Even the smallest aches and pains can have a big impact on how you feel day-to-day. Whether you have chronic pain, a new mild twinge, or a condition you’ve been trying to manage for a while, sometimes trying a new approach may help you find relief.
At YouGo Physio, integrative acupuncture may be offered as part of your personalised physiotherapy treatment to support pain management and movement. With our clinic in South Melbourne and mobile appointments throughout Edithvale, we support people of all ages with a wide variety of needs, aiming to find the right treatment approach for your individual needs.
Integrative acupuncture draws on Japanese meridian therapy, using gentle needling and hands-on assessment to guide individualised treatment.
Integrative Acupuncture is a holistic approach to pain, where your practitioner inserts very fine, sterile needles into specific points of your body. It may be used alone or alongside other physiotherapy treatments, depending on your needs and goals.
This approach considers your symptoms alongside factors such as sleep, stress, and general wellbeing that may influence your pain experience and recovery. Gentle needling techniques are tailored to your comfort, sensitivity, and response to treatment.
When you’re dealing with chronic pain, muscle tension, or discomfort, acupuncture may be one way to manage your general well-being. From chronic conditions and women’s health issues to sports injuries and the quest to maintain an active lifestyle, this form of manual therapy aims to support whole-body balance for many common concerns.
Acupuncture may complement exercise, hands-on therapy and education when managing muscle and joint pain or persistent pain. Your physiotherapist will assess whether it is appropriate for your individual needs and discuss the expected benefits and possible risks.

Acupuncture originated in traditional Chinese medicine, where it is traditionally understood through the concepts of Qi and meridian pathways. Over time, Japanese practitioners developed their own approaches to assessment and treatment.
The integrative acupuncture approach used at YouGo Physiotherapy draws on Japanese meridian therapy, with an emphasis on gentle palpation using touch to assess tissue sensitivity and guide treatment. Acupuncture points may be selected both near and away from the painful area. These approaches have different methods and uses, and acupuncture may also be incorporated into modern physiotherapy care.
Most people feel little to no discomfort during acupuncture, as the needles are much finer than those used for injections. You might notice a slight tingling, dull ache, or pressure, but this usually settles quickly.
Everybody responds differently, so there’s no set number of sessions that works for every person. Your physiotherapist will discuss a treatment plan based on your symptoms, goals, and how you respond to acupuncture.
Acupuncture is generally considered safe when a suitably qualified practitioner performs it, although you may experience mild bruising, tenderness, or a little bleeding where the needles were inserted. More serious complications are rare, and your physiotherapist will talk you through the potential risks before treatment.
Absolutely! We may incorporate acupuncture into a broader physiotherapy treatment plan alongside approaches like sports massage, cupping, exercise and manual therapy. Your physiotherapist will talk with you about your health, overall well-being, and goals in an effort to determine what treatment options may be most appropriate for you.
Our clinic is located on Market Street in South Melbourne, just down from Clarendon Street. Street parking is available outside, and there are many public transport options including trams, buses, and trains.
