Treating Sciatic Pain

1 Hour CE/CPD | Online Course with Stuart Hinds

Sciatic pain is one of the most common complaints encountered by rehabilitation and manual therapy professionals, yet it is often misunderstood and oversimplified.

Treating Sciatic Pain provides a practical, clinically focused approach to understanding and managing the many causes of sciatic symptoms, including trigger points, soft tissue dysfunction, peripheral nerve entrapments, and movement-related contributors.

Presented by internationally respected sports massage therapist Stuart Hinds, this course combines manual therapy techniques, assessment strategies, therapeutic exercise instruction, and clinical reasoning to help practitioners work more effectively with clients experiencing sciatic pain.

Course Overview

This CE/CPD certification course explores the assessment and treatment of common forms of sciatic pain using a combination of soft tissue therapy, manual therapy, movement assessment, trigger point therapy, and therapeutic exercise strategies.

Participants will learn how trigger points may contribute to sciatic symptoms, how peripheral nerve entrapments can mimic or aggravate pain patterns, and how to develop a more complete understanding of the factors influencing client presentation.

The course integrates practical treatment demonstrations with therapeutic exercise videos designed to support long-term recovery, movement quality, and functional improvement.

Supported by video instruction, illustrated course materials, companion course content, lesson quizzes, final examination, certification, subtitles, and lifetime access, this course provides a structured framework for working with one of the most common musculoskeletal complaints seen in practice.
