Pain shooting down your leg? Is it sciatica?

Our Wimbledon Physiotherapy Approach 

1. Hands-On Relief 

  • Mobilisations and soft tissue release to reduce nerve pressure. 

2. Movement Strategies 

  • Teaching positions and exercises to calm symptoms. 

3. Strength Rebuild 

  • Core, glute, and leg muscle activation to protect your spine long term. 

4. Lifestyle Advice 

  • Sitting, lifting, and activity adjustments to avoid flare-ups. 

What to expect 

  • Some patients feel relief in days, others can take longer depending on the cause. 

    Strength building continues even after pain improves to prevent recurrence. 

At-home tips 

  • Avoid prolonged sitting — stand up every 30–45 minutes. 

    Use a lumbar support cushion when driving or at your desk, this may help. 

  • Fixing the root cause is the key to lasting sciatica relief.
