Sciatica

Sciatica is pain that travels along the sciatic nerve from the lower back down the leg, usually due to nerve irritation or compression; physiotherapy helps relieve pressure and restore comfortable movement.

Common Symptoms

Do's

  • Keep gently active with short walks as tolerated
  • Sit with proper lumbar support
  • Change positions frequently rather than staying still
  • Sleep with a pillow supporting your knees or legs

Don'ts

  • Don't sit for long, uninterrupted periods
  • Avoid heavy lifting or repeatedly bending forward
  • Don't ignore worsening leg weakness or numbness
  • Avoid high-impact exercise during a painful flare-up

When to see a physiotherapist: Seek prompt assessment if you notice leg weakness, numbness, or loss of bladder/bowel control.
