Acupuncture in Physiotherapy.
💭 Common misconception:
“Medical acupuncture is just an alternative add-on in physiotherapy.”
🔍 The reality:
Medical acupuncture is a clinically reasoned intervention, grounded in neurophysiology and evidence-informed practice. When used by appropriately trained physiotherapists, it is integrated into assessment, movement analysis, and rehabilitation - not applied in isolation.
For physiotherapists, medical acupuncture isn’t about treating a symptom in a vacuum. It’s about influencing pain, muscle tone, and motor control to support active recovery and meaningful movement 🧩➡️🚶♂️
💬 Reflection:
Are we underestimating the role of skilled clinical reasoning in how medical acupuncture is used within physiotherapy?
At AACP, we champion safe, evidence-based medical acupuncture that enhances physiotherapy practice and outcomes for patients 🎯
