Sciatica is pain that travels along the sciatic nerve, starting in your lower back and running down one or both legs. The good news is that physiotherapy is often one of the most effective ways to treat it and get you moving more comfortably again.
Because our feet and ankles work harder than any other part of the body, it’s no surprise that pain in these areas is so common. The good news is that physiotherapy offers an effective way to ease discomfort and keep you moving with confidence.
