What Is Sciatica? Recognising the Root of Sciatic Nerve Pain Mitcham & Aspendale Gardens, Victoria
Sciatica occurs when the sciatic nerve—the largest nerve in your body—is compressed or irritated, typically by a herniated disc, spinal misalignment, or tight surrounding muscles. This leads to a range of sciatic nerve pain symptoms, including:
- Sharp, radiating pain through the lower back, buttocks, and legs
- Tingling or burning sensations along the nerve’s path
- Muscle weakness, particularly in one leg
- Restricted movement, worsened by certain movements or inactivity
This condition can significantly impact the quality of life if left untreated.

Can't recommend the team at FSP enough. Ethan was an amazing physio for my ACL repair. He is very knowledgable and also incredibly patient. He would always adjust the program depending on the situation and would always listen to every little concern you have. The way he explains everything shows that he knows what he's talking about and also explains it in a way so that you can understand it properly. You can tell that he is very hard working and even with little sleep, he always delivers and is in general, very down to earth and easy to talk to. Cannot recommend him enough. I feel like my knee is definitely stronger than what it was prior to injury which is amazing. Thanks Ethan!

We have seen a significant improvement in my childs heel after just one consultation and the custom-made soles. He loves them and experiences little to no pain most of the time. These soles have definitely helped him heal back up by reducing the pressure on his heels. We look forward to his first intensive session thats coming up:)

My daughter had been struggling wirh really bad pain in her heel, stopping her from playing netball! Nothing was helping with the pain until we came to see Daniel at the Severs Centre in Mitcham. He thoroughly assessed my daughter’s heel and made her feel comfortable! My daughter came in with a heel pain of 7 and left with a heel pain of 0!Just want to thank Daniel for his exceptional service 10/10

My daughter joined FSP to improve her speed, endurance and strength while playing footy and netball. Full speeds customised program has really made a great difference in her performance and she loves going to gym.

Took my son after months and months of pain, struggling to walk and play sport! We had been to the podiatrist (nil relief)and another physio (which helped for a short time) so we were desperate for relief! The severs clinic have delivered!I was skeptical spending the dollars after what we had already spent, however after a good month in his shoes with the orthotics we now have clear relief and the pain has subsided! I feel his gait is improving again, and he is moving so much better on his feet! So thank you for this!

I came in for rehabilitation following an ACL injury. From the initial assessment to the final stages of my recovery, Daniel helped me navigate this challenging process.His genuine interest in his patients’ progress truly sets him apart. He takes the time to listen, answer questions, and address any of my concerns.I am thrilled to have made a full recovery, and I couldn't have done it without his guidance and support.

Daniel is friendly, listens, is thorough, explains everything in simple terms and keeps it simple with the rehab exercises. He knows what he's talking about. His rehab facilities are amazing, yet the take home suggestions are basic. I recommend him to anyone!

We recently purchased Sole Maid insoles for my son, who has been struggling with heel pain caused by Sever’s disease. I have to admit, I was a bit sceptical about whether they would actually work, but I’m so glad we bit the bullet and gave them a try. We saw results almost instantly!Since using the insoles, my son’s pain has significantly reduced, and he’s back to enjoying his sport without discomfort. The quality of the product is outstanding, and it’s clear a lot of thought has gone into designing them specifically for this condition.The customer service was also fantastic – Martin and the team were so helpful in advice and fitting the insole to my son’s shoes. I highly recommend Full Speed Performance and Sole maids to anyone looking for an effective solution for heel pain caused by Severs. Thank you so much!

After our 10yo daughter has suffered through 12 months of pain as the result of her severs and no relief from traditional treatments methods we visited the Severs Centre and went through the fitting process for the Solemaids inserts. We received these a week ago and our daughter was able to play 6 games of basketball over the weekend absolutely pain free. These inserts are a game changer!!

The team at full speed have been amazing in supporting my ACL rehab journey over the past 12 months.From Dan recommending an exceptional surgeon and supporting with pre-hab, to Martin for giving me exceptional support and guidance as my physio and Tom and the rest of the PTs for helping learn new exercises to support the journey.I've had a great recovery and will be getting back into skiing asap.

First came 3 years ago to complete my ACL rehab to which was successful thanks to the help of the staff here. Such down to earth people, making such a tedious process of rehab enjoyable, motivating me to push through such adversities. I’ve come back to do rehab for a torn hamstring, the place just keeps getting better with improved equipment and more staff. Couldn’t have asked for more.

