Numbness, tingling, or that “pins and needles” feeling in your toes can come from something as simple as sitting awkwardly, but it can also signal a deeper issue.

👣 Common causes include tight footwear, nerve compression from your back or hip
or underlying conditions such as diabetes or autoimmune disorders.
🧠 Nerve signals travel from your spine all the way to your toes — so any irritation along the way can cause symptoms.
👟 We’ll help identify the root cause, ease symptoms through targeted physiotherapy, and guide you with footwear and lifestyle advice.

📍Located in Dublin 4, our experienced team at Ballsbridge Physiotherapy is here to help you stay mobile and pain-free.

👉 Book an appointment today to get to the bottom of your numbness.

Tired of tight muscles that just won’t ease? No matter how much you stretch or foam roll? It
might be time to try dry needling.
This evidence based technique uses fine, sterile needles to release trigger points and reduce
deep muscle tension. It’s commonly used to treat conditions like neck and shoulder pain, tennis elbow, calf tightness, hip pain, and those post run or desk Job niggles.

What to expect? A brief pinch or twitch, followed by improved movement, reduced pain, and
less tightness.

💡 While it offers quick relief, long term benefits come from pairing it with rehab exercises and
posture work.

📍At Ballsbridge Physiotherapy Clinic in Dublin 4, our trained physiotherapists offer dry
needling as part of personalised treatment plans. Book in today to see if it’s right for you.

One of our client testimonials from Aoife -
“Tasked with organising our Virtual Work Conference mid Lockdown, I asked Aileen to speak to us on what was initially just the importance of posture and exercise whilst remote working. Aileen’s contribution along with her colleague Patricia during the conference went above and beyond this and tapped into a real need from colleagues for guidance with Mindfulness to cope with the pitfalls of remote working.”

“Strong core muscles will prevent all back pain.”

👉 Truth: While having strong core muscles can help support the spine and improve posture, it's a
myth that core strength alone will prevent all back pain.

Back pain is multi-factorial, meaning it is
influenced by a combination of physical, psychological, and lifestyle factors.

Although targeted core exercises like planks or bridges can be part of an effective treatment or
prevention plan, they are not a cure all. Research shows that other elements play just as significant
a role, including:

● Mobility and flexibility – especially in the hips, thoracic spine, and hamstrings
● General physical fitness – staying active and keeping the whole body conditioned is often
more protective than focusing only on the core
● Mental health and stress levels – stress and anxiety can increase muscle tension and pain
sensitivity
● Sleep quality – poor sleep is linked to increased pain perception and slower recovery
● Movement variety – relying too much on “perfect posture” or overly rigid movement can limit
natural spinal motion and cause more issues over time

In short, a balanced, whole-body approach that includes strength, movement variety, emotional
wellbeing, and recovery is far more effective than simply doing core exercises.

Can You Exercise with Tendonitis?
Yes, but only with the right plan. Tendonitis (or tendinopathy) doesn’t mean full rest, it means smart, strategic rehab focused on load management and progressive strengthening.

- You might notice stiffness in the morning, pain after activity, or tenderness around the tendon, all signs it’s time to take action.
- With a tailored programme, guided by your physiotherapist, you can safely return to your sport stronger than before.
- Pain during rehab doesn’t always mean damage, and your physio will help you learn what’s okay and what’s not.

📍 At Ballsbridge Physiotherapy Clinic in Dublin 4, we help athletes and active individuals rehab tendon pain and return to peak performance.
