Sciatica occurs when the sciatic nerve—the largest nerve in the body—becomes irritated or compressed, resulting in pain that radiates from the lower back down to the legs. One of the most common causes of sciatica is a herniated disc, where the soft tissue between vertebrae bulges out, pressing on the nerve. Another leading cause is spinal stenosis, a narrowing of the spinal canal that can compress the sciatic nerve, causing discomfort. Piriformis syndrome can also contribute to sciatica when the piriformis muscle in the buttocks tightens or spasms, irritating the nerve.
Other factors that can lead to sciatica include poor posture, prolonged sitting, or injuries that impact the spine, pelvis, or lower back. Individuals who engage in heavy lifting or repetitive movements are also at higher risk of developing sciatica. Understanding the underlying cause of sciatica is key to creating an effective treatment plan.

Blake is a very approachable and knowledgeable therapist. As a new client, his professional manner put me at ease immediately. He was very attentive as I explained my pain issues and then, after a thorough examination, provided a detailed outline of appropriate treatment to resolve them. I experienced a great reduction in my pain after the first two treatments. Blake demonstrates a level of personalised and follow-up care that I have never experienced with other practitioners. I have no hesitation in highly recommending Blake's services!
I have been visiting Nexus Bodywork for sometime now due to recurring issues from sporting activities. Blake has helped me through a lot of these in person and also with the advice he’s given me post treatment with detailed exercises. He has a very good understanding of the body movement and triggering of pain. This was especially important for me as someone who’s involved in a sport where I get niggling ongoing injuries or pain and I don’t know where it’s coming from. I like how he has used different methods of treatment which has helped a lot. Thank you Blake/Nexus!
I recently visited Nexus bodywork clinic and was treated by Sam. He was very concise and listened to my multiple concerns, and given the consult time limit, I am very impressed with his ability to get to all my aches and pains. The post-treatment plan was great to see the amount of care given in the aftercare of consultation. I have no problem recommending Sam, thanks so much
despite a somewhat difficult situation and having tried several physiotherapists, I can only say that I am satisfied with the path I have begun.. Francesca
I recently visited Nexus Bodywork Clinic for treatment of a persistent shoulder injury, and I couldn’t be more impressed with the treatment I received from Blake. From the start, he was professional, knowledgeable, and took the time to thoroughly assess my injury. Blake’s hands-on treatment made a noticeable difference in both mobility and pain relief after just a few sessions. He didn’t just focus on short-term relief but addressed the root cause of the issue, providing tailored exercises and practical advice to support my recovery. His expertise, attention to detail, and commitment to patient care set him apart. I highly recommend Blake and Nexus Bodywork Clinic to anyone needing high-quality treatment and long-term results.
I had a great session with Sam at Nexus Body Works. He is dedicated, knowledgeable, and genuinely cares about his clients. I had been struggling with chronic back and rotator pain and had tried other physiotherapy and massage treatments without much success. Sam quickly identified the root cause of my pain and worked on it effectively. After just one session, my pain decreased dramatically. Highly recommend his expertise to anyone looking for real results!
Blake is such a friendly and knowledgeable practitioner. He is so passionate about what he does and about helping people better their mobility, pain and quality of life. A big thank you for looking after me and applying a holistic approach with your post treatment exercises, advice and supplement suggestions too!
First visit today and was treated by practitioner Sam Noh. Sam was excellent, he understood my issues and achieved really great results with massage, dry needling and an after care program to target the trouble spots. Great professional communication. Thank you Sam highly recommend.
Absolutely fantastic and extremely knowledgeable massage therapist. I had been looking for someone to help my hip and back pain and in only one session with Blake my hip and back pain has gone from a 10 to a 2. Highly recommend Blake, a real top bloke. Please support his small business. I will be back, thanks Blake for giving me my mobility back and pain free. Superstar.
Blake was meticulous when going through your issues and gets to the bottom of it
