Relieve Nerve Pain, Restore Function, and Move with Confidence—Without Surgery or Injections
Nerve-related injuries can feel overwhelming—shooting pain, tingling, numbness, or weakness can interfere with your ability to train, work, or even walk comfortably. But in many cases, nerve symptoms are not permanent and can be significantly improved through targeted movement and strength training.
At Optimum Movement Centre, we take a functional, non-invasive approach to helping people recover from nerve-related pain and dysfunction. Using focused coaching, MedX rehab equipment, and progressive load strategies, we help your body become stronger, more balanced, and less vulnerable to nerve irritation.
Common Nerve Conditions We Help With
- Tarsal Tunnel Syndrome – a condition where the tibial nerve is compressed as it passes through the tarsal tunnel (inside of the ankle). Symptoms may include burning, tingling, or numbness in the sole of the foot. Often linked to overuse, tightness, and biomechanical imbalances.
- Sciatica from Running – nerve irritation or compression in the lower back or gluteal area causing pain that travels down the leg. In runners, this may result from poor glute activation, tight piriformis muscles, or weak core and hip stabilisers.
In both cases, nerve pain is often a *symptom* of muscular or structural dysfunction. Fix the underlying issue—and the nerve symptoms often improve dramatically.
Our Approach to Nerve Injury Recovery
Rather than just focusing on short-term symptom relief, we target the root cause of the issue—weakness, tightness, poor movement patterns, or instability. Your recovery plan will include:
- Progressive strengthening of stabilising muscles
- Improved posture and pelvic alignment
- Safe mobility and flexibility exercises
- Neuromuscular retraining for better load distribution
Our experienced trainers will guide you step-by-step, helping you rebuild strength and confidence without overloading sensitive tissues.
MedX Equipment to Support Nerve Recovery
Our MedX rehab machines allow us to isolate key muscles—especially around the spine, hips, and lower limbs—so we can retrain the body to move well and support nerve health naturally.
✅ MedX Lumbar Extension
Strengthens deep spinal muscles to support the lower back and relieve pressure on nerves that may cause sciatica. Crucial for restoring proper function and reducing recurring flare-ups.
✅ MedX Hip Abduction & Adduction
Improves hip and pelvic control to relieve irritation of the sciatic nerve in the gluteal region (often linked to piriformis syndrome in runners).
✅ MedX Torso Rotation & Core Training
Rebuilds trunk stability and movement control, improving how the body absorbs impact and reducing nerve stress during activities like running and walking.
✅ MedX Leg Press
Enables safe, controlled strength work in the legs and glutes—supporting recovery from tarsal tunnel syndrome by improving gait, ankle control, and foot load management.
Recover Without Surgery or Steroid Injections
At OMC, we believe in addressing the cause—not masking the symptoms. With expert coaching, safe equipment, and structured progression, we help you recover naturally from nerve pain and get back to doing what you love—pain-free and confident.
