Decreased muscle stiffness and soreness after exercise or physical activity Reduced recovery time post injury Increased levels of relaxation and reduction in physical and psychological stress levels Aids sleep quantity and quality. These benefits are largely the result of an increase in local blood circulation which helps to flush out chemical irritants and waste products which have stored up within the muscle. At the same time, fresh blood flow increases oxygen and nutrient content within the muscle. This in turn can help with muscle repair and leads to a reduction in muscle tension. This is done with a hands on technique and can be used on most people to various levels of depth depending on preference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6052071fb188182e6635c89c/1616014661986-U3GTILLITPKETXRAM4OV/istockphoto-542566294-612x612.jpg Treatments - Acupuncture Acupuncture is a none pharmaceutical therapy known to induce pain control, especially in the musculoskeletal system. Various therapeutic effects of acupuncture are associated with central and systemic mechanisms involving the brain or autonomic nervous system as well as local effects at the acupuncture site. Recent studies have shown that acupuncture changes the levels of neurotransmitters or hormones such as beta-endorphin, dopamine, serotonin, and cortisol and has a specific effect on the limbic system or emotional area of the brain. Acupuncture is perfect for those with chronic pain or injuries such as tendinitis due to its ability to pierce into areas that are unaccessible or that can be painful to touch. Note - This is not traditional Chinese acupuncture used to treat addiction, depression or other psychological aspects, we cant reset your Qi ! However, if you have a fear of needles - this may not be the treatment for you. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6052071fb188182e6635c89c/1616014921480-C13I5UFD1UR4568G10YN/ultrasound-therapy.jpg Treatments - Therapeutic Ultrasound Therapeutic ultrasound can be used to increase the stretch in fibrous tissues (such as tendons), which can help increase range of motion around a joint. Therapeutic ultrasound can also be used to soften and break down scar tissue that is interfering with movement. By deep heating the tissues, therapeutic ultrasound increases blood flow to the area. This in turn can increase local blood flow and reduce inflammation and swelling. Therapeutic ultrasound can also decrease pain and muscle spasms, as well as speed up wound healing. This treatment method can be best suited for individuals with very acute injuries (within a few days of initial injury) like rolling an ankle whilst playing or other ligament sprains. Can also be used on joints or bones suffering from Osteoporosis or Arthritis . https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6052071fb188182e6635c89c/1616015972956-NJ0HGV3GAEEOZZWHQDGG/unsplash-image-BYFiSy0pGLc.jpg Treatments - Joint Mobilisations & ManualTherapy From your shoulders to your toes, your body is the home of hundreds of joints. These joints help you move and bend and are used in just about every daily activity you can think of. When one of these joints is injured, it can become inflamed and restrict movement. Joint mobilisation involves applying measured amounts of force to passively move your injured joint into alignment. To do this, we may use techniques involving hands-on movements. We may also ease your joint movement with specialised tools and equipment. Whichever type of joint mobilisation we choose, the technique may have significant benefits for your joint injury recovery. These benefits may include: Reducing the levels of pain and discomfort from your injury Increasing the range of motion of your joints Improving the movement quality of your joints Manual therapy is customised to each patient’s individual condition, making it a very personalised form of treatment. Based on a careful examination of a patient’s condition, manual therapy is incorporated into the treatment plan according to their body’s specific needs. This treatment is best suited to individuals with a limited ROM, recent joint injuries or ligament sprains. Perfect for frozen shoulders, hip and knee pain and none specific lower back pain. