How we can help with
Muscle Injury & Soft Tissue Pain
Muscles and soft tissues like tendons and ligaments are crucial for stability, movement, and performance in sports and everyday life. However, they are also susceptible to injuries. Whatever your level of activity, muscle strains, sprains, and soft tissue injuries are common and can be very disruptive to your daily life.
What happens when we sustain muscle injury?
Muscle injuries can happen suddenly due to an acute incident, like overstretching or direct impact, or develop gradually from overuse. Activities or sports are common sources of injuries, but sitting at a desk for too long can be equally problematic for the body. Such injuries can be not only painful but also limit your mobility and performance, often taking a long time to heal without proper care.
While most muscle injuries will recover over time, there are proactive steps you can take to speed up healing and get back to your active lifestyle sooner. Different muscle injuries have different causes, so it’s essential to get an accurate diagnosis from a specialist who can tailor the best treatment plan for you.
Why do current treatments fail?
Rest: In the past, complete rest was often recommended for muscle injuries, but it’s now known that prolonged inactivity can weaken the muscles and delay recovery. While some level of rest and activity modification is sometimes necessary, excessive rest can increase the risk of re-injury.
Painkillers: Painkillers might help alleviate discomfort temporarily but don't address the underlying issue. If you continue training or performing strenuous activities while masking the pain with medication, you risk worsening the injury.
Stretching: While stretching can provide some temporary relief, there’s little evidence it speeds up recovery. Stretching often feels good but doesn’t usually address the root cause of muscle injuries or promote long-term healing.
How can we relieve symptoms and restore optimal muscular function?
We are proud to be among the first clinics in the UK offering peripheral Magnetic Stimulation (pMS) to effectively relieve muscle and soft tissue pain and accelerate recovery. Our specialists provide individualised treatment plans that combine pMS with targeted rehabilitation exercises to help you return to peak performance quickly.
Our non-invasive, pain-free pMS treatment works by:
- Sending healthy signals to the brain, desensitising pain pathways and reducing pain both immediately and over time.
- Promoting healing by enhancing blood flow to the injured area through rhythmic muscle contractions.
- Treating conditions like muscle strains, tendonitis, and sports-related soft tissue injuries, often
Our approach combines advanced technology with expert care to ensure a faster, more complete recovery, helping you get back to doing what you love, free from pain and injury.more effectively than traditional hands-on therapies.
