When to get assessed...

If pain is shooting down the leg, interrupting sleep, or stopping you from training or working, don’t wait it out. Early diagnosis tends to mean quicker improvement — and fewer repeat episodes.

Small habits, big difference...

Helpful everyday habits:

• Break up long sitting spells
• Warm up before running or sport
• Stretch hips after activity or long drives
• Strengthen glutes/core (think bridges, clams, side steps)
• Avoid prolonged leg-crossing
• Check footwear and desk ergonomics

Consistent, small changes reduce flare-ups.

What helps? Conservative care...

Most people improve with a simple plan:

• Gentle chiropractic adjustments to improve joint motion
• Soft-tissue release for tight muscles
• Targeted home exercises to strengthen glutes and core

We’ll tailor this to your needs, and may recommend massage or acupuncture if helpful.

Call 01256 466 266 to chat through options.

Signs to watch for...

Piriformis Syndrome can feel like:

• Deep ache in one buttock
• “Tight knot” in the glute
• Worse with sitting, squats, lunges or stairs
• Tingling or burning down the back of the thigh

Relief often comes when you lie flat or keep gently mobile. If symptoms persist, it’s worth getting checked.

"Not all sciatica is from the back"...

Back, buttock or leg pain often gets labelled “sciatica”. In many cases a small muscle deep in the buttock — the piriformis — is the real culprit. When it gets tight or irritated, it can press on the sciatic nerve and send pain down the leg.

If this sounds familiar, an assessment can pinpoint what’s driving your pain and how to calm it.

Simple wins that add up when you suffer from Fibromyalgia:

Small, consistent steps beat boom-and-bust days. Try:

• Gentle daily movement within your limits
• A regular sleep routine
• Stress-lowering habits you can keep
• Sticking with what’s helping (supplements or routines) unless advised otherwise

Consistency builds confidence — and confidence is part of recovery.

For tailored guidance, call 01256 466 266.

Spotting (and managing) flare ups of Fibromyalgia

Common triggers we hear about: overdoing it, high stress, poor sleep, and stopping what was working “because I felt better”.

If a flare-up hits: scale back activity, prioritise rest, return to the basics that help you, and check in for hands-on support if you need it.

Need help calming a flare? Call 01256 466 266.