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6052071fb188182e6635c89c/1616016434996-DA65OYKXMPU2VI1NKUUC/unsplash-image-Pdea8oxLHkU.jpg Treatments - Cupping Therapy (Dry Cupping) Benefits of Cupping Help with pain Reduce Inflammation Improve blood flow Relaxation Wellbeing Deep-tissue massage What is Dry Cupping? Dry cupping uses plastic or silicone cups to create a vacuum pulling skin and muscular tissue up. This then pulls blood into the target area, bringing with it the nutrients found in the blood. Cupping can also be used to grab, pull and push fascia to treat pain, mobility and movement dysfunctions. Perfect for Sciatica, Lower lumbar Radiculopathy, Tendinitis or Tendinopathy due it its ability to decompress muscle tissue by lifting it away to either stop pressure on nerves or to promote blood flow under muscular tissue. At Herd Sands we use a mix of plastic vacuum cups and RockPods (flexible silicone cups). https://www.herdsands.co.uk/book-a-treatment daily 0.75 2024-02-22 https://www.herdsands.co.uk/pricing daily 0.75 2025-09-13 https://www.herdsands.co.uk/book-a-treatment-1 daily 0.75 2024-01-30 https://www.herdsands.co.uk/tecar-therapy daily 0.75 2022-03-17 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6052071fb188182e6635c89c/1ea5badf-ef8d-4a05-803e-8cbd5ed1e146/winback-back-3S-tecartherapie-01.jpg TECAR Therapy - What is TECAR Therapy Tecartherapy is a revolutionary technology for physiotherapists, osteopaths, chiropractors and sports physicians. It is a particularly innovative joint and muscle regeneration process. The basic principle is to allow the stimulation of the natural mechanisms of self-repair of the human body to help the rapid rehabilitation of muscle and joint functions. To understand tecartherapy, you have to think at the cellulare level. At this scale, it is possible to compare the cell to an electric battery. This is composed of a negative charge, inside the membrane, and a positive charge on the outside. Depending on each type of tissue, there is a difference in energy potential. This value is fixed and known according to the tissue. By default, for example, the muscle has a difference in energy potential of -90 mV. In the case of an injury or a pathology, this indicator can fall to -20/30 mV, resulting in a dysfunction of the cell that will last varying timescales depending on the kind of injury or pathology. TECAR therapy allows, by stimulating on the potential of Cell membrane, to speed up the natural healing process of the cells. TECAR technology is now internationally recognized. Thousands of practitioners use this technology every day, which has opened up new horizons for treatment methods and the future of physical therapy. WINBACK energy (high-frequency current) is a high-frequency current ranging from 300 kHz to 1 MHz. It accelerates the «natural regeneration» of tissues. It’s low intensity makes it an energy totally non-invasive and 100% natural for the human body. It is acclaimed by thousands of patients and top athletes for its therapeutic benefits, and has become a global reference with more than 7000 centers that have equipped themselves in 7 years. Radiofrequency has more than demonstrated its effectiveness in the fields of orthopaedic surgery, cosmetic medicine and more recently in rehabilitation. Studies over the past thirty years have shown that the use of high-frequency current stimulates tissue reconstruction naturally and relieves pain. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6052071fb188182e6635c89c/1641385498534-69P9K6ENK707JIHP3EUL/858EA2C7-F2B1-491D-908C-2E71A631D265.jpeg TECAR Therapy https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6052071fb188182e6635c89c/1641385529104-VSV7CUK8FFXONG3AV3UO/19755B81-BC20-4ACA-B726-30B2C007BB50.jpeg TECAR Therapy https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6052071fb188182e6635c89c/1641385601672-JKLLJLESRMA642SM0F5P/754DE3EE-B75E-44C3-A879-A6A29C493B9B.jpeg TECAR Therapy https://www.herdsands.co.uk/location-new daily 0.75 2024-09-30 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6052071fb188182e6635c89c/3789c362-ee24-45db-a24c-86c7f4e1bc80/IMG_7460.jpeg Location https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6052071fb188182e6635c89c/e2b42cf6-c5d1-43d6-8f85-4d721cf65e47/IMG_7463.jpeg Location https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6052071fb188182e6635c89c/49cb9124-94df-4207-a00a-513d84c679cd/IMG_7464.jpeg Location https://www.herdsands.co.uk/coaching daily 0.75 2025-12-23 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6052071fb188182e6635c89c/22272996-6620-4e78-a909-e2b6daac2b7d/Image+23-12-2025+at+12.58.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6052071fb188182e6635c89c/17b4e175-9055-4d61-967a-a731f013963f/IMG_0196.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6052071fb188182e6635c89c/460de7fe-d143-4db2-8c56-40dffda3ff39/IMG_0197.jpg https://www.herdsands.co.uk/gift-cards daily 0.75 2022-11-23 https://www.herdsands.co.uk/gift-cards/gift-card monthly 0.5 2021-11-27 https://www.herdsands.co.uk/gift-cards/p/gift-cards monthly 0.5 2024-10-22 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6052071fb188182e6635c89c/1692042779518-XNTW91AC8Y3R27ABOJS2/AdobeStock_358525166.jpeg Gift Cards -
