinic lies at the intersection of modern musculoskeletal care and ancient therapeutic philosophy. Our physiotherapists are fully trained in Western acupuncture and certified members of the Acupuncture Association for Chartered Physiotherapists (AACP).

 

Subtle changes to pain relief

Your session begins with a careful assessment of your body’s movement, posture, and symptom patterns. For physiotherapy-led acupuncture, this may dovetail directly with your broader treatment plan. In Traditional TCM sessions, your practitioner will also explore energetic health, lifestyle, and systemic balance.

During the treatment, ultra-fine sterile needles are placed at strategic points. You may feel a sense of tingling, warmth, or heaviness — all of which can signal the initiation of healing. Your comfort is paramount, and adjustments are made throughout.

Over a course of sessions, you may notice shifts not only in pain relief but also in sleep quality, stress resilience, and internal harmony. Many users of acupuncture describe subtle yet cumulative changes in wellbeing that classical therapies don’t always address.

Because our team includes physiotherapists, there’s a unique opportunity: acupuncture isn’t just added on — it’s woven into your therapeutic plan. We may pair needling with exercise, joint mobilisation, soft tissue work, or neuromuscular re-education to maximise outcomes.
