Foot giving way

[EmeraldEyes]

My Osteopath recommended one of these many years ago to help target the pressure points of muscle tension. I’d totally forgotten about it tucked away in the back of a cupboard 'til a few weeks ago. I’ve now used it a few times on my stroke leg, digging in and running down the sciatic nerve path from base of spine to knee, around knee, down outside to ankle and a few spot around there and sole of foot. Also some very tense spot on shoulders and down spine.
Anyway, that seems to have brought on some positive results for my drop foot the past few days, in that it’s not been dropping! There is some hint of it wanting to revert back so I will be having another go with it.

Using the hook as I do, does leave you feeling a little battered and bruised for a few days afterwards (just like after a sports physio session) so it’s not until that settles down before you start feeling the benefit.

Maybe physio could do a spot of massage along the sciatic nerve it might help, that runs from the base of spine down outside of leg. I mean that’s where all the brain’s signals comes from and it couldn’t hurt to try.
