Sampson Physiotherapy

Assessment : We assess stability, flexibility, mechanical and neuromuscular functions then collaborate to correct and get to the core of your problem.

The both use acupuncture pins as part of the treatment but dry needling treats inflamed notes in the muscle, thereby allowing the muscle to return to its normal physiological state thus reducing pain and improving strength. Acupuncture is based on a system of medicine where preordained points are used to treat certain conditions, everything from musculoskeletal conditions to anxiety. We offer both treatments here at Sampson Physiotherapy.

Pain is a very complex mechanism. We explain in detail to our patients how pain works, how to recognise “good” pain and not so good pain. So best to call us and schedule an appointment. A good rule of thumb is to use the visual analogue scale, where is 0 is no pain and 10 is the worst pain with your condition. If your pain is below a 5, we would generally say it is safe to exercise but if your pain is increasing to stop. Hope this helps!
