Sciatic pain is often described as a mechanical issue but in many cases, it is a nervous system experience.

While muscles, discs, and posture may influence symptoms, the way the nervous system responds to stress, protection, and perceived threat plays a central role in how pain is felt and maintained.

This gentle companion guide explores:

• What sciatica really is
• Why the body may be holding protective patterns
• How Spinal Flow supports nervous system regulation
• Why safety matters before stretching
• What you may notice during care
• How sacral and pelvic support can influence the sciatic pathway

Rather than forcing release, this guide explains how working with the nervous system can help the body soften naturally restoring ease from within.

If you are experiencing acute, recurring, or unpredictable sciatic pain, this resource offers reassurance, understanding, and a calm place to begin.
