Benefits of Massage

Massage is generally considered part of complementary and alternative medicine. It's increasingly being offered along with standard treatment for a wide range of medical conditions and situations.

Receiving a massage once a month is good but receiving a massage every two weeks is even better. Your massage therapist will get to know your body better and will be able to help keep the tension and knots (adhesions) in your specific areas.

Relief of Sciatica

You Relieve Sciatic pain many different ways. I will list ONLY four ways below:

Walking

Take the time out for a brisk 30 minute to 45 minutes walk. This will help your pelvis balance, muscles relax and help with your range of motion. Walk as long as it's not painful. 

Self- Massage

Place your right and left hand on either side of your thigh wrapping your hands. Start with light gentle pressure to warm up the muscles. Pull your fingers from back side of your knee all the way to your hip. Don't forget to get the lateral and inner side of the leg. Reverse and massage the front of your leg all the way down the feet.

Ice & Heat

Place ice on the area for 10 minutes to reduce swelling & inflammation. Replace with heat for 10 minutes and you improve the blood supply which helps the healing. Alternate 3 times in each cycle.

Stretch

The tightness of the piriformis muscle is the most common cause of sciatic pain. This muscle is located deep in the buttocks behind the Gluteals. By stretching the Piriformis muscle it will relieve the tension of the muscle pressing on the sciatic nerve that runs through the muscle. Hold the stretch for 20-30 seconds. Repeat until you feel relief.

Sciatica Pain

Some describe Sciatica as a sharp shooting pain starting in the lower back and going down the leg. Typically the pain goes below the knee to the foot. The pain is quickly traveling along the course of the nerve.

How to Relieve Lower Back Pain??
Strengthen Core Muscles

Your Torso is made up of different muscles working together. Strengthening your abdominal muscles will give your lower back a longer life.

Stretch your lower extremity muscles daily. Stretch your  hamstrings and Quadrecips to keep too much tension and tightness in your legs can cause tension in your lower back.

Massage

Massage is a key factor when your muscles are sore and aching.

Have Back Pain???

Back pain is the most common reason why people go to the doctor. The problem can range from a dull, constant ache to a sudden, sharp pain that leaves you incapacitated. The pain can come and go any time it pleases. Back pain can come from an accident, a fall, or lifting something heavy—or it can develop slowly, perhaps as the result of age-related changes to the spine. However your back pain occurred or what type of back pain it is, you know it when you have it.

What to do to relieve Computer Neck Pain??





Drink water

When you ask someone how much water should you drink we typically hear to drink eight glasses (8oz) of water a day but that has changed. Now, the recommendations state that men should drink more water than women. Men drink 12 glasses of water a day while women drink 9 glasses of water a day. Every men and women bodies are made up differently. Drink water according to how much you weigh and if you are physically active.

Stretch
 
Being more flexible is a wonderful feeling. Your muscle aren't tight and angry at you for sitting at your desk all day.


Desk Stretches




Exercise
 
Aim for 30mins a day of physical activity. If you are looking to lose weight consult a physical trainer for proper assistants and your doctor to check vitals.

Massage
 
Receiving a massage once a month is good but receiving a massage every two weeks is even better. Your massage therapist will get to know your body better and will be able to help keep the tension and knots (adhesions) in your specific areas.
