Sciatic Pain

[Hallamshire Physiotherapy]

As he maintains his lumbar spine in an extension position and then trying to rotate in this extreme position he is stressing a certain motion segment. Teach him to play golf with a slightly flexed lumbar spine. As he develops a more neutral spine his ability to rotate painfree will probably improve. Mobs/manips will only have a short term effect (as in most cases of chronic problems from my clinical experience) if you don't address his habitual movement pattern first.

Perhaps consider core stability programme. As mentioned above, retrain and educate the patient's resting posture and movement pattern. Also rule out SIJ involvment as pain A and pain B could also be SIJ referred.
