Sciatica is pain that travels from the lower back down the leg along the sciatic nerve. It can be intense, but most cases improve steadily with the right physiotherapy.
Sciatica is a symptom rather than a diagnosis. It describes pain along the path of the sciatic nerve, usually felt in the buttock and down the back of the leg, often caused by a nerve being irritated near the spine.
The pain can be sharp or burning and may come with pins and needles. Reassuringly, most sciatica settles over time, and physiotherapy helps calm the nerve and get you moving again.
I focus on settling the nerve, restoring comfortable movement, and rebuilding strength so the pain does not keep returning.
Positions and gentle techniques that reduce irritation and leg symptoms.
Restoring back and hip movement without aggravating the nerve.
Building core, hip, and glute strength to support recovery.
Practical guidance on sitting, walking, and pacing your day.
Treatment moves through clear stages. I set the pace to suit you, but the path usually looks like this.
I trace your symptoms and check how sensitive the nerve is.
Reduce irritation and find comfortable movement early.
Graded mobility and nerve gliding as symptoms allow.
Build the support that keeps sciatica from returning.
Seek emergency care at once if you develop numbness around the groin, loss of bladder or bowel control, or weakness in both legs. Also see a doctor if one leg becomes rapidly and severely weak.
Book an assessment with me and I'll build a plan around your body, your goals, and your day-to-day life.
