Ugh, I never want to wake up like that again. And I know my case was *mild* compared to what my clients experience.
The dull ache that resides deep in the tissue, almost as if it’s my bone hurting. And the traveling…was it really my sciatic nerve causing pain or restricted/compressed fascia that was sending an SOS for help?
Pounding the tissue with a hard ball or percussion device is not recommended. Would you yell at someone who’s struggling to fall asleep to FALL ASLEEP NOW!! No, you’d play soft music, dim the lights, change the temp in the room. Indirect before direct. The soft before the benzo, lol. 🙋🏻♀️
Having tools at my disposal is great yet being curious to explore what my body is saying is better. If a technique doesn’t feel right, I back off. And no expectations to eradicate pain in one go. It’s working with, not against, the body.
I used the ProGen3+ (code EVOLVE10 for a discount) and the Fascia Hydrator (link in bio).
Let me know how you work with your own sciatic pain in the comments! ⬇️⬇️⬇️
