Experience Relief at Home: A Day with Our Sciatica Physio

 Living with sciatica can be debilitating – that sharp, shooting pain down your leg, tingling or numbness, and weakness can make everyday life a struggle. But you don’t need to leave your comfort zone to find relief. Learn about what a home physio visit entails and why it's an effective way to manage sciatica.

Our specialist physiotherapist arrives fully prepared, bringing professional assessment tools straight to your door. The session begins with a detailed consultation, during which we explore your symptoms, medical history, and daily routines. This helps us pinpoint your pain and understand how it affects you personally.



Next comes a thorough physical assessment – measuring posture, spinal alignment, and leg strength. We may guide you through gentle mobility tests and targeted stretches to assess your range of motion. This data underpins a bespoke treatment plan tailored just for you.

Treatment might include hands‑on techniques like soft tissue massage, joint mobilisation, or nerve glides, designed to alleviate nerve compression and reduce inflammation. We’ll also show you easy-to-follow posture corrections and day-to-day adjustments so you can manage symptoms long after we leave.

A key focus is empowering you with personalised exercises to strengthen your core, improve flexibility, and support your spine. We carefully demonstrate each move, ensuring you feel confident practising at home. Before we wrap up, there’s always time for your questions and proactive advice for ongoing recovery.

By the end of the visit, you’ll have clarity, relief, and a road map for improvement. If sciatica’s holding you back, our compassionate home physio service brings proven, effective care right to you. Get in touch to book your visit today!
