Mum, Don’t Wait Until You’re Bedridden: Simple Steps to Stop Sciatic Pain in Its Tracks

26/3/2025

Being a mum is a full-time job — one that doesn’t come with sick days. Between school runs, laundry, feeding little mouths, and trying to find five minutes for yourself, it’s no wonder so many mums ignore the aches and pains that come with the territory.

But here’s a story we don’t want you to repeat.

One of our patients shared what happened to her sister — a busy mum of two. She had some sciatica after giving birth, which she brushed off. She thought, “It’s just from picking up the kids,” or “Maybe it’s the epidural,” and kept pushing through.

One morning, she bent over to pick up a toy, and her back gave out. Just like that — she was stuck. Literally bedridden. For four long months.

She couldn’t look after her kids. Couldn’t get up off the couch. She was in too much pain to be treated. Even the idea of someone touching her back terrified her.
That doesn’t have to be your story.
​
If you’re waking up sore, not feeling rested, and crawling to the end of the day exhausted and aching, here are 3 simple things you can do right now to help relieve and prevent sciatic pain:


1. Go for a 30-minute walk each day.
Movement is medicine. Walking gently mobilises the spine and improves circulation.
2. Use a foam roller on your hips and legs.
Releasing tension in the hips, hamstrings, and quads can ease the pressure on your lower back and sciatic nerve.
3. Use a tennis ball to release your glutes and piriformis.
This is a game-changer. Tight glutes or piriformis muscles can irritate the sciatic nerve — this DIY release can bring major relief.



If you're a mum and you're already feeling that familiar pull or ache down your leg, please don’t wait until it’s too late. We’re here to help — gently, effectively, and with care tailored to you.
