Learn about Sciatica:

Sciatica is a term used to describe pain that radiates along the path of the sciatic nerve, which extends from the lower back through the hips and buttocks and down each leg. It is not a condition in itself, but rather a symptom of irritation or compression of the nerve.

Symptoms:
The experience of sciatica can vary, ranging from a dull ache to a sharp, burning pain, and may also include tingling, numbness, or muscle weakness in the affected leg.

Causes:
One of the most common causes of sciatica is a lumbar disc herniation, where a spinal disc bulges or ruptures and places pressure on the nerve. Other contributing factors can include spinal stenosis, which involves narrowing of the spinal canal, degenerative changes in the spine, or muscular issues such as tightness in the piriformis muscle located deep in the buttock. Lifestyle and mechanical factors—such as prolonged sitting, poor posture, improper lifting techniques, and low levels of physical activity—can increase the likelihood of developing symptoms.

Management:
Management of sciatica is typically conservative and focuses on relieving symptoms while addressing the underlying cause. Physiotherapy plays a key role, often involving tailored exercises to improve flexibility, strength, and spinal stability. Education around posture, movement patterns, and activity modification is also important. Manual therapy techniques may be used to reduce joint stiffness and soft tissue tension. Remaining active is generally encouraged, as extended bed rest can delay recovery. Surgical intervention is usually considered only when conservative measures have not been effective, or when there is significant nerve compression leading to worsening neurological symptoms.

Early assessment and appropriate management can help reduce pain, improve function, and support a quicker return to normal activities.

Today we recognise World Day for Safety and Health at work.

This day, recognised by the United Nations, aims to prevent accidents and diseases at work.

As physiotherapists we assist numerous patients each week with recovering from work related injuries, preparing to return to work, and completing workplace assessments with the aim to reduce the risk of injury.

Our clinic team are proud to support our patients across all facets of life, and we’re here when you need us.

They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old:
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning
We will remember them.
Lest we forget.

We will be closed on ANZAC Day as we pay our respects and remember those who have fought for our country, and those that continue to serve.

Plantar Fasciitis

Plantar fasciitis is one of the most common causes of heel pain. It involves irritation, degeneration or tearing of the plantar fascia—a thick band of tissue that runs along the bottom of your foot, connecting your heel to your toes and supporting the arch of the foot.

Symptoms:
The hallmark symptom is a sharp or stabbing pain in the heel, especially with your first steps in the morning or after long periods of sitting. The pain often eases as you move, but may return after prolonged standing, walking, or exercise.

Potential causes:
Plantar fasciitis typically develops from repetitive strain rather than a single injury. Common contributing factors include increased activity such as running or prolonged standing, poor footwear with inadequate arch support, tight calf muscles or Achilles tendon, flat feet or high arches, excess body weight, or poor strength in the calf and foot muscles.

Treatment:
Most cases improve with conservative care. Modifying your activity is vital to allow the irritated tissue to rest and heal. Wearing supportive footwear often is very beneficial, as this can help support the arch and take load off the plantar fascia. A strengthening and stretching regime focussing on weak or tight muscles is also vital for plantar fasciitis rehabilitation. Improvements can be made in 6 to 12 weeks for some people with plantar fasciitis. However, some cases can take up to 18 months if the condition is chronic or severe.

Importantly, if heel pain is ongoing, early management can make a big difference—don’t ignore it.

While school holidays are the perfect time of year for road trips, these long journeys in the car may leave you feeling stiff. 🚗🚙

Here are three easy stretches you could try. We suggest stopping every 90 minutes to have a movement break.

1. Hip flexor stretch
Step one foot back into a gentle lunge, keep your chest tall and gently push your hips forward to feel a stretch at the front of the of your back leg.

2. Hamstring stretch
Rest one heel on a curb or step. While keeping your leg straight, hinge forward from your hips to stretch the back of the leg.

3. Standing spinal twist
Stand tall with your feet hip-width apart. Gently twist your upper body to one side while keeping your hips facing forward. Stop when you feel a light stretch through your back, then return to centre and repeat on the other side.

Hold each stretch for as long as feels comfortable, move slowly, and listen to your body. Stop immediately if you feel any pain, and consult a physiotherapist for more individualised advice.

Stay safe on the roads!

Did you know that around 90% of lower back pain cases are “non-specific”? 🤔
This is a term used in research to highlight that most cases of lower back pain cannot be attributed to a specific underlying condition eg. a fracture, infection, or major nerve compression.
For those with lower back pain it means there could be a range of complex interactions between tissues, movement, nervous system sensitivity, and psychological factors that could be contributing to your pain.
