A Stroud physiotherapy clinic is promoting a free educational workshop for people living with diabetic neuropathy, focusing on practical ways to manage symptoms and protect day-to-day comfort.
Ed Voss Physio says the session will take place at 10.30am on Saturday, October 17, at its clinic at Unit 9, New Mills, Libbys Drive, Stroud, GL5 1RN. The supplied article was published on October 12, 2026, and presents the workshop date in that publication context.

Advice on managing diabetic neuropathy
The clinic’s material describes diabetic neuropathy as a condition that can involve tingling, numbness and burning sensations. It says these symptoms can affect sleep, mood and confidence when walking, while also arguing that people may be able to improve their comfort by taking an active approach to management.
Blood sugar control is presented as the starting point. The clinic advises people to work closely with their GP or diabetes team, saying that controlling blood sugar remains important for slowing nerve irritation. This is described as part of a broader plan rather than a standalone solution.
Regular movement is another part of the advice. The material recommends gentle activity such as walking, cycling and swimming, and says this can improve circulation to nerves affected by the condition. It presents consistent, manageable activity as one of the areas people can influence in their daily routine.
Foot care is also highlighted. The clinic recommends checking the feet every day, wearing shoes that fit properly and dealing with small problems before they become more serious. The guidance describes these measures as basic but important groundwork for people experiencing neuropathy symptoms.
Clinic outlines Stimpod treatment
Alongside advice about blood sugar, movement and foot care, Ed Voss Physio discusses Stimpod as an option for managing discomfort. The clinic describes it as targeted nerve stimulation therapy applied directly to affected nerves, with the aim of calming the signals associated with burning, tingling or numbness.
According to the clinic, the treatment is non-invasive and does not involve medication. Its material says that, during a course of sessions, people may notice a change in the intensity of their symptoms. The examples given include being able to sleep through the night and feeling steadier while walking to the shops.
The clinic makes clear that it does not present Stimpod as a cure for diabetic neuropathy. Instead, it describes the therapy as one possible part of a wider approach involving blood sugar management, regular movement and appropriate foot care.
The treatment descriptions and reported benefits come from the clinic’s own promotional material. The source article is labelled “Paid-for promotion”, and the claims have not been independently verified in the supplied information. Anyone considering treatment or seeking advice about symptoms should discuss their individual circumstances with an appropriate healthcare professional.
