Why one session will not fix sciatica.
Sciatica is a pattern, not a spot. Nerve irritation, a stiff lower back and a glute that has stopped pulling its weight feed each other, and they built up over months. One massage can calm the symptom for a day. Getting rid of it means working the cause, in order, over a course of treatment.
If you want a single rub, we are honestly not the clinic for you. If you want it dealt with properly, read on.
THE PROGRAMME
The Sciatica Recovery Programme.
Your assessment, your plan, and a course of hands-on soft tissue treatment over eight to ten weeks, worked in order with the same practitioner. We assess what is driving your sciatica, release the tissue holding the pattern in place, and rebuild the load so it holds. The hands-on treatment is what shifts the problem; your home exercises hold the gains between visits.
Assessment.
We find what is driving your sciatica: which structures are restricted, which are overworking, and how the pattern built up.
Tension Release.
Hands-on soft tissue work on the tissue holding the pattern in place: lumbar, gluteal, and neural pathways.
Strength Rebuild.
A loading plan that retrains the tissue so the pattern does not return, with exercises you do between visits.

Reviews
What our clients say.
Verified reviews from Google, Fresha and Treatwell.
"I've had sports massage from probably eight different therapists over ten years of running. Alexander is in a different category. He explained what was actually happening in my IT band before touching it, which no one has ever done. Three sessions and the knee issue I'd had for two years is gone. I don't say that lightly."
Sarah M.
"Chronic upper back tension from desk work. I'd tried everything, osteopathy, physio, regular massage. Nothing stuck for more than a week. Alexander found a restriction in my thoracic spine that nobody had identified before and worked on it systematically across four sessions. Six months later and it hasn't come back."
James T.
"Booked the clinical assessment because I'd been told different things by three different physios and had no idea who was right. Alexander's assessment was the most thorough I've had. The written report explained my shoulder issue in a way I actually understood. The treatment plan was logical, not generic. Worth every penny just for the clarity."

A CASE FROM THE CLINIC
Nathaniel came in with sharp pain running from the glute down the leg towards the ankle, building towards a marathon. Stretching was not holding. The assessment found the leg pain was nerve pain, not a tight muscle: it reproduced on a straight leg raise and did not change after hands-on work. The real drivers were a flat foot pattern tilting the pelvis and stressing the lower back and the nerve. We stopped stretching into the nerve, switched to calming and gliding it, and corrected the pelvis and foot loading with arch and glute control work. The sciatica settled and Nathaniel is back to structured training for his half marathon.

When sciatica needs a doctor.
Some sciatica is disc-related and needs a doctor. We screen for the red flags at your assessment and tell you plainly if your case is one. We work alongside medical care, we do not replace it.
