Introduction
Sciatica is a common condition characterised by pain that travels from the lower back down to one leg. It results from irritation or compression of the sciatic nerve and is often triggered by prolonged sitting, poor posture, or physical strain. At JANMI Soft Tissue Therapy in Marylebone, our comprehensive approach—integrating sports massage, trigger point therapy, myofascial release, postural corrections, and rehabilitation exercises—provides both effective pain relief and long-term recovery.
What is Sciatica?
The sciatic nerve is the largest in the body, running from the lower back through the hips and down each leg. Sciatica occurs when this nerve becomes compressed, leading to radiating pain. Common causes include:
Herniated Discs: A bulging or slipped disc pressing on the nerve.
Piriformis Syndrome: A tight piriformis muscle irritating the nerve.
Postural Imbalances: Poor pelvic and spinal alignment increasing pressure on the nerve.
Symptoms of Sciatica
Sharp, shooting pain along the leg
Numbness or tingling in the affected limb
Weakness in the legs or difficulty standing, walking, or sitting
Reduced flexibility and movement due to pain
How JANMI Therapy Helps
We tailor our therapy to target both the symptoms and underlying causes of sciatica. Our key techniques include:
Sports Massage
Relieves tension in the lower back, glutes, and hamstrings, improving circulation and reducing inflammation.
Trigger Point Therapy
Identifies and releases muscle knots in the piriformis and lower back to alleviate nerve compression.
Myofascial Release
Loosens tight fascia around the lumbar spine and hips, enhancing mobility.
Postural Corrections
Focuses on restoring pelvic alignment and spinal stability to prevent further nerve irritation.
Rehabilitation Exercises
Strengthens core and gluteal muscles to improve posture, spinal support, and movement efficiency.
Patient Success Stories
Clients experiencing sciatica often report significant pain relief and greater mobility after just a few sessions. With the addition of personalised exercises and self-care techniques, many achieve long-lasting recovery.
