Are muscle rubs or creams useful for back pain?

Sometimes they can be a helpful tool, but they're not essential and not something I routinely recommend.

If they work for you, they are a fairly safe and easy option for temporary pain relief.

Watch the reel to find out what the evidence suggests and what I recommend.

⚡Sciatica - what exactly is it? ⚡

Irritation or injury to your sciatic nerve can be very uncomfortable.

You might experience:
Sharp, shooting pain in your leg
Pins and needles
Numbness
Weakness

The good news is most cases of sciatic pain clear up eventually, and there are many ways to support your recovery.

If you think you might have sciatica, I can assess you and help work out what's causing the issue, give you some manual therapy for short term relief, and create a recovery plan with you.

Does Osteopathy Hurt?

The answer is a reassuring no!

There may be some discomfort during and after treatment, but it should always be tolerable and shouldn't be painful.

Gentle techniques can actually be more effective than painful ones!

I check in with you constantly during your session, but please tell me if anything is too intense

My focus is on providing safe, professional and effective care that gets you relief without unnecessary stress.

Can I still book a massage alongside my osteo sessions?

You absolutely can combine massage with your osteopathic care. It can be a brilliant way to achieve extra relaxation and pain relief.

Please speak to me first so I can ensure it fits into your treatment plan and aligns with your goals! I can advise you on the best type of massage for you.

Allow at least 48 hours between appointments to give your body time to respond. You can have too much of a good thing, and frequent manual therapy can lead to lots of soreness.

I work closely with the massage therapists at in Walthamstow so I can give you a trusted recommendation.

*Regulation*

Did you know that by law, all UK Osteopaths must be registered with General Osteopathic Council (GOsC)?

GOsC set the standards for our training, continued learning and conduct.

This means you can be confident that you're seeing a properly trained and insured health professional.

Surprisingly, not every health profession is regulated. Many just have a voluntary register or professional body.

My GOsC registration number is 6972.

If you need help with back pain, you can find me at in walthamstow every Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday. Booking link in bio.

TENS machines - Do they help with back pain?

They're a useful tool for managing pain and discomfort, and are safe for most people.

They don't resolve the problem or help the healing process directly, so manage your expectations when using them.

🚣🏼Bent Over Row with Resistance Band

A simple but classic exercise. You can also do this with dumbbells in each hand, or just work 1 arm at a time.

Match your breath to your movements to help retrain your abdominals and pelvic floor - super helpful after giving birth. When you exhale and pull against the band, your abdominals and pelvic floor should contract to support your torso.

Watch the video for all the instructions.

🧱👐🏼Wall Plank with Hand March Exercise

Another handy variation of the wall plank.

This adds a bit more movement and asymmetry to the exercise, while still being low impact and supportive.

Super helpful for rebuilding strength and confidence when you have back pain, or for postnatal recovery. This would also be suitable for most pregnancies.
