Acupuncture is an age-old Chinese treatment method in which fine needles are placed on carefully chosen points. At Sportpraktijk Movenda we use this technique as an addition when it fits your complaints, preferences and treatment plan. Acupuncture does not replace necessary medical diagnosis or active rehabilitation.
Who it's for
- People with pain or tension complaints who are looking for an additional form of treatment
- Complaints for which the specialised therapist considers acupuncture appropriate
- Patients who want to combine this technique with physiotherapy or exercise therapy
How we work
- A discussion of your complaint, medical context and expectations
- An explanation of the points chosen and how the session runs
- Sterile needles, used by a trained therapist
- A review of your response, and integration into the wider treatment plan
What to expect
A transparent approach, without promises that cannot be supported. Beforehand we discuss what the treatment can mean, which reactions are possible, and when another approach is more appropriate.
Practical
Duration
Each session lasts about 30 minutes, including administration and changing. Extra time to practise on your own is possible when it fits your programme. The session is with a therapist who has the appropriate training.
