😩 IT STARTED AS A SMALL PAIN IN MY LOWER BACK... THEN IT BEGAN SHOOTING DOWN MY LEG

Sound familiar?

You may be experiencing SCIATICA.

Sciatica is more than back pain. It happens when the sciatic nerve becomes irritated, causing pain, tingling, numbness, or weakness that travels from the lower back down the leg.

🚫 Many people make the mistake of:
❌ Staying in bed all day
❌ Ignoring the symptoms
❌ Depending only on painkillers

The truth is that early assessment and the right physiotherapy treatment can help you recover faster and avoid long-term complications.

⚠️ Don't wait until walking, sitting, or sleeping becomes difficult.

NERVE FLOSSING EXERCISE FOR SCIATICA OR HERNIATED DISC ON THE BACK
Sciatica pain from a slipped or herniated disc can sometimes make the nerve feel “stuck” - causing tingling, tightness, burning pain, or discomfort running down the leg.

One exercise we commonly use in physiotherapy is called a Sciatic Nerve Glide (or nerve flossing).

This gentle movement helps the sciatic nerve move more freely through its pathway, which may help reduce irritation and improve mobility.
-Sit at the edge of a chair or bed
-Straighten one leg with toes pointing up
-Gently bend your head forward
-Then relax the foot and look slightly upward
-Repeat slowly and smoothly

The goal is NOT to aggressively stretch the nerve.
The goal is controlled movement and reducing sensitivity.

If symptoms worsen, stop and get assessed or call us for assistance.
At Katasi Physiotherapy Services in Nairobi, we help patients with:
✔ Sciatica
✔ Herniated discs
✔ Lower back pain
✔ Nerve pain
✔ Leg tingling and numbness
✔ Spine rehabilitation
📩 DM us for assessment and guided rehabilitation.

YOUR NECK PAIN MAY BE TRYING TO TELL YOU SOMETHING IMPORTANT.

This MRI scan shows changes in the neck that can place pressure on nearby structures and contribute to symptoms such as:

- Neck pain
- Headaches
- Pain travelling into the shoulder or arm
- Tingling or numbness in the hands
- Stiffness when turning the head

The biggest mistake many people make?

Ignoring the symptoms and hoping they will disappear.

Pain is not always caused by "getting older."
In many cases, poor posture, prolonged desk work, previous injuries, repetitive strain, and muscle weakness can place excessive stress on the neck over time.

The good news is that surgery is not the first solution for most people.

A proper physiotherapy assessment can help identify the source of the problem and guide treatment aimed at reducing pain, improving movement, and helping you return to daily activities with confidence.

✅ Early assessment matters.
✅ Early treatment matters.
✅ Your quality of life matters.

Don't let neck pain become your new normal.

🚨 RUNNER'S KNEE? DON'T IGNORE THIS WARNING.

Every time you run, your knees absorb forces several times your body weight.

If your hips, knees, and feet are not working together properly, your kneecap can start moving under extra pressure. Over time, this can lead to pain when running, climbing stairs, squatting, or even sitting for long periods.

The surprising truth?

The problem is often NOT your knee.

Many runners struggle because of:
1. Weak hip muscles
2. Poor leg alignment
3. Reduced foot stability
4. Movement patterns that overload the knee

Painkillers and rest may temporarily reduce symptoms, but they don't always address why the pain started in the first place.

At Katasi Physiotherapy Services, we assess the entire movement chain from your hips to your feet to identify what's placing unnecessary stress on your knee.

-The goal isn't just to reduce pain.
-The goal is to help you run, train, and move with confidence again.

Don't wait until knee pain stops you from doing what you love.

DEGENERATIVE DISC DISEASE: WHAT ACTUALLY HELPS?!

Many people panic after hearing:
“You have disc degeneration.”

But here’s the reality:
Disc changes are very common as we grow older and they do NOT always mean surgery is needed.

The good news?
Movement, physiotherapy, lifestyle changes, and guided exercise can make a huge difference in reducing pain and improving daily function.

During the first weeks of physiotherapy intervention, treatment may focus on:

1. Gentle spinal joint exercises
2. Sciatic nerve flossing
3. Stretching tight muscles
4. Improving posture and movement
5. Core and glute strengthening
6. Low-impact activities like swimming and walking

Helpful exercises may include:
• Cat-Cow stretch
• Knee-to-chest stretch
• Hamstring stretches
• Pelvic tilting exercises
• Glute bridges
• Back extension exercises

Recovery is not only about exercises.

Daily habits matter too for instance;

1. Avoid prolonged sitting
2. Reduce heavy lifting
3. Improve posture and ergonomics
4. Maintain a healthy body weight
5. Get quality sleep and hydration
6. Stay active safely
7. Manage stress and mental health

Nutrition also plays an important role in recovery and inflammation management.

Foods that may support spinal and joint health include:
🥗 Leafy vegetables
🍓 Berries and fruits
🐟 Omega-3 rich fish
🥑 Healthy fats
🥛 Calcium and Vitamin D foods
🌾 Whole grains and fiber-rich foods

One important reminder is that - ot every exercise is right for every person.

If an exercise increases pain significantly, stop and consult your physiotherapist or doctor.

At Katasi Physiotherapy Services, we focus on helping patients move better, reduce pain, and return to normal life safely through guided rehabilitation and evidence-based physiotherapy care.

WHY DOES ONLY ONE SHOULDER BLADE BURN LIKE FIRE AFTER WORKING ONB YOUR LAPTOP ALL DAY?

One-sided shoulder blade pain is becoming increasingly common among professionals who spend long hours working at desks.

Many patients describe:
• a burning ache under one shoulder blade
• weakness when lifting or pushing
• clicking around the shoulder
• discomfort after prolonged computer use

In physiotherapy, these symptoms are often linked to prolonged asymmetric posture habits:
-Reaching excessively toward a mouse
-Leaning onto one side during work
-Poor workstation positioning
-Reduced shoulder blade stability

Over time, the muscles responsible for stabilizing the shoulder blade become overloaded and inefficient, leading to pain, stiffness, and reduced upper-body control.

At Katasi Physiotherapy Services, we focus not only on pain relief, but on correcting the movement habits causing the overload in the first place.
Effective rehabilitation often includes:
1. Posture and workstation correction
2. Muscle release techniques
3. Shoulder blade control exercises
4. Progressive strengthening
5. Movement retraining for daily activities

Many people are treating symptoms repeatedly without addressing the mechanical cause.

Sustainable recovery starts with understanding how the body moves during real-life activities, especially at work.
