Have you heard about Scar Release Therapy?
C-section scars can be uncomfortable even painful for many women. But did you know there is a treatment that can be undertaken once healing has occurred, even years (or decades) later?
In this article our Advanced Myotherapist Haydie Peatie explains how it works and what to expect. It can even work for other scars...
Putting an end to Sciatica misery
Sciatica is a condition caused by irritation or compression of the sciatic nerve in the L4-S3 vertebra. It's the largest nerve in the body, running from the lower back, through the hips and glutes, and down each leg.
Symptoms can range from mild discomfort to severe pain that can have a major impact on your daily life.
As Shae Chivers explains there is help, with a variety of techniques to alleviate flare-ups and improve long term.
That's it for this edition of our monthly newsletter. We will be back next month and let us know if you would like us to cover a topic or explain a treatment - it's all part of the Rapid Recovery service!
