Acupunture
a system of integrative medicine that involves pricking the skin or tissues with needles, used to alleviate pain and to treat various physical, mental, and emotional conditions. Originating in ancient China, acupuncture is now widely practiced in the West.

It is a complete medical protocol focused on correcting imbalances of energy (known as qi or chi) in the body. In China , acupuncture has been used traditionally to prevent, diagnose and treat disease, as well as to improve general health.

Dry Needling
What is Dry needling, also known as trigger point dry needling and myofascial trigger point dry needling?
It is a treatment technique whereby a sterile dry, single-use, fine filament needle (acupuncture needle), one without medication or injection, is inserted into the muscle to assist with decreasing pain and improving function through the release of myofascial trigger points (knots in the muscle).
Dry needling is using the similar technique as acupuncture however they have different theory.

Strapping Tape
Leading an active life means increasing your risk of getting injured, hence the need for a proactive measure to avoid injuries, such as using a strapping tape. Taping or strapping can prevent or relieve joint injury or pain since the tape can offer the support and stabilisation that the injured parts need. These tapes provide different levels of compression without side effects and can even hasten recovery after an injury.
Typically, strapping tapes are used for the following purposes:
- Providing support and stabilising after acute injury to facilitate the healing process
- Relieving chronic pain
- Hastening the recovery process by compressing affected tissues

Knee Pain Relief
Bothered by a stiff and swollen knee? Feeling uncomfortable because you cannot fully straighten your knee? These are only some of the symptoms that may accompany knee pain, which is quite common. Most cases of knee pain can be treated, provided that proper diagnosis of its cause can be determined.
Treatments for knee pain may include massage, taping, knee mobilisation techniques, strengthening exercises, knee replacement or reconstruction, and rehabilitation after surgery. It all depends on the causes of knee pain, something that can be identified by a physiotherapist.
Given the knee’s involvement in daily movements, it is exposed to more risk of injury. Oftentimes, knee pain is caused by musculoskeletal conditions or overuse. It may also be due to other issues, including several types of arthritis, bursitis, tendinitis, meniscal injuries, dislocated kneecap, ligament injuries, iliotibial band syndrome, and...
