This study aims to evaluate the whether receiving physiotherapy early after onset of the problem is better than waiting a few weeks to see if it gets better before starting physiotherapy. 80 people with sciatica will take part in the study, half of which will receive physiotherapy 2 weeks after seeing their G.P. The other half will receive physiotherapy at the usual time, around 6 weeks after seeing their G.P.
