Sciatica is when the sciatic nerve, which runs from your hips to your feet, is irritated. It usually gets better in 4 to 6 weeks but can last longer.
Symptoms
Backs of your legs, butt, feet and toes will be painful, the pain may be stabbing, burning or shooting, tingling – like pins and needles or numb
Your symptoms may be worse when moving, sneezing or coughing.
How you can ease the Pain.
To help relieve your pain and speed up your recovery:
Do:
Carry on with your normal activities as much as possible
Regular back stretches
Gentle exercise as soon as you can.
Heat packs to the painful areas
Ask your pharmacist about painkillers that can help – paracetamol on its own is unlikely to relieve your pain
Don't:
Do not sit or lie down for long periods – even if moving hurts, it's not harmful and can help you get better faster
Causes
Sciatica is due to something pressing or rubbing on the sciatic nerve.
Slipped Disc (the most common cause) – when a soft cushion of tissue between the bones in your spine pushes out
Spinal Stenosis - narrowing of the part of your spine where nerves pass through
Spondylosis – when one of the bones in your spine slips out of position
Back injury
Treatments from a GP
Exercise and stretches
Prescribe painkillers that help with nerve pain like sciatica
Physiotherapy – including exercise advice and techniques like massage
Physiotherapy from the NHS may not be available everywhere and waiting times can be long. Try Pilates
Pilates involves building strength from the inside out, with strong abdominal and back muscles leading to overall physical strength. That's why it can be so effective for a condition like sciatica. Pilates for sciatica helps build up the deep muscles that can help provide support to the sciatic nerve

Switch on your Brain through exercise.The part of the brain that responds strongly to exercise is the hippocampus.
The benefits of exercise come directly from its ability to reduce insulin resistance, inflammation, and stimulate the release of growth factors—chemicals in the brain that affect the health of brain cells, the growth of new blood vessels in the brain, and even the abundance and survival of new brain cells.
Reformer Pilates is an impact-free workout that strengthens and relaxes your muscles. In addition, it is also a mindful practice that can improve your brain function.
Concentration focuses on the connection between mind and body, which helps bring out more of the physical and mental benefits of Pilates
Putting your Brain in your Body
Joseph Pilates’ famous quote – “It is the mind that builds the body”
There are plenty of good reasons to be physically active. Big ones include reducing the odds of developing heart disease, stroke, and diabetes.

Lower back pain is one of the leading causes of disability and sick days, costing the UK more than £10 Billion a year.
People with back pain, tend to move less. Blood flow needs to be stimulated and muscles stretched to encourage healing and improve movement. Your spine can misalign due to lack of activity. (If you have a serious medical back problem, seek your Doctors advice)
Pilates is recommended to help ease and prevent back pain. The strong focus on core (deep abdominal) strengthening creates stronger support muscles for the spine. Low back pain is often caused by structural imbalances in the spine. If you are sat at a desk for hours on a daily basis
Our bodies are not made to sit for extended periods of time, but when your office job calls for you to sit at a desk for hours on end, “you tend to hunch forward, your neck protrudes, and there’s eye strain. It’s stress that goes through your whole body.”
Pilates exercises target and switch the deep core muscles on, and builds strength in the support system of the spine.
