Treatments at Ando Wellness

Injury, Rehabilitation & Musculoskeletal Care in Liverpool

At Ando Wellness, treatments are selected based on assessment and clinical reasoning - not from a fixed menu. Our focus is on reducing pain, restoring movement, and supporting long-term recovery.

We combine physiotherapy, rehabilitation, and targeted treatment modalities where appropriate, including medical laser therapy, massage, acupuncture, and manual techniques.

Treatments

Physiotherapy

Physiotherapy forms the foundation of care at Ando Wellness. Every treatment plan begins with a detailed assessment to understand the cause of symptoms and how they affect movement and function.

Physiotherapy may involve:

Movement and functional assessment
Targeted rehabilitation exercises
Joint and soft tissue techniques
Sports, deep tissue, or remedial massage
Medical laser therapy when appropriate
Advice on activity, training, and load management

Treatment is structured and outcome-focused, aiming for meaningful improvement rather than short-term relief.

Medical Laser Therapy

Medical laser therapy is used to support pain modulation and tissue sensitivity, particularly where pain is limiting movement or rehabilitation.

Laser therapy works through photobiomodulation, where light energy is absorbed by cells to support ATP production and cellular activity. This can help create a more favourable environment for tissue recovery.

Laser therapy is not used in isolation and is only offered following physiotherapy assessment as part of a structured treatment programme.

Laser therapy may be helpful for:

Tendon pain
Joint pain
Muscle pain
Persistent or recurring flare-ups
Pain-dominant musculoskeletal conditions

Sports and deep tissue massage

Sports and deep tissue massage focus on reducing muscle tension, improving movement, and supporting recovery.

Massage may be used as:

A standalone treatment
Part of physiotherapy
A complement to rehabilitation

Techniques are selected based on individual needs, activity levels, and symptoms.

Manual Lymphatic Drainage massage

Manual lymphatic drainage is a gentle technique designed to support lymphatic flow and reduce fluid build-up.

It may be suitable for:

Swelling or fluid retention
Post-injury or post-surgical recovery
Heaviness or discomfort in limbs

Treatment is light, rhythmic, and adapted to individual needs.

Facial Muscle Medical Massage (TMJ Relief)

Facial muscle medical massage focuses on the muscles involved in jaw movement rather than cosmetic or skin-based treatments.

This treatment may involve external and intra-oral techniques and may help with:

Jaw (TMJ) pain
Facial muscle tension
Teeth clenching or grinding-related discomfort
Tension-related headaches

This is a medical, muscle-focused treatment and may be combined with physiotherapy when appropriate.

Acupuncture (Musculoskeletal Focus)

Acupuncture at Ando Wellness is focused on musculoskeletal pain and movement-related conditions.

It may be used to support:

Pain modulation
Muscle relaxation
Nervous system regulation

Acupuncture is delivered by a physiotherapist and integrated into rehabilitation when appropriate.

Dry Cupping

Dry cupping is used as an adjunct technique within physiotherapy, massage, or rehabilitation sessions.

It may help with:

Muscle tension
Local sensitivity
Movement restriction

Cupping is not offered as a standalone service and is applied selectively as part of a wider treatment approach.
