Compression-point assessment
We identify whether your sciatica originates in the spine, the piriformis, or both — and treat accordingly.
A specific protocol
for nerve pain that won't quit.
Why a specific protocol
Sciatica isn't a generic back problem.
Sciatic pain has a specific anatomy. It originates where the sciatic nerve gets compressed — often in the lumbar spine or piriformis — and refers down the buttock and leg. Generic stretching can make it worse if you target the wrong site.
Our protocol was built by physicians who treat sciatica daily. It opens space at the compression point first, then progressively loads the nerve so it tolerates movement again.
What’s inside
What you get when you book Sayf.
Phased stretch progression
Week 1 opens space. Week 2 builds tolerance. Week 3+ loads the nerve under control.
Hands-on flex pro
Sciatica patients especially benefit from assisted stretching — you can't get the same depth or angle alone.
Take-home routine
A focused 8-minute home routine that won't aggravate the nerve. Most patients do it morning and night.
Laser add-on (optional)
Low-level laser on the compression site can dramatically reduce inflammation between visits.
Physician oversight throughout
If something flares or doesn't improve in two weeks, our physicians review and adjust your plan.
Your visit
From walk-in to take-home plan.
01
Intake + screen
We confirm sciatica and rule out anything that needs imaging or a referral first.
02
First session
Light, opening stretches. We don't push range yet — we settle the nerve down.
03
Build tolerance
Sessions 2–6 add controlled load. Most patients feel a clear shift by the end of week 2.
04
Maintenance plan
Once the acute pain is gone, we move you to a monthly maintenance cadence.
