Our acupuncture clinic in Bedford Town Centre is easy to find for clients coming from Shefford. We’re only a 20-minute drive from Shefford, or a little longer by public transport. Car parking is available outside our clinic, and Queen Street Multi-Storey car park is less than 50 metres away.

Our therapy sessions use a combination of deep tissue massage, facilitated stretching and various forms of soft tissue manipulation that work to release trigger points deep into the muscles, tendons and ligaments. This helps to stretch and loosen tight, overworked and injured muscle fibres and other soft tissue such as fascia. Exercises may also be prescribed as part of the treatment process. Strengthening the muscles weakened by your injury will help ensure a speedier recovery.
Sports massage isn’t only for those who play or have been injured in sports. Sports massage is very effective at treating most forms of back, neck and shoulder pain, as well as knee pain, headaches, sprained ankles and repetitive strain injury. If you enjoy a firmer massage, sports massage could be a great, relaxing alternative for you.
