Tip of the day:
If you have sciatica -
❌ Don't sit for more than 20 minutes at a time.
✅ Move - GENTLE mindful movement typically helps.
❌ Don't lift anything heavy.
❌ Don't bend and twist at the same time.
✅ Do go to work as soon as the acute stage has passed - Resuming normal
day-to-day activities as soon as you can is important.
Sometimes we can panic over what we can and can't do when a flare up of pain arrives.
One very important thing in any case of illness or injury is to NOT PANIC.
See out advice from a health professional and act accordingly.
In the case of sciatica (which people often use this word as a broad description for leg pain) if it is not settling with a short time of its onset seek help from a health professional such as myself.
Ps. This is a FB post - no social media post can replace the individualised advice of a health professional. See real life help when you need it.
