SCIATICA — IT’S MORE THAN JUST A SORE BACK

Sciatica can cause pain, aching, tingling or numbness that travels from the lower back or buttock and down the leg.

And while it can be tempting to just massage where it hurts, the painful area isn't necessarily where the problem starts.

Muscle tension and restricted movement around the lower back, hips and glutes may contribute to how you feel, which is why treatment needs to look at the bigger picture.

Depending on what we find, your session may incorporate:

✔ Deep Tissue Sports Massage
✔ Assisted Stretching
✔ IASTM
✔ Cupping
✔ Mobility work

The aim isn't to promise a quick fix — it's to help improve movement, address muscular tension and support you in getting back to moving more comfortably.

THERE'S NO ONE-SIZE-FITS-ALL TREATMENT HERE.

Two people can walk through the door complaining of exactly the same problem and need completely different approaches.

That's why your appointment isn't simply:

"Where does it hurt?" → massage that bit → see you later.

We'll talk about what's bothering you, what you do day-to-day, your training or activity and what you actually want to get from treatment.

From there, your session can incorporate the techniques that are appropriate for you.

Sports Massage.
Assisted Stretching.
IASTM.
Cupping.
Red Light Therapy.
Taping.

The tools may change.

The goal doesn't:

Move Better. Feel Better. Live Better.

⚠️ A QUICK NOTE ABOUT LYMPHATIC DRAINAGE

I've noticed a lot of places recently offering lymphatic drainage at very low prices.

Please, do your homework before booking.

There are countless online courses available where someone can complete a short course and receive a “certificate” without having any relevant prerequisite qualification or proper hands-on training.

Lymphatic drainage isn't just a relaxing massage. It involves working with your lymphatic system, and there are situations where treatment may not be appropriate.

Before booking, ask:

👉 What qualification do you hold?
👉 Was there a prerequisite qualification required?
👉 Was your training practical and assessed?
👉 Do you carry appropriate insurance?

Cheap doesn't always mean you've found a bargain.

When it comes to your body, it's absolutely okay to ask questions before deciding who treats you.

TIGHT CALVES? DON'T JUST BLAME YOUR CALVES.

If your calves constantly feel tight after running, walking or training, stretching them harder isn't always the answer.

Calf tightness can be influenced by your training load, ankle mobility, footwear, recovery and how the rest of your lower body is moving.

That's why treatment isn't simply about attacking the sore spot.

We look at what's going on and tailor the session around your body.

Sports Massage, IASTM, Assisted Stretching and other techniques can then be incorporated where appropriate.

Especially for runners — permanently tight calves don't have to be accepted as part of the hobby!

Move Better. Feel Better. Live Better.

RECOVERY DOESN'T ONLY HAPPEN ON THE MASSAGE TABLE

What you do between appointments matters too.

A few basics that are easy to overlook:

💧 Stay hydrated
🚶 Keep moving
😴 Prioritise your sleep
🤸 Add some mobility into your day
🍽 Fuel your body properly
🛑 Don't train through every ni**le

You don't need a complicated recovery routine.

Consistency with the basics will beat doing everything perfectly once in a blue moon.

And if something doesn't feel right, don't wait until it stops you doing what you love.

Move Better. Feel Better. Live Better.

YOU STRETCH... BUT ARE YOU ACTUALLY GETTING ANYWHERE?

We've all done it.

Quick hamstring stretch.
Count to ten.
Other leg.
Done. 😂

Assisted Stretching is a little different.

By working with you through controlled stretches, we can target areas that feel tight or restricted and work on improving your range of movement.

It can be particularly useful if you:

✔ Train regularly
✔ Feel constantly stiff
✔ Struggle with flexibility
✔ Spend hours sitting
✔ Want to improve your mobility

And it can be incorporated alongside your Deep Tissue Sports Massage where appropriate.

You don't need to be able to touch your toes before you come in. Promise.

Move Better. Feel Better. Live Better.
