Acupuncture & Taping In Leeds & Surrounding Areas
Here at Physio Action, we are pleased to offer a complete range of treatments to compliment physiotherapy, including acupuncture and taping.
If you are experiencing pain or discomfort as a result of your injury, it is always best to consider complimentary therapies to speed up the healing process and ultimately, give you more relief during the course of your treatment.
Acupuncture is a system of complimentary medicine whereby fine needles are inserted into the skin at specific points of the body. This can be beneficial when addressing chronic and acute pain presentation and some soft tissue conditions.
In addition to acupuncture, we also offer taping. Our trained physiotherapists in Leeds can perform various taping techniques, including Kinesio taping. Taping can work very well alongside conventional physiotherapy interventions to help with athletic performance, restore joint stability, correct abnormal movement patterns and subsequently relieve pain.

Taping Treatments
Taping, often referred to as strapping, is a skilled technique used by physiotherapists for rehabilitation or injury prevention.
Taping is most commonly used alongside other physio treatments to compliment existing treatment plans in place. Taping can be used to; restore joint stability, encourage normal movement, reduce pain and more. If you are unsure as to whether taping is a suitable treatment for you, our physiotherapists are pleased to offer advice.
If you would like more information about taping or any of our other treatments, contact our physiotherapists today.
Acupuncture
Acupuncture is a traditional approach to physiotherapy and is used by our team as a complimentary medicine. Acupuncture works to promote the healing process by restoring the balance of energy in the body. As a result, pain and inflammation can be relieved.
Before having any kind of acupuncture treatment, you will have a consultation with one of our specially trained physiotherapists who will recommend this particular treatment if they feel that you will benefit from it. Just some of the many benefits of acupuncture include but are not limited to; increased muscle length, swelling reduction, pain relief, reducing joint stiffness, relaxation and more.
Acupuncture is performed by inserting very fine, individual needs at differing ‘trigger points’ on the body. These trigger points vary from patient to patient dependent upon symptoms. Contrary to popular belief, acupuncture is a painless treatment and can be very relaxing.
If you are interested in finding out more about acupuncture and how this treatment may benefit you, please feel free to contact our physiotherapists today. You can reach us directly by calling 0113 268 7578 for advice or to book an appointment.

Does Acupuncture Hurt?
Many people can be put off acupuncture treatment because it involves needles and therefore, a lot assume that this is a painful treatment. This is a common misconception, as acupuncture actually has the opposite effect! The needles used for acupuncture are very thin and most people feel very little to no pain at all during and after the treatment. In fact, you are more likely to experience a tingling sensation when the needles are inserted.
Happy Clients
I would like to commend Charlie for the very friendly and professional way she managed the treatment I required when I damaged my Pelvis following a fall. I would never have reached my high level of recovery without the constant encouragement and support I received from her throughout our sessions. She is certainly an asset to Physio Action. Many thanks for your co-operation. Kind regards MB
I would like to sincerely thank Jaime for the kind helpful and respectful manner in which she dealt with my bladder problem and brought it to a swift and satisfactory conclusion. Kind regards MB

Thanks guys for being amazing! Will recommend Physio Action to anyone every time.
Dear Jane,
Thanks for sorting me out physio wise so I could ski. I think you are very good at your job; great communication skills, friendly, efficient and effective. Keep doing it like you do.

Just to say how very grateful I am to you for your determined efforts to diagnose and get treatment for Jenni's back.She really had drawn a blank until she met you. I do hope that all your efforts will pay off and that she will be able to train and run again. With my sincere thanks.
Big Thank you to all at Physio Action for the excellent care I have had over the past 6 months. Without the comprehensive care from Gill and Kev before the Winter Olympics I would not have been able to compete. On my return I needed a significant operation followed by challenging rehabilitation that has been expertly led by Kev.
Could I pay tribute to the excellent pelvic floor physio session I have just had with Jaime Sawiuk at the Physio Action clinic. She was absolutely superb - I have a fairly complicated history and she was very knowledgeable and thorough while being gentle and compassionate - a true professional. Thank you.