My very active 9 year old daughter was diagnosed with severs disease around 6 months ago - she had however been suffering for over 12 months before she was diagnosed. The only solution she was offered for the pain was rest, which is virtually impossibly for any kid, let along an extremely active kid. The pain became so sever she could barely walk after school one day. After much googling I came across the Severe Centre and decided it was worth a shot. And what a great shot it was! She walked out of the appointment almost pain free apart from associated pain triggered by the heel pain. After 2 weeks her pain, which was around an 8 to 9 on the pain scale out of 10, was down to 2. She now can continue with all her sports pain free. The Soulmaids insole has been worth every cent!!

I came here at the end of last year with a back problem. I had a few physio sessions with Dan and was provided with great service and a wealth of knowledge. Unfortunately in those few months we weren’t able to fix the issue with just simple at home exercises. So he recommended the exercise program in the Full Speed gym.I then spent about 4 months doing the program and it was great time. Unfortunately I wasn’t able to fully fix my back issue as I had to end my membership for personal reasons. However, there was great improvements in my strength and pain overall. With Tom leading along with Chloe, Muon and Sam, I was truly taken care of.I can’t fault anything in the Full Speed team. The knowledge, care, attention to detail and constant assistance they provided was absolutely world class. Furthermore, their personalised detailed programs, consistency with their communication and community is something remarkable.I was treated with 110% care from start to finish.HIGHLY HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!

Such an amazing team! I contacted Dan on recommendation with an ACL/MCL injury. He was thorough with my MRI and listened when I wanted to avoid surgery if possible. After being accepted into the Cross Bracing Protocol method, Dan was super supportive through the whole process. He learned about and developed a program to suit my injury. My successful ACL repair has been helped so much by Dan's attention to the process. Highly recommend Dan and his fantastic team

I am extremely pleased with Dan's care and treatment of my knee injury. He was very professional and I appreciate how he explained the mechanics of the injury and treatment. In conjunction with the sports doctor at the clinic, and subsequent rehab program, meant the injury was treated quickly and strengthened to full health. Dan is now my preferred physio for any future issues.

I work with Muon at Full Speed Performance and he has been fantastic, I was able to do some full body strength testing to work out which muscles I needed to target and Muon created an easy to follow, specific and targeted program to work around injuries and help me reach my goals. Really supportive, easy to get along with and shows genuine interest in you and helping you reach your goals

Tom, Chloe and the team at Full Speed Performance are incredible. My athletic 16yr old recognised he needed to improve specific elements of his strength & speed for basketball. The entire process Tom & team has taken him through over the last +6months has played a massive role in many of his recent successes. Measurable, focused, purposeful and accurate training that we can confirm produces immediate & significant results. 100% would refer anyone and everyone who needs strength and speed training to this wonderful team of people

Tom and Chloe are amazing S&C coaches, as a Physio and S&C coach myself I would strongly recommend these two if you want to improve your performance in any given sport. They are also very knowledgeable coaches in regards to managing injuries and assisting in return to sport. Learnt a lot from you both, thank you!!

My son has severs and while he was trying to push on playing his soccer, he was well out of form and having trouble running. We saw Daniel and he fitted my son with Solemaids which provided immediate relief when running in his soccer boots. Daniel was great, very professional and helpful. Would recommend this service.

Started working with Dylan and Dan here for a suitable acl rehabilitation program as it’s the 2nd time round. They are both very knowledgeable in their respective fields and I feel very confident in recovering to achieve my goals by the time I’m finished. The equipment they have and even the technology at their facility is top of the industry. Would recommend coming in for some advice if you are wanting to excel and be at peak performance

After suffering a serious ankle injury a few months ago while playing for Nunawading City in Victoria’s NPL3, I was fortunate to undergo my rehab at Full Speed. I 100% recommend the experience I had with them. It’s a place with incredible professionals full of knowledge, who paid attention to every detail to achieve the best possible result. Specialized and high-tech equipment, weekly check-ups by a physiotherapist, a personalized program, and always professional support in a great environment to stay motivated during the process are some of the things I found at Full Speed. Big congratulations and thanks to Daniel and his entire team for the work they are doing. If you’re looking to improve your sports performance, recover from any injury, or simply improve your lifestyle, this is the right place.

