Hi everyone,
Big announcement on it’s way. Will tell you more later today!!!!
In other news, I was chatting to a fellow practitioner yesterday about how I seemed to have become an expert in buttock massage.
Sciatic nerve pain is nasty. It’s a sharp, burning, aching pain that starts at your buttock and runs all the way down to your knee and possibly your foot. Makes getting in and out of the car difficult and sometimes even walking is a challenge. The majority of my pregnant clients have sciatic nerve pain from postural changes, relaxin (pregnancy hormone) flowing and just the weight of the uterus but also my non pregnant clients seems to have this pain too. Is it because we sit at the computer far too long? Do we not stretch and walk around as much as we should?
The techniques I use are really effective, a little painful during treatment, but worth it. I know this because they’re the same techniques used on me when I have sciatic nerve pain (whilst pregnant and now). Other options for when you can’t get a massage quickly are heat packs, very gentle stretching, and laying flat with your leg straight. Maintaining your pelvic floor muscle exercises is a great preventative measure and all women should do this anyway.
It’s always a good idea to have any long lasting pain checked by your doctor.
So until the big announcement. Have fun.
Em.
