What it is

Sciatica physiotherapy treats pain, tingling and weakness travelling from the lower back into the buttock, thigh, calf or foot. The nerve is usually irritated by a lumbar disc, a narrowed foramen, or a tight piriformis muscle.

The clinical goal is centralisation: getting the pain to retreat from the foot back towards the spine, which reliably predicts recovery.

Symptoms we see

Sharp or burning pain running down the back of the leg
Tingling or numbness in the calf, foot or toes
Pain worse on sitting, coughing or sneezing
Difficulty standing up straight or a leaning posture
Weakness lifting the foot or pushing off
Night pain that disturbs sleep

Common causes

Lumbar disc bulge or prolapse pressing a nerve root
Lumbar canal or foraminal stenosis
Piriformis syndrome compressing the sciatic nerve
Prolonged sitting and long commutes
Heavy or repeated lifting with a rounded back
Weak core and gluteal support for the lumbar spine

Our approach

Assessment: Symptom mapping, straight leg raise and slump testing, myotome, dermatome and reflex screening, and identification of the movement direction that centralises your pain. Red flags such as bladder or bowel change are checked at the first visit.
Treatment: Lumbar traction, positional decompression, IFT for radiating pain, directional exercise, neural mobilisation and graded core and gluteal strengthening.
Home program: Two or three exercises repeated several times a day, sitting and driving limits, a graded walking plan and safe lifting technique.

Techniques used

Lumbar traction

Decompresses the disc and reduces pressure on the nerve root.

Centralisation exercise

Repeated directional movement that draws leg pain back towards the spine.

Neural mobilisation

Restores sciatic nerve glide without provoking symptoms.

Piriformis and hip release

Relieves muscular compression where the nerve passes through the buttock.

Core and gluteal strengthening

Rebuilds the support that keeps the segment decompressed.

Frequently asked questions

How long does sciatica take to settle?

Most cases improve substantially within four to eight weeks of structured treatment. Symptoms retreating up the leg is the sign that it is working.

When should I worry?

Seek urgent medical care for loss of bladder or bowel control, numbness around the groin, or rapidly worsening leg weakness.

Can I keep working at a desk?

Yes, with a sitting limit, a lumbar roll and short standing breaks every 30 minutes. We set the specific limits at the assessment.
