Hormonal changes present during pregnancy help to prepare the pelvic joints for flexibility during the birthing process. Unfortunately, as a result, joint stability is reduced and sacro-iliac joints can become more vulnerable to injury. We know that mobilisation techniques for these joints help to reduce pain and restore function when used in conjunction with posture correction and concise exercises, and we work with pregnant women to treat these problems. The most common presentations we treat are: Sacroiliac Joint problems, Carpal Tunnel, Low back pain and pelvic pain.
What people think? I would highly recommend Leyland Physiotherapy. The friendly team put you at ease from the outset and the treatment and follow up exercises provided resulted in successful steps to recovery each week. The environment is clean, with excellent treatment rooms and equipment. The Physiotherapists are highly professional and knowledgeable and listened to the issues, providing treatments that got right to the problems and their causes, with advice provided so that fitness following treatment can be maintained. I will recommend to friends and won’t hesitate to go back if needed.
Manual Therapy: At Leyland Physiotherapy we focus on providing ‘hands-on’ therapy as we find this beneficial in reducing myofascial and joint restrictions, thereby helping to restore normal movement patterns. Techniques include massage, myofascial release, mobilisations, manipulation and taping for movement facilitation. Electrotherapy: Electrotherapy is a form of medical treatment which uses small electrical impulses applied to the affected area of the body. This accelerates tissue repair, reduces swelling and pain, and stimulates nerves and muscles, We have state of the art equipment on site including Laser, interferential, ultrasound, shockwave and electroacupuncture.

It is thought that the shockwaves activate C nerve fibres which release a specific substance (substance P) in the tissue and in the spinal cord. This substance is responsible for the slight discomfort during and after shockwave treatment. However, with prolonged activation, C fibres become incapable for some time of releasing substance P. Less Substance P in tissue, means less pain for the patient! NICE guidance 2009 recommends Shockwave for the treatment of chronic tendon injuries especially Achilles ,Tennis elbow and Plantar Fasciitis. We are one of the few private physiotherapy clinics in Lancashire able to offer this specialist therapy .Very competitively priced at only £65 per session, this is an amazing treatment… DON’T SUFFER any longer.
Leyland Physiotherapy was originally started by Mrs Jenny Wood back in 1982. Because of the hard work she put in, and the great success she had with patients, the practice quickly grew and expanded into being one of the most trusted Physiotherapy providers in Lancashire. Our physiotherapy centre is located not far from Junction 28 of the M6 motorway. We have off street parking for those visiting us by car. Regular bus services operate via the B5256 Leyland Way – we are just a short walk from the nearest stop. Find more info on https://www.leylandphysio.co.uk/.
