She uses acupuncture alongside physiotherapy techniques to help patients in Maidenhead, Windsor and Marlow recover from pain and injury more effectively.
What Is Acupuncture?
Acupuncture is a treatment that involves inserting very fine sterile needles into specific points in the body to stimulate nerves, muscles and connective tissues. This stimulation can help reduce pain, relax muscles and improve circulation to injured tissues.
When used by physiotherapists, acupuncture is often integrated with other treatments such as manual therapy, exercise therapy and rehabilitation programmes to improve overall outcomes.
Acupuncture is commonly used in physiotherapy to treat musculoskeletal pain, inflammation and muscle tightness, helping patients recover more comfortably and return to normal movement.
How Acupuncture Helps With Pain and Healing
Acupuncture works in several ways to support recovery. The insertion of needles stimulates the nervous system, which can help release natural pain-relieving chemicals in the body and improve blood flow to injured areas.
Research has shown that acupuncture can provide short-term pain relief for a range of musculoskeletal conditions, particularly conditions such as lower back pain and osteoarthritis.
By reducing pain and muscle tension, acupuncture can also make it easier for patients to participate in rehabilitation exercises and physiotherapy treatments that support long-term recovery.

Acupuncture as Part of Your Physiotherapy Treatment
Acupuncture is rarely used as a stand-alone treatment. Instead, it forms part of a comprehensive physiotherapy programme designed to address the root cause of your pain or injury.
During your appointment, Marie will carry out a full assessment to understand your symptoms, movement patterns and lifestyle. Based on this assessment, acupuncture may be recommended alongside treatments such as:
Manual therapy and joint mobilisation
Soft tissue massage and trigger point release
Rehabilitation exercises
Postural correction and strengthening work
This combined approach helps address both the symptoms and underlying cause of pain, supporting faster recovery and reducing the risk of recurring injury.
Is Acupuncture Safe?
When performed by a trained physiotherapist, acupuncture is considered a safe and well-established treatment. Physiotherapists use sterile, single-use needles and follow strict safety guidelines to ensure the highest standards of patient care.
Most patients experience minimal discomfort during treatment and many report a deep sense of relaxation following a session.
