Sciatica can be a challenge, but many flare-ups are made worse by everyday habits.

Things like sitting too long, aggressively stretching irritated nerves, or avoiding movement completely can keep the sciatic nerve irritated.

The goal isn’t to stop moving - it’s to move in a way that helps calm the system down. Walking, reducing tension in the glutes, and restoring strength through the hips and core can make a big difference over time.

Small adjustments early can help be proactive against bigger flare-ups later and help keep you moving more comfortably.

Coach Mercedes and I talk about a simple but powerful tool many people overlook - your breathing

When life gets busy and stressful, your body can stay stuck in a “fight or flight” mode. Learning how to breathe properly may help shift you back toward your parasympathetic nervous system, the state where recovery, healing, and better regulation happen.

In this video, Coach Mercedes demonstrates 360 breathing using a Pilates ball to help you feel expansion through your ribs, back, and core.

This type of breathing encourages better core/pelvic floor engagement and helps calm the system. It only takes a few minutes, but practiced regularly it can make a meaningful difference in how you move and function throughout the day.

Pregnancy brings incredible changes to the body - but one thing many people overlook is the spine and nervous system.

As posture shifts, ligaments loosen, and the center of gravity changes, the body is constantly adapting. Supporting healthy spinal movement during this time may help the spine and nervous system coordinate those changes more effectively.

Corrective chiropractic during pregnancy isn’t just about discomfort - it’s about helping the body move, adapt, and function well through each stage.

Pregnancy is one of the most important times to support your body… and one of the most important times to have your spine & nervous system checked.

If bringing your arm overhead feels uncomfortable, tight, or weak consider this...

Many people assume it’s simply a “shoulder problem,” but often the issue is that some of the smaller stabilizing muscles around the shoulder blade aren’t doing their job well as well as they could be.

When those muscles aren’t pulling their weight, the shoulder joint has to compensate - and that’s when irritation can show up.

The good news?

With a few simple strength and activation exercises, you can often improve how your shoulder moves and your comfort level. Small adjustments in how the shoulder blade and rotator cuff work together can make a big difference.

Check out the slides for a few simple ideas to start improving your overhead movement.

If you want to use your glutes better, start with the basics. Coach Mercedes and I talk about how everyday movement patterns like the hip hinge are key.

When you hinge well, your glutes, hips and low back share the load better.

Once you’ve practiced the hinge, progress it with single-leg work to build better control, balance, and strength through the hips.

A simple way to practice?

Use it during a standing desk break, or include it in your warm-up at the gym before your main lifts.

These small reps throughout the day help retrain the pattern so your glutes show up when you need them most.

Coach Mercedes and I talked about something that often gets overlooked: you don’t actually heal and adapt during the workout - it happens after, during the recovery phase.

The workout is the stimulus.

It breaks tissue down and sends the signal for your body to get stronger.

But the real rebuilding - laying down new tissue and repairing what was stressed - happens when you rest and recover.

If you’re spending all that effort in the gym, you might as well give your body the building blocks it needs to recover properly. One of the simplest and most effective things you can do is make sure you’re eating enough protein.

Protein supports repair, recovery, and strength adaptations.

Think of it as helping to protect the investment you just made with your workout. Train hard, recover well, and fuel your body so it can come back stronger.

If your low back keeps flaring up - consider this. Most flare-ups are the result of small changes that build over time - reduced hip rotation, glutes firing late, and the load quietly increasing from training, stress, or long sitting hours.

Your back often tightens because it’s compensating.

Before stretching harder or shutting down your workouts, check the system first. Things that you can help do on your own - restore hip motion, retrain glute timing, and adjust your load slightly. Small corrections early can prevent bigger flare-ups later.

Flare-ups are feedback - not failure. Listen sooner.

And consider the health of your nervous system and spine. If your spine is shifted and the nerves are irritated - it’s important to test so that you can find out. This is often the X-Factor I see in the office. The system we help work better so that you can function and perform better!
