Can Physiotherapy Help Sciatica?
Physiotherapy management depends on the cause and nature of your symptoms.
Treatment may include education and advice, exercises, movement strategies, manual therapy where appropriate and progressive strengthening and rehabilitation.
Your physiotherapist can also advise when your symptoms require further medical assessment.

We first identify the nature of your leg and nerve symptoms, then progressively tailor movement, exercise and strengthening rather than relying on a one-size-fits-all approach.
