Clients of The NIHP Sacriston Practice in Durham often learn through a Gait analysis (the way we walk) and Biomechanical assessment that their recurring sports injury or leg/back pain is caused by a poor alignment of the bone, ligament and muscle structure of their feet and legs.

A biomechanical assessment is the starting point for understanding the cause of your problem, what treatment is needed or whether further investigations are necessary. It provides our Podiatrists with insight about walking patterns and muscular-skeletal alignment.

Deep tissue massage promotes the management, manipulation and rehabilitation of soft tissues of the body including muscles, ligaments and tendons.

Anyone can benefit from a Deep Tissue Massage at The Northern Integrative Health Practice in Sacriston, Durham - you do not have to be an athlete. Many office workers, manual labourers and those who like gardening, walking, jogging and many other pastimes can benefit. Their regular and repetitive activity, such as sitting at a desk or lifting heavy objects all day can result in slight muscle strains or stiffness which a massage can relieve and assist recovery.

Acupuncture is a method of encouraging the body to promote natural healing and to improve functioning. This is done by inserting needles and applying heat or electrical stimulation at very precise acupuncture points. We offer Acupressure without the use of needles if you're a bit squeamish!
