6 signs that indicate that you are suffering from spinal stenosis
Stenosis means narrowing and spinal stenosis refers to narrowing in any part of the spine. There are two kinds of stenosis seen in the spine: Central Spinal Stenosis or a Foraminal Stenosis. When you are reading your scan results or discussing your condition with the doctor they can refer to these two collectively as spinal stenosis. In this blog lets discuss 6 signs that indicate that you are suffering from spinal stenosis.

Here are 6 signs that you may have if you are suffering from spinal stenosis:
  1. You have constant pain and/or numbness in your legs or your arms, especially more while standing or looking up above your head. 
  2. Your pain eases with rest or bending the spine (back/neck) forwards.
  3. You have difficulty in performing upright exercises or activities.
  4. You have abnormal sensations such as tingling numbness, cramping and weakness may be felt in the arms and hands with cervical involvement and in the legs with lumbar involvement.
  5. You may have a foot drop or your foot may drag while walking if lower lumbar spine is involved.

MEET SWATI

 
Hi there! 
I am Swati, an Executive Mum Power Coach & Certified Posture Expert

I help mums of young kids working in high-stress executive jobs manage back, neck, and nerve pain, even with low energy, brain fog, and little time to spare. My proven system delivers real relief without stealing hours from your already packed day. The result? More productive professionals at work and guilt-free mums who can be fully present with their kids, instead of being sidelined by pain.



My passion comes from personal experience. I’ve been where you are: in pain, overwhelmed, and exhausted. After two pregnancies in three years, juggling my kids, housework, and a demanding job, I was stuck in a constant cycle of back and nerve pain. The physical load of motherhood added strain to my spine and joints. Meanwhile, adrenal fatigue left me drained, even after 10–12 hours of sleep.

Everyday tasks became a struggle. I was forgetful, foggy, and low on energy. Even as a trained physiotherapist and posture expert, I couldn’t escape my own pain. I stood all day at work, spent evenings on the laptop, rocked my kids to sleep, sat through endless meetings, traveled frequently ... I’ve been through it all.

I kept my pain hidden at work, afraid to speak up. I felt like a fraud, someone who coached others on relief strategies but couldn’t find relief herself. I loved my job and my children, but I couldn’t give 100% to either. Pain was holding me back.

One New Year, I made a resolution: to get healthy, not just fix pain, fatigue, or weight. I focused on reducing inflammation, healing my adrenal fatigue, and reclaiming my energy. Slowly but surely, the pain faded. I lost weight, my brain fog cleared, and my energy skyrocketed. Today, my pain is nearly gone. I feel stronger, clearer, and more in control than I have in years.
And now, I want that for you.

I combine professional expertise with lived experience to support other mums like me, those with young kids, high-stress jobs, and no time for complicated health programs. I’ve helped hundreds of women reduce spinal and joint pain, lift their energy, and clear the mental fog that holds them back.

If any of this resonates, you’re not alone. I’ve been there. I got you, mommy!

Let’s get you feeling strong, confident, and fully present at work and at home.
Are you ready to start? Curious about how this works? Just ask.

Let's DO THIS!
xx Swati
