What Is a Disc Herniation
&
How Can You Recover?
A disc herniation (often called a “slipped disc”) happens when one of the soft cushions between the bones in your spine pushes out of place. This can cause pain, numbness, or weakness, often radiating down the arms or legs — and it can feel pretty scary at first.
But here’s the good news: a disc herniation doesn’t have to mean a lifetime of pain or limitation. 🙌
At Smart Recovery, we help people every week who’ve been told they have a herniated disc — and we see them return to the activities they love, pain-free and stronger than before.
🧠 What Can Help?
✅ Sports Massage Therapy:
Targeted massage helps release tight muscles that may be adding pressure on the spine, improves circulation, and supports the body’s natural healing process.
✅ Movement & Strengthening:
Once pain levels are under control, carefully guided strengthening and mobility work helps stabilise the spine, reduce the chance of flare-ups, and restore confidence in movement.
✅ Consistency & Support:
Recovery takes patience — but with the right hands-on care, education, and movement plan, you can absolutely live a full, active life again.
If you’ve been diagnosed with a disc herniation, don’t lose hope. There’s life — and strength — after pain. 💪
