Hi, Since you have a BSC Sports Therapy degree, may I ask would you know nerve decompression machine will help to reduce the lower back nerve radiating to the leg tightness causing poor mobility?
Thank you

I haven’t practised in over 13 years, since my car crash which caused my injury and disability, as they say, “if you don’t use it, you lose it.” So, I’m reading up on anatomy and physiology and relevant research. I usually do pain coaching, relaxation, and mindfulness sessions, and I employ fitness instructors to deliver classes. Last year, I attended a Therapy Expo UK, and there was a company that produced a functional electrical stimulation. When I spoke to the sales team, they said their product wouldn’t benefit me; it was more for stroke survivors and people with MS, the results were incredible.

When it comes to structural damage to the spine, and it depends on the type of nerve damage and influencing factors, so you’d have to do some research yourself, as I wouldn’t have knowledge to that type of information now. I'm sure your healthcare provider would have access to resources like that, and reading the research that seems to be a temporary measure, and is effective for mild to moderate spinal conditions.

My condition is chronic and I use gentle stretches to ease my pain, massage, acupuncture, cupping, Yin yoga, Qigong, meditation and pain relief. You need to find what works for you as everyone's symptoms, bodies, gentic makeup is different.

Take care.
