Acupuncture in Kensington
Experience natural pain relief and enhanced well-being through expert acupuncture at The Physio Box.
Acupuncture at The Physio Box
At The Physio Box, we incorporate acupuncture as part of a comprehensive approach to managing pain and inflammation.
Acupuncture involves the use of fine needles to stimulate blood flow, promoting healing and pain relief in the targeted areas.
Research has shown that acupuncture can trigger the release of the body’s natural painkillers, including endorphins, melatonin for better sleep, and serotonin for enhanced well-being.
Our practitioners are highly trained, fully registered, and regulated by the Acupuncture Association of Chartered Physiotherapists (AACP), ensuring you receive safe and effective treatment.
Benefits of Acupuncture
Acupuncture offers a multitude of benefits that extend beyond pain relief. One of the key advantages is its ability to enhance overall well-being by promoting balance within the body. The treatment stimulates the body’s natural healing processes, which can lead to improved circulation, reduced inflammation, and a strengthened immune system. This holistic approach not only addresses specific ailments but also contributes to your overall health and vitality.
Additionally, acupuncture is known for its ability to alleviate stress and anxiety. By encouraging the release of endorphins and other mood-enhancing chemicals, acupuncture can help regulate your emotions and improve sleep quality. This makes it an effective treatment for those dealing with insomnia, chronic stress, or anxiety disorders. At The Physio Box, we integrate acupuncture into our treatment plans to ensure you experience these wide-ranging benefits, helping you achieve a healthier, more balanced life.
5 Common Questions About Acupuncture
Here are some frequently asked questions about acupuncture, providing insights to help you decide if this treatment is right for you.

Acupuncture stimulates specific points on the body using fine needles. This triggers a response from the nervous system, leading to increased blood flow, the release of natural painkillers, and overall improved healing. - Is acupuncture painful?
Most people feel minimal to no discomfort during acupuncture. The needles are very fine, and any sensation usually subsides quickly. Many patients find the treatment relaxing. - What conditions can acupuncture treat?
Acupuncture is effective for a wide range of conditions, including chronic pain, headaches, arthritis, back pain, and even stress-related disorders. It is often used as part of a broader treatment plan. - How many sessions will I need?
The number of sessions varies depending on the condition being treated and individual response to therapy. Some patients experience relief after just one session, while others may require several treatments. - Is acupuncture safe?
When performed by trained professionals, acupuncture is extremely safe. At The Physio Box, our practitioners adhere to strict hygiene protocols and use sterile, single-use needles to ensure your safety.

Michael Clarke
Giuseppe has helped me recover from a number of rugby injuries over the last few years. Every time the diagnosis and prescribed treatment has got me back to rugby far quicker than originally forecasted by other physios. Having seen a lot of physios over the last 10 years, I always felt there was a “one size fits all” approach and the treatment seemed quite generic. This is Giuseppe’s point of difference, he truly takes time to understand the issue an recommended a course of treatment that always feels bespoke to me and my particularly injury. Would highly recommend!
Dana Burik
Giuseppe has guided me through post-shoulder surgery rehab, working toward getting back into competitive rugby. We worked closely together for about 7 months, seeing him twice a week for gym and rugby contact sessions as well as hands on treatment. I absolutely loved working with Giuseppe, making visible progress week by week. I couldn't have asked for a better person to guide me through my rehab process; Giuseppe didn't only pay attention to my shoulder, but also overall fitness and the mental aspect. All of this resulted in me getting back on the pitch stronger and fitter than ever. 12/10 would recommend him to anyone!
Stephen Taylor
I have had lower back pain on and off for years - recently the pain had worsened tremendously. After trying everything - chiropractors, other physios, even yoga, nothing was working. I came across Giuseppe and the Physio Box on Facebook and opted in for a 15 minute assessment. Straight away I felt relaxed in the clinic and hope that I could get this problem fixed started to creep in again... I went ahead with a care package and now the pain is completely gone... I can't thank Giuseppe enough - his healing hands are nothing short of magical. Thank you so much - 100% recommendation.

Oli Hillyer-Riley
From initial consultation to 4 ongoing sessions lasting a month Giuseppe worked closely with me to fix my back injury suffered from sport. As well as treatment he showed me exercises and stretches to perform between my visits which has meant a thorough recovery. I would highly recommend Giuseppe.
