Acupuncture is a technique that uses small needles to stimulate the nervous system and promote healing. At the clinic, we use this alongside manual therapy and exercise with some of our patients to speed up the healing process and improve pain tolerance. Acupuncture is also used effectively for chronic pain with some studies supporting it as an effective treatment for fibromyalgia.

If you have any questions regarding acupuncture and whether it would be the right fit for you. Contact the page for a guaranteed reply within 48hrs. For bookings, contact 07983 982111.

As Physiotherapists, we like to get hands on with our treatments.
Have you ever left an appointment feeling like your pain has eased without taking pain relief?

Well heres the secret as to why massage therapy is an effective pain reliever!

1. Pain Gate Theory - tactile touch within the area of the injury can override the pain signals up to the brain.

2. Release of Endorphins - endorphins are our bodies natural pain relief!

3. Relaxation - calming down the sympathetic nervous system can dull down the signals from the painful area.

4. Increase in blood flow - this can help flush out lactic acid inside muscle groups which can contribute to pain.

5. Decrease Inflammation - Certain massage techniques can help reduce inflammatory chemicals in the body, easing pain in conditions like arthritis.

✅ Shoulders are designed to be mobile! ✅

Problems often start as a result of the muscles around them get tight. This is something we see quite often as we spend more time on computers and mobile phones. Here's a quick guide into some exercises you could try if you feel your shoulders getting tight. Adding these into your daily routine for 30 seconds each, 3x per day, can transform your shoulder mobility and in some cases improve pain.

At Leigh Therapy Centre, we have specialist Upper Limb physiotherapists available and ready to help with your shoulder pain. If you need anymore information regarding an appointment, please contact the page!

❗Hearing clicking in your neck? Sometimes this is normal ❗️

Clicking in joints is something we often hear from our clients during a consultation. However, a lot of the time this doesn't contribute much to our patients symptoms. Often, when we have pain in an area, it changes the way we move and our brains go into fixation mode. These two differences can lead to symptoms such as clicking. Clicking should generally only be a concern for you if there is pain associated with it or if the joint is 'giving way' alongside it.

Our in-house Physiotherapists are available throughout the week to give you more personalised information regarding your injuries. So contact us through the page or text us on 07983 982111 or contact the page!
