What do we do with a corked thigh? We stab it of course! 📌
Well we don't stab IT, we stab its perimeter.
Corked thighs are s**t. The tissue feels tight, the muscles feel tight, the whole leg feels restricted and heavy and when you sneeze it feels like it wants to pop.
But why stabby time?
Slightly subdermal placement of Chinese style acupuncture needles with a touch of clockwise winding can kick off a localised histamine response.
Histamine is a signaller for white blood cells which will mosey on down and gobble up all the metabolic waste produced from the subdermal bleeding.
This combined with some light frictioning sweeps over the tissue towards the heart will direct the waste away from the cork and should accelerate the healing process.
The end result post treatment is a substantial drop in perceived tightness around the area and a much "lighter" feeling leg.
Dunno if we helped with the sneeze-splodey sensation but time will tell!
