[Lecture Recording] Sciatica: Confident Diagnosis and Management

If you see patients with sciatica and:

You struggle to guide and reassure them
You're unsure when to refer
You worry you might be making the wrong diagnosis

Then this lecture recording will help.

You already feel confident assessing and managing some conditions, and sciatica can be one of them. Your patients can leave the clinic room feeling reassured and optimistic.

In this one-hour recorded lecture, you’ll learn the crucial things to look out for on assessment, plain-language phrases that steady the room, practical techniques to give patients relief, and clear thresholds for referral.

You’ll also receive a crib sheet (PDF) that summarises the session. Handy to check before you call your next patient with 'possible sciatica?' from the waiting room.

Format: On-demand recording of a live Zoom lecture (60 minutes).
Originally recorded Dec 2025. Watch at your own pace.

From the author of Understanding Sciatica and Cauda Equina Syndrome: The MSK Clinician's Guide.

This lecture is not for clinicians who already have a special interest in sciatica, or who are seeking advanced or subspecialist content.

Team access allows sharing the recording and crib sheet internally within one clinic or team.

Complex subject made simple

Tom is very knowledgable, and although it was my first time visiting one of his CPDs, I believe it will not be the last. He broke down the subject in very simple pieces making it easy for those with no experience at all to understand. For myself, who has experience in the area, made it easier for me to explain to patients and for me to be able to dfiferentially diagnose better! Well done Tom and THank you

Very clear useful training

-Very clearly presented.
-Useful information on differential diagnosis, prognosis and pathology.
-Good tips on educating patients regarding this condition.
-Covered the evidence for treatment and when to refer on which was very useful.
-If there had been time maybe DGPS could have been added to differential diagnosis section.

Valuable Information

Tom does a great job of combining general knowledge and research to provide valuable information for any Physical Therapist working with sciatica patients. On a personal level, his book (and now lecture) have helped my own management of a nasty disc herniation. The lecture provides actionable education/treatment options in the clinic immediately, and I look forward to any future content.
