Overtraining.

1 year.

4    How did this condition affect your daily life?
Able to function, but unable to run (which I enjoy)

5    How did you first hear about Therapeople?
Recommended by a member at my local gym

6    How did you feel the website advertised the Hivamat therapy?
It was interesting

7 How did you originally make contact with Therapeople?
By telephone

The therapist was able to quickly put me at ease

treatment was carried out?
The room was welcoming and the atmosphere was relaxing.

Tingling and calming

I felt very relaxed and my muscles felt less tense.

12    Please describe the effect of the treatment the next day and
subsequent days?
Overall, my muscles became less tense and my piriformis pain decreased.

Yes. I recommended it to someone suffering from plantar fasciitis.

14    Will you return for treatment?
Probably.

15    How did the treatment compare with other treatments you've had?
I have seen an osteopath for my condition and the treatment outcome was about the same. Piriformis syndrome is notoriously difficult to treat and should it return I would probably have Hivamat therapy in addition to seeing an osteopath.
