Do you have a pain in the bum? Do you have 'sciatica'?


What's Inside

Dear Reader

Sciatic pain is literally a pain in the butt! But it can also radiate down your leg. This is common and something we treat on a weekly basis.

You might have a pain in your bum, lower back, the back of your leg, your foot and toes. The sensation can feel like stabbing, burning or shooting, tingling – like pins and needles, numb And you might have a weakness on one side. Many people say 'I have sciatica' which is a term I don't like and disagree with as it's a symptom, a pain rather than the cause.

Read our recent article - 4 Ways to get Rid of Sciatic Pain and try our video below, I'd love to hear how you get on.

Prevention

Don't stop, often when our pain begins to feel better, we stop doing the things that worked and then say 'aw that didn't work' I'm still doing ALL the things that helped me recovery from hip surgery from KCR, to yoga practices, to recovery techniques. You might not have to do them as frequently as during your initial recovery but you still have to do some maintenance to prevent the pain from recurring.

Dear Reader The Countdown is On! Four weeks until the Nations Massage Tournament in Paris and honestly I don’t feel ready so this week I’m in preparation mode. We’ve had family visiting from Australia for the past few weeks so it's been full but lovely catching up. Last week I was writing press releases, blog posts, updating our Google listing, tidying up profiles so that if anyone does go looking for us, they can actually find us. Not the glamorous part of running a business, but it needs...

Dear Reader We've just had a weekend in Millport for my Dad's 70th. Paddleboarding, swimming, cycling, walking, we were outside nearly the whole time and everyone came home tired in a good way. The raft race was on, which was brilliant to watch, and we found a few fishing spots for my Dad. I needed it. I've been running on Basal for weeks while Kev had shingles, most likely below Basal, if I'm honest. This week is the first normal one I've had in a while, so I'm back to Tend. (If you missed...

Dear Reader This week in the clinic, I found myself smiling because I heard something I hear almost every week. "I've bought a new mattress." "I've tried orthopaedic insoles." "I've got one of those massage guns." "I even changed my office chair." Honestly, if I had £1 for every client who told me they'd bought a new mattress, ergonomic chair, pillow, insoles or massage gun in the hope it would fix their back pain... I'd probably be writing this newsletter from a beach somewhere. Now, before...
