🧘‍♀️ Position of the Week: Pigeon Pose

Pigeon Pose is a fantastic stretch for opening the hips, glutes and lower back—areas that often become tight from sitting, running, cycling or everyday life.

Done correctly, it can help:
• Improve hip mobility
• Reduce tension in the glutes and piriformis
• Ease stiffness in the lower back
• Support better posture and movement

Remember, flexibility takes time. Ease into the stretch, breathe deeply, and never force the position. If you feel pain (rather than a gentle stretch), come out of the pose and modify it.

Movement is medicine—your body will thank you! 💙

Think skipping is just for kids? Think again! 🏃‍♀️➡️🪢

Adding a few minutes of skipping after your run can be a great way to improve your coordination, footwork and lower leg strength. It helps build resilience in your calves, Achilles and feet, encourages better running mechanics, and can even improve your balance and agility.

The key is to start slowly. If you’re new to skipping, begin with 30–60 seconds at a time and gradually build up as your body adapts.

Strong runners aren’t just built by running—they’re built by training the muscles that keep them moving efficiently.

Have you ever tried skipping after a run? Let us know below! 👇

PART 1 Pain that travels into your buttock or down your leg is often labelled as sciatica—but that’s not always the case.

Several conditions can produce very similar symptoms, including:
✔️ Sciatica (nerve irritation)
✔️ Referred pain from the lower back
✔️ Piriformis syndrome

Although they can feel almost identical, they often have different causes… and that means they may need different treatment.

That’s why a thorough assessment is so important. At Durham House Chiropractic Clinic, we focus on identifying the source of your pain before creating a treatment plan tailored specifically to you.

➡️ Over the next few posts, we’ll explain:
• How to recognise the differences.
• What each condition feels like.
• Which treatments work best for each.

Save this post so you can refer back to it, and follow us for Part 2!
