Conditions we address
We assess how symptoms, movement and everyday load connect before deciding on a suitable approach.
Sciatica describes symptoms associated with irritation of the sciatic nerve. You may feel pain, tingling, numbness or discomfort through the lower back, buttock or leg. Because similar symptoms can have different causes, assessment matters.
Long desk hours, training, stress and repeated movement can contribute to stiffness or pain. We consider the neck, shoulder blade, upper back and relevant movement patterns rather than focusing only on the most painful spot.
Manual therapy does not treat every cause of migraine. Where muscular tension or restricted movement appears relevant, we may work around the neck, upper back or jaw while monitoring your response. New, severe or unusual headaches require medical assessment.
For strains, overuse or restricted movement, treatment may support comfort and mobility as part of a sensible return to activity plan. We do not rush recovery or promise a fixed timeline before assessment.
We look at how stiffness, muscular tension, daily habits and movement may be influencing the problem. Techniques are selected for the individual, not applied as a routine.
Manual therapy is not suitable for every condition. If your symptoms suggest that medical investigation or another healthcare professional is more appropriate, we will advise you accordingly.
Care in practice
Techniques, pressure and positioning are adapted to the concern, the person and their comfort throughout the session.
Before your first visit
Armos is positioned as a manual therapy and movement focused recovery centre. We use manual techniques and movement guidance within our team’s training and scope. We do not present every therapist as a chiropractor or physiotherapist.
Massage or soft tissue work may form part of a session, but the purpose is broader: assessment, targeted manual therapy, mobility work, feedback and a recovery plan suited to the concern.
Not routinely. Manipulation may be considered only when appropriate and with your consent. We often use mobilisation, soft tissue work and other gentler methods.
Sometimes people notice improvement after one visit, but many conditions need continued work. The expected number of sessions depends on the problem, its duration, your response and what you do between visits.
