Sciatica, a right pain in the butt. The sciatic nerve goes from the lower back, though the buttock down the thigh, leg and foot. Sometimes a shooting pain can happen from the top of the thigh straight to the top of the foot.
If a slipped disc occurs, then a shooting pain, tingleing, pins and needles, even a dead leg, or numbness in the leg and foot can happen. It can take a long time to recover, weeks or even months. Bowen Therapy and Emmett Technique can speed recovery / healing time quicker than some traditional methods. The power of these therapies, plus gentle simple exercises, 15 to 20min per day, should enhance the recovery time, some people quicker than others. These simple but precise moves that include breaks / pauses, or 20 second delays can really start the healing and the adjustments that the body needs to take. Its all about having the right keys to undo the locks, Some of the results are truly amazing, some clients cannot believe so much can happen with these light, gentle moves.
