Sciatica
Sciatica is a condition caused by irritation or compression of the sciatic nerve, often leading to sharp pain, tingling, or numbness that radiates from the lower back down the leg. It can make standing, sitting, and daily movement difficult. With physiotherapy, targeted exercises, and lifestyle changes, sciatica symptoms can be effectively managed and long-term relief achieved.

Seeking a Professional Sciatica Physiotherapist
Our physiotherapy services are designed to provide relief from sciatica by addressing both symptoms and underlying causes. Using manual therapy, nerve gliding exercises, posture correction, and core strengthening, we aim to relieve pressure on the sciatic nerve and restore normal mobility.
Sciatica may result from herniated discs, spinal stenosis, poor posture, or muscular imbalances. Our treatment approach focuses on reducing nerve compression, improving spinal alignment, and strengthening supportive muscles to prevent future flare-ups.
At RAS Mobile Physiotherapy, we provide the convenience of treatment at your home, workplace, or care facility. With flexible appointments, including evenings and weekends, we ensure you receive personalised care without disrupting your daily routine.
