If every step you take is painful, you are going to limit those steps! Then, if this is the way you get your exercise, other areas of your body start to ache. Weight gain often ensues. Ick! Don’t let this happen to you! Get in to see me for an evaluation and we can take a look at what is going on…weak muscles? tight or short muscles? restrictions around or within your sciatic nerve sheath (the layer of connective tissue that contains fluid to bathe and nourish your nerves)? restrictions in tendons from overuse? joints that have limited mobility? Another puzzle I love to put together!
