Boots.com Review

02. January 2011 · Write a comment · Categories: Sciatic Pain · Tags: Boots, Buy one get one free, Christmas, Gift, Gift wrapping, Holidays, Home page, Shopping

I have been using Boots.com for about 5 years. I first stared using them when I bought my new house, and found it was much easier to pop online and place an order, saving time for other things like stripping wallpaper and sanding floorboards! I also found their 3 for 2 and buy one get one free offers meant that I could buy in bulk the things I used a lot of, like shampoo and sanitary products, and just get them delivered instead of having to cart them through town and on a busy, cramped bus home!

When it came to my first Christmas in my new home, I used Boots.com for things like wrapping paper and little stocking fillers, and found it so much easier to buy from one place. I also liked to make use of the facility to buy a present, have it gift wrapped and sent to a different address – I did this quite a lot when friends who live in different parts of the country had babies or birthdays. Now that I tend to focus on making my own Christmas and birthday presents, I don’t use it so much for this, but still get toiletries and suchlike from the site.

The Boots.com site is very colourful, and on the home page there are always huge banners (normally in bright, bold red) telling you what the current special offers are. At the moment, there are three banners, one green, one pink, one red, all showing different offers, and a large section in the middle of the home page showing ½ price electricals etc. To get to the site all you do is type in www.boots.com, and you will find yourself on the home page. I always sign in first, and if you haven’t signed up already, you’ll find this very easy to do simply by clicking the “register” tab at the top centre of the page.

Holland & Barrett Review

21. December 2010 · Write a comment · Categories: Sciatic Pain · Tags: Animal fat, Food, Holland & Barrett, Meat, Meat analogue, Shopping, Veganism, Vegetarian

As a student nurse and health promoter, I couldn’t resist the opportunity to have a wee say on this shop. Most people think of Holland & Barrett as a vegetarian or vegan store, but it’s not. I eat meat in my diet and found their meat substitute products to be really scrummie. The nice thing about their food is that they use natural products which sit well with our digestive systems. It’s fab if you’re trying a diet and just can’t resist the odd bit of meat. Their meat has no animal fats, is balanced with nutients and vitamins and really good for you. They do a wide variety of health pills and products as well as food. Their range on soya products are excellent, you won’t be disappointed I assure you. There is a little something for everyone in this shop, from veggies to vegans to carnivores… worth checking out. Oh yes, I almost forgot. If you like pork pies, Holland and Barratt’s are to die for!

Your doctor may refer you to a physiotherapist to help ease your sciatica and restore motion. Physical therapy includes passive and active treatments. Passive treatments help relax your body and yourself. They also prepare your body for therapeutic exercise, which is the active part of physical therapy.

Your physical therapist can give you passive treatments such as:

Deep Tissue Massage: This technique targets chronic muscle tension that could be pressing on the sciatic nerve or nerve root related. The therapist uses direct pressure and friction to try and release the tension in the soft tissues (ligaments, tendons, muscles).

Hot and Cold Therapies: Using heat, the therapist tries to get more blood to the target area because an increased blood flow brings more oxygen and nutrients to the area. For example, a hot water bottle placed in the piriformis muscle can help to reduce muscle spasms that may be causing your sciatica. Cold therapy slows circulation, helping to reduce inflammation, muscle spasms and pain. Your physical therapist will alternate between hot and cold therapy.

TENS (transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation): You could even use this at home, if your therapist thinks it’s necessary. A machine that stimulates muscles through variables (but safe) the intensity of electric current. TENS helps reduce muscle spasms, and can increase your body’s production of endorphins, natural painkillers your. TENS team physical therapist uses is greater than the “home” machine use. However, large or small, a TENS unit can be a useful therapy.

Ultrasound: Ultrasound sends sound waves deep into the muscle tissue and its creates a gentle heat that improves circulation and helps speed healing. Increased circulation helps reduce muscle spasms, cramps, swelling, stiffness and pain.

In the active part of physical therapy, your therapist will teach several exercises. Your physical therapy program is individualized, taking into account their health and their history. You can include aerobic conditioning, strengthening exercises, and movements to increase flexibility and range of motion.

If necessary, you learn to correct your posture and incorporate ergonomic principles in their daily activities.
