What actually happens in your body during acupuncture? We get asked this a lot, so here it is in plain English.

When the needles go in, they stimulate nerves in your skin and muscle. Those nerves send signals to your spinal cord and brain, and your body often starts to shift out of “on alert” mode and into “rest and recover”.

As you rest, your body releases endorphins, its own natural pain relief, and blood flow increases around the areas being treated. Many people feel a deep, heavy calm. Some even drift off.

In Traditional Chinese Medicine, acupuncture is about helping Qi and Blood flow freely.

Modern research points to the nervous system. NICE guidance also includes acupuncture as an option for some long-term pain and headaches.
Nervous about needles? That’s really common. They’re fine, sterile and single-use, and most people barely feel them go in.

Physio or sports therapist? It’s one of the questions we get asked most.
There’s lots of overlap. Both can assess, diagnose and treat injuries. The difference is focus.
A physio works with all kinds of pain and movement problems, sport or not. Think a bad back, rehab after surgery, or a long-term condition that affects how you move.
A sports therapist specialises in active people and sport injuries. The aim isn’t just pain-free, it’s back to full speed.
At Joint Health Space we have both under one roof. You don’t need to work out who to book. Send us a message, tell us what’s going on, and we’ll point you to the right person.

Think you know what an osteopath does? Most people only know half of it.

Osteopaths don’t just treat back pain. They help with neck and shoulder pain, joint pain, sciatica, sports injuries and headaches that start in the neck.

And no, it’s not all cracking. Most techniques are gentle, like stretching, soft tissue work and small joint movements. Clicking is just one option, and only if it suits you.

“Osteopath” is also a protected title in the UK. Every osteopath is degree-trained and registered with the General Osteopathic Council.

Best bit? You don’t need a GP referral. You can book straight in with us at Joint Health Space.

Our osteopath is also covered by Paycare and other medical health providers too.

Not sure if osteopathy is right for you? Send us a message and we’ll point you to the right person.

Hi, I’m Olivia!

Im a registered physiotherapist and Level 4 sports massage therapist, and have recently graduated from Sheffield Hallam University earlier this year.

Alongside my role at Joint Health Space, I also work at a private physiotherapy clinic in Huddersfield, where I work with individuals experiencing a variety of different conditions and injuries.

My main interests are MSK and sports rehabilitation, shaped by my own background in sport. Having competed in both swimming and running, I understand how frustrating it can be when pain or injury stops you doing the things you love.

I also have a real passion for neurological rehabilitation. I love the personal side of physio, getting to know each person and finding ways to make their rehabilitation meaningful to them.

For me, physiotherapy is about more than just treating symptoms. It’s about getting to know you, understanding your goals and finding an approach that works for your lifestyle.

Whether you’re recovering from an injury, struggling with ongoing aches and pains or looking to get back to doing what you love, I’m here to help!

📍 Based at Joint Health Space, Mansfield
I look forward to meeting you!

Sports therapist or sports massage therapist? They sound the same, but they’re not.

A sports therapist is trained to assess and diagnose injuries, treat them hands-on and build your rehab plan. A sports massage therapist focuses on recovery and keeping your muscles feeling good.

So if you’re tight and training hard, massage is great. If something hurts and won’t settle, you need someone who can find out why.

Here’s the good news. At Joint Health Space, every sports massage is done by a qualified sports therapist or a registered physiotherapist.

So while you’re on the couch, they’re also checking how things move. If something needs more than a massage, they’ll spot it and tell you what to do next.

One booking. Clinical eyes on every session.
