Diagnosed with sciatica and don’t know what it means or why you have it? There’s more to it than just the pain you are feeling.
Sciatica is the symptom, not the cause. To actually fix your sciatica, you need to identify the root cause and work on that area.
To accurately diagnose and treat you, a physiotherapist or osteopath assessment is essential.
Don’t wait it out! Waiting it out may lessen the sciatica symptoms, but you will NOT fix the root cause. This means your risk of recurrent or chronic sciatica is high!

Dealing with pain in the back of your hip or upper thigh? 🦵 You might be experiencing proximal hamstring tendinopathy - a condition that affects the hamstring tendons where they attach near your hip bone.

This injury commonly occurs in runners, dancers, and athletes who perform repetitive kicking or sprinting movements. The pain typically worsens with sitting, stretching, or climbing stairs.

At Aligned Therapies our expert team specializes in diagnosing and treating this challenging condition. We use evidence-based approaches including targeted exercises, manual therapy, and progressive loading programs to help you get back to your active lifestyle. 💪

Don't let hamstring pain hold you back from doing what you love! Early intervention is key to preventing chronic issues and ensuring optimal recovery.

Are you tired of that constant "just in case" bathroom routine? 🚽 You know the one - rushing to the toilet before leaving the house, even when you don't really need to go! This habit might seem harmless, but it can actually train your bladder to empty when it's not full.

At Aligned Therapies we understand how these patterns can impact your daily life and confidence. Breaking the "just in case" cycle is an important step toward better bladder health and freedom.

Your bladder is designed to hold urine until it's appropriately full - trust your body's natural signals! 💪 Instead of preemptive trips, listen to what your body is actually telling you. This simple change can help retrain your bladder and reduce those urgent feelings throughout the day.

Ready to take control of your bladder health? Let's work together to build healthier habits that give you back your confidence and peace of mind! ✨

After welcoming your little one, your body deserves all the care and support it can get! 💕 Postpartum compression underwear isn't just about comfort – it's about helping your body heal and recover properly.

These specially designed undergarments provide gentle, targeted support to your abdominal muscles and pelvic area during the crucial recovery period. They help reduce swelling, improve circulation, and give your core the stability it needs as your body gradually returns to its pre-pregnancy state.

At Aligned Therapies we understand that every new mama's journey is unique. Compression underwear can also help with posture support, reduce back pain, and boost your confidence as you navigate those precious early weeks with your baby. 🤱

The gentle pressure helps your uterus contract back to its normal size while providing comfort during daily activities. Whether you're recovering from a natural birth or C-section, the right compression wear can make a significant difference in how you feel each day.

Remember, taking care of yourself isn't selfish – it's essential! Your recovery matters just as much as caring for your new bundle of joy. ✨

Which one is broken — A, B, or C? 🤔

Most people guess wrong.

Because here’s the truth… Bruising doesn’t tell the full story.

We regularly see:

• Big bruises that aren’t fractures
• Small bruises that are
• Injuries that get worse because people wait too long

That’s exactly why we created our Urgent Sports Injury Clinic.

If you’ve had:

🏃 A fall
⚽ A twist
🚴 A sporting injury
🐎 A horse-related accident

…and you’re unsure what to do — get it checked early.

Same-day appointments available.

Drop your guess below 👇 A, B, or C

Sick of doing the same boring glute bridges? Try rolling bridges instead! The aim of this exercise is to move each spinal segment individually as you roll up and down your bridge. When you first try these, you might notice that your movement is a bit clunky and you move in big blocks of your spine, but don’t worry, the more you practice, the more fluid it will get! This type of bridge uses your pelvic floor and deep core muscles to control the spine movement and the glutes to drive height.
Give these a go and see how your spine rolls!
