Last week I added Cupping Therapy as another service to my ever-expanding arsenal. This is a therapy that compliments my other hands-on modalities very well.

Benefits include:
✅ Stretching out tight fascia restrictions - perfect for improving movement along whole chains of tissue ⛓️
✅ Increases blood flow to an area - perfect after an injury or surgery 🤕
✅ Works with the nervous system and tissue receptors to instigate a release
✅ Potential alternative to dry needling for phobic clients
✅ Aids my own longevity as a therapist due to its labour-saving nature
✅ And many more!

Stay tuned for further updates and information!

A reminder to all clients that attire is of upmost importance during treatments!

I've had a lot of clients turning up lately without the proper clothing, so please note the following:

✅ Loose fitting shorts that roll all the way up the leg
✅ Ladies - bras that unclip (unlike most sports bras!)
❌ Jeans
❌ Cargo shorts
❌ Sports leggings
❌ Tight lycra shorts (e.g. cycling) - preferably not!
❌ Bras that don't unclip

Some clients assume they can wear certain things if for example the pain is elsewhere. But as we know, where the pain is, the problem usually isn't, so don't assume and always bring the correct clothing as there is a very good reason why I say this and treatments are often having to be significantly limited from people being ill-prepared. After all, it is better to bring it and not need it, then to not bring it and then need it.

All clients are sent the pre-appointment information prior to their first session and is on every reminder message. They should familiarise themselves with prior to their first appointment and can be found here: www.wgtherapy.com/patient-information

One thing that I see a lot both in-clinic and on social media is the tendency of people to self-diagnose.

Essentially they are turning to 'Dr Google' or other people who have had similar issues.

Whilst it is easy to turn to online platforms for quick and easy advice, there are various problems with this:

🔧 There is no quick and easy fix, especially for long-standing issues! In fact, going down the route of treating the wrong thing could only serve to delay recovery!

😨 It causes unnecessary worry. Reputable online sources such as the NHS are useful to know whether you should see a doctor for symptoms you are experiencing. However excessive research from non-reputable sources should be avoided. Often you read or hear worst-case scenario when in fact it's something less serious. You may get persistent headaches and Google might tell you that you could have a brain tumour! Likewise a more serious issue could be dismissed as something more trivial. Get it checked by a proper professional in that area!

❌ I see a lot of clients who have self-diagnosed and what the problem actually is is often very different to what they thought it was. Doing the wrong treatment at best will make no difference, and at worst it could make problems a lot more severe!

🗣️ A little bit of knowledge is often dangerous! Just because your friend has had the same injury, it doesn't mean the same treatment method should apply to yourself. As an example, three different people could have Plantar Fasciitis:

🦵 Person A's issue was caused by tight calves

🦶 Person B's injury is due to a restriction in mobility of the big toe (Hallux limitus/rigidus)

💪 Meanwhile, Person C has weak plantar intrinsic muscles in the arch.

So instead of trying home remedies, get injuries checked out! That way you get a more accurate idea of what's going on and a tailored programme that is specific to YOU! 🎯
