FAQs
Answers to common questions about your recovery
Sciatica happens when the sciatic nerve becomes compressed or irritated, often by a herniated disc, spinal narrowing, or a tight piriformis muscle. This causes pain that can radiate from the lower back down through the hip and leg.
Yes. Physiotherapy for sciatica focuses on reducing nerve irritation, improving spinal alignment, releasing tight muscles, and restoring safe movement patterns so pain settles and mobility returns without surgery.
Mild sciatica often improves within 4–6 weeks with guided physiotherapy and activity modification. More persistent cases linked to disc or nerve involvement may need a longer, progressive rehabilitation plan.
Most sciatica cases resolve with conservative care. Structured physiotherapy relieves nerve pressure, strengthens supporting muscles, and corrects movement habits, helping the majority of people recover without surgery.
Nerve mobility exercises, gentle core and glute strengthening, and controlled mobility drills help ease sciatica. Your physiotherapist tailors and progresses these safely based on your symptoms and cause.
Yes. Virtual physiotherapy works well for many sciatica cases through guided exercises, posture correction, and progress tracking, helping you reduce nerve pain and restore movement safely from home.
