How it works
Nerve mobilisation exercises (sciatic nerve sliders/tensioners) reduce neural mechanosensitivity and adhesion. Core strengthening reduces lumbar segmental instability that compresses nerve roots.
Rest beyond 48 hours worsens sciatica outcomes. Early active movement — within pain limits — accelerates recovery. A physiotherapist can identify the specific mechanical cause and tailor treatment.
Finding a practitioner
Seek a qualified and registered practitioner. In Australia, check AHPRA (ahpra.gov.au) for registered health practitioners including physiotherapists, psychologists, and Chinese medicine practitioners.
