Manipulation & Mobilisation

These are manual techniques used by physiotherapists to improve mobility and function of soft tissues, muscles, joints, tendons and ligaments. Manipulation is usually performed as a very fast, accurate movement on the neck or back area and provides pain relief and increases flexibility. Mobilisation is a slower technique performed with smooth movements on joints, ligaments or muscle, and is also used for pain reduction and flexibility improvement.

Massage

Massage is the manipulation of the bodies’ soft tissues for the purpose of affecting the nervous, muscular, respiratory, and circulatory systems. Chartered Physiotherapists have a unique understanding of the body, giving them an advantage when it comes to treating your aches and pains.

Accupuncture / Dry Needling

Accupuncture is another highly beneficial treatment used within physiotherapy in which fine needles are inserted into the skin at specific points along what are considered to be ‘meridians’ or lines of energy. It is thought that this helps to to relieve pain by releasing endorphins, the bodies natural pain-killing chemicals and by affecting the part of the brain that governs serotonin. Dry needling is a similar approach however this involves random insertion of needles to gain a therapeutic effect into a taut muscle that may contain a trigger point. Trigger points are tight tender areas which can cause pain, weakness and musculoskeletal imbalances.
