❤️‍🩹 What is Sciatica?
❤️‍🩹Pain caused by irritation or compression of the sciatic nerve
❤️‍🩹Often starts in the lower back or buttock
❤️‍🩹Can travel down the back of the thigh and leg
❤️‍🩹May cause sharp, burning or shooting pain
❤️‍🩹Sometimes causes tingling, numbness or weakness
❤️‍🩹Often affects one side

❤️‍🩹 What can help?
❤️‍🩹Keep gently moving – prolonged bed rest usually isn’t helpful
❤️‍🩹 Regular Massage can help reduce surrounding muscle tension and stiffness & manage
❤️ Stretching & mobility , gentle, appropriate exercises may improve movement
❤️Strength & rehab building the core, glutes and supporting muscles can improve function and reduce recurrence
❤️Gradual return to activity – rather than pushing through severe symptoms
❤️‍🩹Physiotherapy/medical assessment if symptoms are persistent, worsening or affecting strength

❤️‍🩹Massage doesn’t directly “release” a trapped sciatic nerve; it’s mainly useful for easing associated muscular tension and helping movement.

❤️‍🩹Seek urgent medical help for sciatica with new bladder/bowel problems, numbness around the groin/saddle area, or severe/worsening leg weakness.

🩷Vitamin D is especially important as we head into autumn and winter because we get much less UVB sunlight, so our skin makes less vitamin D. In the UK, the NHS advises considering a daily 10 microgram (400 IU) vitamin D supplement from October to March.

🩷 Why do we need Vitamin D?

🩷Helps the body absorb calcium and phosphate, supporting strong bones and teeth.
🩷Supports normal muscle function and strength.
🩷Helps the immune system work normally.
🩷Low levels can contribute to bone pain and muscle weakness.
🩷During autumn and winter, UK sunlight generally isn’t strong enough for us to make sufficient vitamin D through our skin.
🩷Vitamin D is found in foods such as oily fish, egg yolks and fortified foods, but it can be difficult to get enough from diet alone.

🩷 Wellness Wednesday – Are you getting enough Vitamin D? 🩷

As autumn approaches and the days get shorter, our bodies can’t rely on sunshine for all the vitamin D we need. Vitamin D plays an important role in healthy bones, muscles and immune function.

🩷From October to March, consider a daily 10 microgram (400 IU) vitamin D supplement to help keep your levels topped up

Small supplement – important vitamin!

2 of the clients in this video are working around existing injuries, and 1 other is working around a chronic condition.
Our clients tell us we are the most adaptive gym in Rochdale. Which is exactly what we aim to be.

Getting someone to feel tired and exhausted is the easiest thing in the world to do.
Getting someone performing at their best and fitting it around their ability is a craft we excel at.

Strength and performance is for everyone.
