Here is a great picture to illustrate where the sciatic nerve is.

This is a great visual aid for those who have had sciatica. Sciatica is a term used for when the nerve gets impinged. There are two main places, either where the nerves come out of the spinal column between the vertebrae or in the Piriformis muscles which lies deep under the glutes.

Those that have had Sciatica know all too well how horrible it is and those of us who have not had it hope not to.... however, did you know Sport Therapy can help??

Interesting read for over your morning coffee 😊

Touch can be used as a tool for communicating empathy, even resulting in an analgesic, painkilling effect. To combat loneliness, let’s set up coffee dates instead of screen time

What are the benefits of a massage??
Well some are listed in the picture, massage is not just for a pamper, a good deep tissue Sport massage can help in many ways both physically and mentally.

Who is Sport Therapy for?
Many people ask me this, often because people think as they are not elite athletes then they dont need Sport Therapy. Well let me tell you a secret - Sport Therapy is for everyone!
Most people can benefit from a good sport massage, sometimes its because they have been training hard on a sport or in the gym, but more often its because they have life stress factors playing havoc with their body. These could be
✔working at a desk
✔stress
✔extended periods in the same position
✔lifting heavy items (little ones included)
✔postural faults
✔various job related issues
To name a few, the list goes on.
Sport Therapy is for everyone from hobby athletes, to mothers, to grandparents and everyone in between. Some see it as a treat every few months, others come to me for their regular 'MOT', and some will need my help to rehabilitate post op or injury.
Whatever the reason the benefits are numerous.

If i haven't covered it in the post and you are unsure if Sport Therapy will help you, get in touch and we can have a chat about how ypu could benefit.

Happy Monday and lets strive to be A BETTER YOU xx

😊💪

What is a hot stone massage?

I was asked this question earlier, so i thought i would write a quick post to answer...
A hot stone massage is a massage performed using heated stones such as in the picture.
These are basalt lava stones. They are smooth to the touch and heated in a waterbath.
The stones are used to perform the massage, they become an extension of the therapists hand.

What are the benefits of hot stone massage?

The main benefit comes from the heat. This relaxes the muscles and increases the blood flow to the area being massaged via vaso-dilation. For the client this means that a deeper massage can be achieved quicker making the treatment more efficient, and the stones give a more luxurious feel.
I use the shapes of the stones to get to deeper areas, to provide a more thorough and effective treatment.
Many of my clients report a very restful nights sleep post treatment, I believe this is because of the relaxation felt from the hot stones, even when performing a deep tissue sport massage.
Sport Massage can be used to help reduce aches and pains, increase relaxation, improve mobility, provide micro stretching, aid in performance as well as giving a general feeling of well being - because you are worth it!

A better you.
