About Ms Lesley Dempsey

I am a Neuromuscular Therapist with over 20 years of experience helping clients reduce pain, restore movement, and improve their quality of life. I specialise in assessing and treating musculoskeletal pain, sports injuries, postural dysfunction, chronic pain, and stress-related muscular tension.

Every treatment is tailored to the individual, focusing not only on relieving symptoms but also on identifying and addressing the underlying cause of pain. My aim is to help clients recover effectively while providing practical advice to support long-term health and wellbeing.

Alongside Neuromuscular Therapy, I have additional qualifications in Oncology Massage, Auricular Acupuncture, and complementary therapies. 

More recently, I have also qualified as a Counselling Psychotherapist, giving me a deeper understanding of the connection between physical pain, stress, trauma, and emotional wellbeing.

I am committed to providing professional, compassionate care in a welcoming environment where every client feels listened to, supported, and empowered in their recovery.

An amazing neuromuscular treatment today with Lesley Dempsey. Very professional all well explained as to how the treatment would proceed from beginning to end. My body was in bad need of the treatment, I left feeling much lighter and feeling the benefit of the treatment. Also lesley offered her professional advice on some exercises and taping that would help me and also very informative especially with regard to an issue with my foot. I will be back again. I'd highly recommend Lesley the best in her field of expertise.

I brought my dog Zoe to lesley as my dog could not put her hind paw on the ground . Lesley gently worked on Zoe and explained Everything she was doing to me. By the time we were leaving Zoe could put her paw on the ground for seconds and by the time we got home she limping on it by the following morning Zoe was running around as normal . I would highly recommend Lesley and her treatments.

I found Lesley’s counselling demeanour to be both professional and calming. Her experience and knowledge of my situation was reassuring and I was very happy with the outcome. I also had a NMT session with her and was very impressed with her abilities. I found that the counselling a NMT work very well together would highly recommend this as an all round holistic/professional approach .

I went to her with a hurt arm but she did a body assessment and found many other issues with my muscles. She explained as she went what she doing and where it was connecting to. After care and check in was an added bonus.. Highly recommend
