🛡️ Safety in acupuncture - built into every step of clinical practice.
As physiotherapists, we don’t simply learn where to place a needle. We train extensively in anatomy, clinical reasoning, and risk management to ensure treatment is both effective and safe.
Here’s how we actively reduce risk:
🔹 Clean Needle Technique
Single-use, sterile needles. Strict infection control. Clear procedural standards.
🔹 Advanced Anatomical Knowledge
Detailed understanding of musculoskeletal and neurovascular structures ensures precise, appropriate application.
🔹 Ongoing Monitoring
We assess before, during, and after treatment - adapting based on patient response and clinical findings.
Acupuncture within physiotherapy is not just a standalone therapy. It’s delivered within a regulated healthcare framework, underpinned by postgraduate-level training and professional accountability.
For us, safety isn’t an afterthought - it’s the foundation.
Professional standards. Always.
