🌟 What is Sciatica? 🌟

Ever felt a sharp pain shooting from your lower back down your leg? That could be sciatica.

Sciatica isn’t a condition by itself—it’s a symptom of irritation or compression of the sciatic nerve, the largest nerve in the body. This nerve runs from the lower back, through the hips, buttocks, and down each leg.

👣 How it feels:

●Pain that travels down one leg
●Tingling sensation or “pins and needles”
●Numbness or weakness in the leg
●Pain that worsens when you sit for long or when you cough/sneeze
●Burning sensation in the foot

💡 Did you know?

Most people with sciatica improve with conservative care such as physiotherapy, exercise, and lifestyle changes. Early treatment can prevent long-term issues and restore normal mobility.

🔹 Understanding the “Spondys” of the Spine

In spine health, you’ll often hear the term “spondy-”, which comes from the Greek word spondylos meaning vertebra. But not all “spondys” mean the same thing. Each points to a very specific condition affecting the spinal column:

✅ Spondylosis – Age-related “wear and tear” of the spine. Think of it as spinal arthritis, leading to stiffness, pain, and sometimes nerve compression.

✅ Spondylitis – Inflammation of the vertebrae, most commonly seen in conditions like Ankylosing Spondylitis. It causes persistent back stiffness (especially in the morning), and in severe cases, fusion of the spine.

✅ Spondylolysis – A stress fracture in part of the vertebra, often affecting young athletes. It may cause localized low back pain that worsens with activity.

✅ Spondylolisthesis – When one vertebra slips forward over the one below it. This can irritate nerves, leading to back pain, leg pain, or sciatica.

💡 Why does this matter?
Early recognition is key. While the names sound similar, each “spondy” requires a different approach to treatment — from physiotherapy and exercise rehabilitation, to medical management or in rare cases, surgery.

As physiotherapists, we play a crucial role in:

*Pain management
*Restoring mobility
*Preventing progression
*Empowering patients with movement strategies tailored to their condition

📢 At Flexfit Physio, we believe that knowledge is the first step toward recovery. If you’ve been told you have a “spondy,” remember: understanding which one it is makes all the difference in your journey to restoring, recovering, and reviving your spine health.

🌍 World Physiotherapy Day 2025 🌍

This year’s theme shines a light on Healthy Aging — highlighting the critical role physiotherapy plays in helping older adults maintain independence, mobility, and confidence.

At Flexfit Physio, we believe aging should not mean losing quality of life. Physiotherapy interventions are proven to:
✔️ Improve balance and strength
✔️ Prevent falls and related injuries
✔️ Manage chronic conditions effectively
✔️ Support independence in daily activities

Falls are one of the leading causes of injury among older adults — yet with the right physiotherapy approach, many are preventable. Through tailored exercise programs, education, and movement strategies, we empower individuals to age well and live stronger, safer, and healthier lives.

Our vision remains simple yet powerful: Restore. Recover. Revive.

🤝 On this World Physiotherapy Day, we call on healthcare partners, organizations, and communities to join us in promoting healthy aging and fall prevention. Together, we can build a future where every step is safe and confident.

Whether you’re an office worker struggling with posture or chronic pain, a mum recovering from pregnancy, or an active sportsperson, experiencing pain in any form can seriously disrupt your everyday life. When pain prevents us from enjoying the activities we love, completing work, and spending time with family, it not only affects our physical health, but has flow-on effects to our mental wellbeing too. From those niggling pains to more serious injuries, seeing a physiotherapist can provide relief and prevent ongoing complications.
