Her bed might be the source of it. I was a massage therapist in one career iteration, and the sciatic nerve is a large one that has to thread through an amazingly small space in the pelvis to get down to the leg. Any misalignment is crucial--as are tense muscles which further decrease the amount of space available. Yes, it's painful; I would inflict lots of "good" pain when treating. But beds are great for those with great muscle tone, not so much for everybody else. And great point about lymphatic drainage!Jennanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-55532501364780143.post-46150475625205740792014-10-04T22:28:32.866+01:002014-10-04T22:28:32.866+01:00Interesting!

Perhaps read around to see if that could possibly apply to you? xxPen Wilcockhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13818227904371811230noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-55532501364780143.post-47279894649065929362014-10-04T01:20:17.835+01:002014-10-04T01:20:17.835+01:00How I wish I were not dependent on my soft memory-...How I wish I were not dependent on my soft memory-foam mattress. However, I suffer from sciatica and left hip pain and it would be impossible to sleep on a firm surface. I do envy folks that can.

Sleeping in Komorebi, I hear the sounds travelling through the ground - the traffic etc - much more than just sitting there. <br />And, the floor sleeping is spectacularly good for lymphatic drainage. xxPen Wilcockhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13818227904371811230noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-55532501364780143.post-3698661053788266632014-10-02T09:16:43.752+01:002014-10-02T09:16:43.752+01:00Yes, I think I've found the same.

I dream more because I'm constantly adjusting my position. I find the contact my bones have with a resistant surface comforting in some way and I feel more in touch with different parts of my (physical) self.<br />The problem I find, where I live is that of vibrations coming through the floor from various appliances in all four sections of the terrace. I suffer from tinitis at times and it gets very loud. It does mean that I get up earlier, though, which can't be a bad thing.Katrina Greennoreply@blogger.com
