Sciatica / Lumbar Radicular Symptoms
Some lumbar spine conditions produce symptoms that travel down into the buttock, thigh, or leg due to nerve root irritation or compression. Physiotherapy carefully considers the symptom pattern, neurological findings, and functional limitations to design safe, directional-preference rehabilitation.
Common Presentations

- Tingling or altered sensation in foot/leg
- Back pain accompanied by leg symptoms
- Difficulty sitting, standing or walking
Assessment May Include
Comprehensive baseline clinical evaluation- Neurological screening (reflexes, dermatomes, myotomes)
- Strength and sensation when appropriate
- Movement testing and directional preference
- Functional assessment
- Response to repeated or relevant movements
Physiotherapy Management May Include
Multi-faceted therapeutic approach adapted to your recovery stageImprove walking and daily activity tolerance and restore strength and movement confidence.
