Assessment
In-depth listening, hands-on screening, and digital measurement reveal every contributor to your symptoms.
Are you tired of waiting for tingling, numbness, or buzzing pain to vanish on its own? Discover expert, hands-on care in Crawley that’s tailored to your needs, helping you move confidently and live free from nerve discomfort—starting at your very first visit.
You want to reclaim ease of movement, steady hands, restful sleep, and renewed trust in your own body. Crawley Physio Clinic understands how pins & needles sensations can undermine each of these—disrupting work, sport, or everyday moments you used to take for granted.
Therapy for pins & needles bridges symptom relief and full-body restoration: it’s not simply about making discomfort fade, but about restoring the flow of movement, sensation, and confidence in your body’s ability to recover. We start with the root—listening to your story, mapping out how pain shows up, and linking everyday obstacles to clinical findings, so that every session moves you closer to lasting change.
Our clinicians use a blend of precise manual therapy, movement retraining, nerve gliding, and biomechanical correction—hands gently create space around compressed nerves, guided exercise reawakens safe pathways, and detailed feedback ensures you never feel lost or unheard.
Personalised care means your journey never feels like anyone else’s. You collaborate with a dedicated team, and together, each movement and milestone signals real progress and hope for what’s next.
Your pathway to healing is built on options chosen for you, not from a script. We combine discipline, innovation, and evidence to deliver care at every stage, for every nerve and muscle challenge.

We sit with you, listen, and co-create goals that guide each step, making recovery collaborative and genuinely achievable.

Effective results stem from a symphony of techniques, each calibrated for your body and goals. Sessions may combine joint mobilisation, soft tissue release, proprioceptive retraining, and movement analysis to address restricted nerve pathways and reset muscle memory.
Every tool in our kit is selected with your feedback in mind—nothing is done to you, everything is done with you. Treatment plans flex from session to session, blending precision manual therapy, advanced modalities (like dry needling or neuromuscular re-education), ergonomic retraining, hydrotherapy (where helpful), and lifestyle coaching to create a layered, comprehensive plan.
The art lies in knowing which approach—gentle mobilisation, active loading, or protective adaptation—serves you best at every phase.
Real recovery happens when your body learns, adapts, and regains trust step by step.
From workplace aches to sports injuries, our therapy supports a spectrum where nerve irritation and movement loss disrupt daily life.
This includes:
Whatever your diagnosis or if you’re “undiagnosed but still uncomfortable,” you’ll find a protocol here mapped to your situation.
Access should never be an obstacle. We accept NHS referrals and are recognised by leading health insurers such as BUPA, AXA, AVIVA, Vitality, WPA, and Cigna. Whether you arrive through a GP, directly, or your workplace, everything is transparent—your care, your choice, your pace.
Therapy at Crawley Physio Clinic focuses on freedom from:
Unlock resilience with outcomes that reach far beyond symptom relief.
Begin by feeling your pain fade—a sense of “normal” returns to each movement. Flexibility and strength build, day-to-day activities become easier and more conscious, and fear of re-injury fades as mobility grows.
Together, these pillars rewrite both your symptom and fitness story—so you not only recover but reclaim what matters.
Clinical data and our own patient results show our blended approach leads to quicker, more sustainable relief compared to single-modality care.
Discover expert physiotherapy services tailored to your unique needs. From pain relief to improved mobility, our dedicated team is here to help.
Every patient at Crawley Physio Clinic receives not just attention, but deep clinical investigation. Each step—assessment, protocol creation, delivery, and review—is scrutinized for accuracy, personalisation, and relevance. You’re never a number on a chart.
Your journey begins with root-cause diagnostics: hands-on testing, structural mapping, and a review that connects your symptoms to actions, patterns, and potential blocks.

We chart milestones together, making every phase transparent. Your feedback actively steers the plan.
We reward discharge with education and check-ins. Continuity of care, not one-off results, defines our mission.

After a session that targets nerve irritation or tingling sensations, what you experience is unique to your body and the precision of the therapy provided. Most people report subtle shifts even after the first visit. You might notice warmth, a mild “reset” effect in the treated area, or sometimes slight fatigue in muscles that haven’t moved this freely in a while. Sensory changes, such as fading tingling, gentle “buzzing,” or a lightness in a previously numb limb, are signs that your neural pathways are responding. This is your nervous system recalibrating: improved circulation, eased neural restrictions, and new patterns taking root.
When your nerves are released, the absent feeling you feared often gives way to cautious optimism—and then real, lasting comfort.
In the hours following hands-on nerve mobilisation or movement restoration:
You shouldn’t expect severe or spreading pain. If numbness travels into new areas, becomes intense, or your hand/foot changes color or temperature, let your therapist know immediately. These rare events may reflect unrelated vascular or neural complications and deserve swift evaluation. Otherwise, short-lived changes after a session are signals of adaptation, not setback.
Not all changes are instant. Pay attention across several days:
By observing functional progress rather than just symptoms, you help your provider target the most effective elements in your ongoing plan.
Every outcome—relief, mild recurrence, freedom of movement—tells us something useful. Your comfort, independence, and confidence as you go about your daily life become the long-term measure of the session’s value. Think in terms of regained possibilities, not just short-term numbness reduction.
When you activate nerves or bring new movement to long-resisted tissues, the body sometimes reacts with increased sensitivity. Nerves that have been compressed, stuck, or “asleep” may send stronger signals once unfettered. This uptick is not regression but an expected step in normal healing: the neural system is processing change, confirming that therapy is breaking through previous barriers.
Reperfusion and Nerve Reawakening
Bringing circulation and movement back to a compressed nerve is like flicking on a light in a dark room—everything is more vivid at first. Blood flow, immune cell shifts, and a cascade of reactivated neural signals explain the temporary “buzz.”
Sensory Adaptation
Nerves communicate more robustly as restrictions ease. This may surface as throbbing, tingling, or even awkward buzzing, especially if a nerve has been entrapped for an extended period.
Paradox of Improved Use
As your strength and coordination return, you may unconsciously test boundaries—picking up heavier objects, typing faster, or walking longer distances. These functional leaps can unmask previously untested capacities, briefly resetting the balance between “too much” and “just right.”
Nerve gliding (also known as neural mobilization or neurodynamics) targets the smooth, uncompromised movement of nerves through muscles, joints, and connective tissue. When nerves lose the ability to slide, their health, signaling speed, and tolerance for movement reduce, leading to persistent tingling, numbing, or hypersensitive spots.
Sliding Instead of Stretching
Nerve gliding is not about yanking a nerve to its physical limit. Instead, it orchestrates controlled sliding so the nerve can adjust under daily loads—think of flossing a delicate wire through a sleeve, not tugging at both ends.
Re-educating the Nervous System
By consistently moving nerves in a symptom-free range, you build confidence in your body, training both brain and tissue that movement won’t trigger alarm signals. This process interrupts the cycle of chronic tingling that often lingers after injury or repetitive strain.
Nerve gliding is most effective when combined with:
As the nerve reclaim its full excursion, the risk of recurrent symptoms falls, particularly if you maintain good mechanics and adapt your daily routine accordingly.
