they weaken the muscles, so possibly just a placebo effect..... However, if it reduces your pain, crack on Ian.don't know really nick. I think maybe it makes you hold your posture better plus keeps your back warm which definitely helps imo
Hey, what do I know?....nick
I know of two other shooters who suffer sciatica and both bought back supports having tried mine out. Both now swear by there use and both are adamant of there benefit. Placebo !!! Not convinced but I respect your opinion ?
and quite right too, Ian.... ;-)I wasn't questioning you nick, I respect your opinion. I consider physios to be gods ?
I suffered sciatica for many years, the only thing that worked for me was going into a swimming pool, not to swim but just to take the weight of my spine, after 6 months of work and £30,000 lighter the pool was the best remidie over the time.and quite right too, Ian.... ;-)

Yes Ian but do not forget you are not normal :lol:I cant argue with a pro nick. But with respect I cant change what I know works for me.
I can only offer advice\education based on the latest clinical evidence, Ian.....Just like my patients, I cannot make you do anything you do not want to do.I cant argue with a pro nick. But with respect I cant change what I know works for me.
forward this guidelines to your physio then..... :wink:thank you nick ?
as a final statement, my physio of nearly twenty years has never advised against it and I trust her implicitly
By all accounts your pretty handy at that :angel:yep, sex works for me....but don't tell the Mrs
I'm guessing you missed my wink....I would not disrespect her in such a way, she knows me personally as well as a patient she even refs my shotgun renewal. She has kept me mobile through many intense and debilitating times over the years. If she thought not using a support would help she would have said so.
