THE SCIATIC NERVE is the longest
nerve in the body and can be compromised at many different points along its journey.

The sciatic nerve forms in the pelvis after five nerve roots that emanate from the lower spine meet up and gather right behind the piriformis muscle that connects from the outer leg to the front portion of the sacrum.

The five nerve roots become two nerves — the tibial & peroneal — that are encased in the sciatic sheath. So technically there is no sciatic nerve though I will continue to refer to these two nerves as one sciatic nerve.

The tibial and peroneal nerves are wrapped in the sciatic sheath which runs to the knee and then the nerves continue separately on their path down the shin to the foot.

At the point where the sciatic nerve is formed at the piriformis muscle it is the thickest nerve in the body, about the size of your index finger.

The piriformis muscle is an external rotator which means it turns the foot and leg out. Think of taking your leg out of a car as a clear example of the piriformis at work.

If the piriformis is tight, or goes into spasm, it can press on the sciatic nerve and create the problem known as piriformis syndrome. If you’ve got a pain in the butt it is likely to be piriformis syndrome.

Pain beginning in the lower back that relates to the sciatic nerve is referred to as sciatica. Both sciatica and piriformis syndrome are problems with the sciatic nerve.

Our bones hold us up. Our muscles move the bones. The nerves tell the muscles to move the bones.

In order for the muscles and nerves to work best the bones need to be properly aligned. When the bones are misaligned we are invited all sorts of muscle and nerve issues.

Good posture rules!

KINETIC CHAIN RELEASE
🎄LOOKING FOR A GIFT THIS 🎄
🎄CHRISTMAS 🎄
🎄GIVE THE GIFT OF BALANCE 🎄
🎄GIFT VOUCHERS AVAILABLE 🎄

I’m quite often asked what the therapy ‘Kinetic Chain Release’ is, so here’s a brief explanation.

Kinetic Chain Release was developed by the late Scottish Physiotherapist Hugh Gilbert.
Hugh was known globally and a recognised leader in his field. He developed a simple but effective protocol of gentle mobilisations and stretches that brings the body back into balance quickly and easily. It is gentle, non-invasive and suitable for all ages.

During the treatment I will use this series of gentle mobilisations and stretches on key joints and muscles in the body to bring about postural changes. The aim of these mobilisations is to correct an apparent leg length difference, bringing your body back into balance. When the body is in balance, physical pain is also very often reduced, if not eliminated.

Many people suffering with chronic pain, muscular or joint, affecting their back, hips, knees for example, may be caused by a past trauma. This could be an old childhood injury from a fall or an accident. At the time of the accident the connective tissue (fascia) contracts to protect your body from further damage. Our connective tissue holds onto and stores memories and emotions.

This unprocessed emotional energy is stored in our organs, muscles, and tissues. It can lead to inflammation and chronic health problems, and affects our overall well-being. If the connective tissue remains restricted then it causes imbalances within the kinetic chain, which then causes referred pain somewhere else within the body.

Hugh recognised that working on a specific area of pain/discomfort was not enough, but working on the Kinetic chain, the whole body, had more profound results.

KCR on it’s on is highly effective and many clients feel the benefits of this treatment after Other people may require a couple more. Occasionally if something is a bit more stubborn, we may need to consider CTR (connective tissue release). This was also taught by Hugh. This involves some direct pressure on certain areas of the body to help release this tissue (fascia).

A session takes around 45 minutes to an hour. You remain fully clothed, and most of the therapy is done on the massage couch. It’s is a painless therapy but a couple of the moves may cause very slight discomfort.

What can KCR help with?
KCR can provide relief from chronic back pain, fibromyalgia, carpal tunnel syndrome, chronic fatigue syndrome, IBS, migraines, scoliosis, TMJ, snoring/sleep apnoea, bloating, tennis (golfers) elbow, weak ankles, knee problems, breathing difficulties, plantar fasciitis, hip and joint pain, pelvic discomforts, back, shoulder and neck pain, wrist pain/weakness, PTSD

Who should not have KCR?
❌ after first trimester in pregnancy
❌ if you have osteogenesis imperfecta
❌ if you had a stroke within the last 12 months (a doctor’s note may be needed before treatment)
❌ if you are post-surgery and still under surgeon/consultant care (a doctor’s note may be needed before treatment)

What about children?
Children love KCR and it allows their bodies to develop in a balanced and healthy way.

How effective is KCR?
In most cases KCR is a very effective therapy but like other treatments, physio, massage, chiropractor, holistic therapies, there are some other factors that can affect the effectiveness of them. Our mind/body connection, long standing issues or even the fact that we aren’t ready to let go can affect how we respond to KCR or other therapies. So for this reason I cannot guarantee that it will resolve your issue but it’s always worth trying.

Who else can benefit from KCR?
Athletes and sportspeople have found the balancing effect of KCR on their bodies have increased and improved their performance. Quite often they will come for KCR a couple of days before a sporting event.

A recent client asked me to post her review as she doesn’t do Facebook.
😊 thank you 😊
Had a wonderful KCR treatment with Hayley, she made me feel really at ease, talked me through the whole process. I immediately felt the benefits of the treatment and I am enjoying immensely being able to run and exercise without pain again 😁
