Acupuncture
Axis Physiotherapy Services Slough are trained in Traditional Acupuncture and is a member of of the British Acupuncture Council and is also trained in modern Acupuncture and is a member of the Acupuncture Association of Chartered Society of Physiotherapists.
Acupuncture is very effective in treating acute and chronic conditions, by assisting the body to release its own pain killers and neurotransmitters such as Serotonin, which sometimes called ‘’happy hormone’’
Due to this effect patients often feel a sense of relaxation, and well being.
As a Traditional acupuncturists I also believe, that Acupuncture removes the blockage of energy ’’QI’’ and regulates its flow ,thereby accentuating healing process.
The effects of Acupuncture are cumulative. The number of treatments you require will depend on several factors, such as the duration and extent of your condition and how quickly your body can heal.
You may get benefit after one session of treatment but often a course of 6 to8 sessions is recommended.
What Is Physiotherapy?
CSP Physiotherapy Framework
Definition of Physiotherapy
Physiotherapy is a health care profession that works with people to identify and maximise their ability to move and function. Functional movement is a key part of what of what it means to be healthy. This means that physiotherapy plays a key role in enabling people to improve their health, well being and quality of life.
Physiotherapists recognise that physical, psychological, social and environmental factors can limit movement and function. They use their knowledge and skills to identify what is limiting an individual’s movement and performance, and help individuals decide how to address their needs.
Physiotherapy’s values means that practice is person -centred, ethical and effective. The Royal Charter gives physiotherapy a broad scope of practice that includes manual therapy, exercise and movement, electro therapy, acupuncture, massage and other physical approaches.
Physiotherapy is an autonomous profession, this means that physiotherapists can accept referrals for assessment from range of sources: from an individual or from other people involved with that individual.
