Exercise from the Inside Out
Often times in Physiotherapy, we see a lot of cheaters. Cheaters are individuals who use the wrong muscles to complete an exercise or task. This is because the body has the tendency to ‘like to cheat’, in other words the body will automatically carry out the activity the easiest way. In physiotherapy we call them compensatory patterns.
Prevention of Sciatica
A common diagnosis we see with patients being referred to us by doctors is sciatica. Sciatica is pain that originates in your lower back and travels down your leg sometimes reaching to your foot. This pain is caused when your sciatic nerve is irritated, inflammed or compressed. Sciatica can last days, weeks or even months. The chances of getting sciatica increases with age. Sciatica can be debilitating, good news is there are ways to prevent it!
