Pattern Recognition in Sciatica Pain

from Functional Rehab Podcast · host Dr. Ashley Mak, PT, DPT, CSCS

Dr. Ashley Mak delves into the complexities of sciatica, emphasizing that MRIs are not definitive indicators of pain. Instead, he advocates for understanding personal movement patterns through a structured approach of identifying what feels good, neutral, and painful. By creating a personalized pain inventory, individuals can better navigate their recovery process and find effective treatment strategies.
