Sciatica Physiotherapy at Your Home

Sciatica causes pain that radiates from the lower back through the buttock and down the leg, often making sitting, standing, and walking painful. FlexAura connects you with HCPC-registered physiotherapists who specialise in sciatica treatment and deliver expert care at your home.

Our physios use a combination of manual therapy, nerve mobilisation techniques, and targeted exercises to reduce sciatic pain, improve mobility, and address the underlying cause. Home visits are particularly beneficial when sciatica makes travelling to a clinic extremely uncomfortable.

Sciatica Physiotherapy — FAQs

What is sciatica?
Sciatica is pain caused by irritation or compression of the sciatic nerve, which runs from the lower back through the buttock and down each leg. It can cause sharp, shooting, or burning pain, along with numbness, tingling, or weakness.
How long does sciatica take to heal?
Most sciatica episodes improve within 4-8 weeks with appropriate treatment. Some cases, particularly those caused by disc herniation, may take longer. Physiotherapy can significantly speed up recovery.
Can physio cure sciatica?
Physiotherapy is one of the most effective treatments for sciatica. While it addresses the underlying cause and relieves symptoms, complete resolution depends on the specific cause. Most patients experience significant improvement.
Should I rest with sciatica?
Brief rest during acute flare-ups is fine, but prolonged bed rest can make sciatica worse. Gentle movement and specific exercises prescribed by your physiotherapist are usually the best approach.
When should I see a doctor for sciatica instead of a physio?
Seek medical attention if you experience loss of bladder or bowel control, numbness in the groin area, or severe weakness in your legs. These may indicate a serious condition requiring urgent medical care.
How much does sciatica physiotherapy at home cost?
Initial home assessments start from £95 (60 minutes). Follow-up sessions from £90 (45 minutes). Online consultations from £45.
