Two Years of Sciatica. It Stopped Him Training. One Session Changed Everything.
Rod had been dealing with nerve pain, walking difficulties, and electric shocks down his legs for two years. CrossFit was how he let off steam and felt like himself – and pain had taken that away. In one session, we found what had been driving it.

Before
Rod had been in serious pain for a couple of years. Sciatica-type symptoms that made walking difficult, that stopped him training with any intensity, and that sent electric shocks down his legs every time he coughed. The kind of pain that doesn’t just hurt – it quietly dismantles the things that matter.
CrossFit was Rod’s outlet. The place he went to let off steam, feel strong, feel like himself. Pain had made that impossible. He was managing rather than living, getting through sessions rather than pushing them, quietly adjusting his life around something that wasn’t going away.
By the time he came to us he’d been living with it long enough that he’d stopped expecting it to fully resolve.
The First Session
We assessed the whole system – not just where the pain was presenting, but what was actually driving the nervous system’s protective response.
What we found wasn’t where Rod expected it to be. The sciatica-type symptoms, the nerve pain, the electric shocks – these were outputs. The nervous system doing its job of protecting an area it believed was still under threat. The session identified the root driver and began the process of resetting it.
By the end of that first session, Rod described the change as night and day. The tingling was gone. The electric shocks when coughing had stopped. The thing that had been a constant presence for two years had shifted in a single appointment.
A follow-up session addressed his shoulder mobility as well – a separate issue that had been quietly limiting him, resolved in the same way.
After
Rod is back training. CrossFit is back on the table – not managed, not modified, but properly back. The outlet that pain had taken away from him is available again.
Two years of symptoms. One session to find the cause and begin correcting it. That’s not unusual when you’re looking at the right thing.
What This Means For You
Sciatica is one of the most commonly mismanaged conditions in conventional treatment. The pain is real, the nerve involvement is real – but the driver is almost never where the symptoms are presenting. That’s why so many people spend months or years treating the wrong thing and wondering why nothing sticks.
If you’ve been dealing with nerve pain, sciatica, or referred symptoms down your legs – especially if you’ve already tried physio, osteopathy, or chiropractic without lasting results – there’s a strong chance the root cause hasn’t been identified yet.
The diagnostic first session is where we find it.