My son has been suffering with severs and the pain was quite unbearable, which in turn, he missed out on many soccer training evenings and games. After seeing the great reviews with helping with severs, we decided to seek the help of Full Speed Performance.Dan was wonderful with his approach, explained how everything worked, and had the insoles on hand to not have to come back for another fitting.My son felt instant relief. The insoles have been amazing and he gets through his games and training with a simile on his face.The only thing is my son has an initial discomfort with the hump in the insoles which lift the heel, however that is short lived.Highly recommend.
Sam Tania
01:42 17 Jun 24
I'd highly recommend the rehab and athletic development program if you are someone with a recurring injury or muscular issue but don't know the steps needed to fix it.Dan and the rest of the staff at FSP have been great at putting together a program for me to work on an Iliotibial Band issue I've had for over 3 years. Their guidance along with all the equipment at their new facility provided me with everything I needed to identify weak points and begin the rehabilitation of my knee.I've really enjoyed working with the team and couldn't be happier with all their help!

My daughter had been suffering with severs disease to a really debilitating level. The guys at Full Speed Performance were able to quickly identify that the Solemaid inserts were going to be beneficial and they were absolutely right! She’s now playing and training pain free.Right from the initial contact, creating an appointment in their busy schedule to see her urgently, the service and expertise was incredible! Would highly recommend FSP and couldn’t be more grateful for their help 😊
Claire Jenkins

I was quite sceptical that these insoles would work for my 13 yo son’s severs, but after a week or two of getting used to them, he is back to a full load of sport each week with very little pain. We can’t thank Daniel enough for his professionalism, kind approach, expert knowledge and follow up. Highly, highly recommend.

After having surgery 8 weeks ago on my ACLI joined the rehab team at Full Speed Performance, under the care of Daniel (Physiotherapist) who came highly recommend by my surgeon, I am extremely happy with the team there and their commitment to my recovery. I feel they truly care about getting me back to doing what I love. I have a personalised rehab program and it is adjusted to my journey on the road to recovery.The facilities are great and my personalised program is working really well for me, I also enjoy meeting other people there who are going along a similar path. I would recommend anyone who has had ACL surgery or other injuries to Full Speed Performance, they are very professional and committed to each individual who seeks guidance to get back to life.Thanks to all the staff at Full Speed for your care.

We chose to go to full speed performance after I read about their possible solution for Severs!After Daniel confirmed my son indeed had Severs, him to try new insoles in his shoes at the appointment.One run without - pain 8/10, second run with insoles instantly down to 1/10 literally shocked my son, his reaction was the best!They have been a game changer for my son, who wasn't keen on the "rest approach", given the huge amount of sporting commitments he has!No more missed trainings/game time due to pain.Occasionally he has some overlaying ache after big matches but nothing like pre-insoles.Highly recommend Daniel!
Kylie MacDonald
10:09 24 Apr 24
Highly recommend!!! Our 12 y/o son had been suffering from severs disease for over 6 months. We tried the usual treatment options and visited multiple physios and podiatrists with little success. This was an extremely difficult time for this once active football player who had to cut back on his training load and suffer in pain. A few weeks ago whilst researching online I stumbled across a new product called Solemaids for severs. Daniel was the only authorised physio in Victoria who offered this service. In only one appointment Daniel had the solemaids measured, made and tested with 100% immediate pain relief. He was running and jumping with no pain! The smile on my sons face said it all. If your child is suffering from severs disease make an appointment now!

Hi Daniel,Rei has been feeling very happy with the insoles so far, as his heel has experienced no pain while playing football. (The only time he felt heel pain was when he got kicked directly)He started his season for his club Williams Landing yesterday and he provided an important assist for his team's first goal =)In that game, he completed 28 passes out of 31 attempts as a Central Attacking Midfielder.Sharing the video clip here below to show you the assist he made for his team's goal (and also the freedom of movement he's enjoying now)https://youtu.be/JnpdyP1_Xhs?feature=sharedThank you so much for the help you've given Rei. He's been playing with a big smile!Cheers,Nigel

I came to Full Speed Performance with a shoulder issue that had been ongoing and got to a point where I could no longer continue training (BJJ / Wrestling) as it got to its worst stages.I booked in with Daniel who from the get go went straight to trying to find the cause rather than treat the pain.After some assessments Daniel worked out what was going on quickly and gave me a bunch of exercises to do to build stability & strengthen the weak points that were leading to repeated injuries.My shoulder is now feeling 10x better, I’m training again and with proven testing methods Daniels shown how my weaker shoulder has almost caught up to my dominant side & has really helped a lot.I highly recommend this company, they have an incredible facility & really know their stuff.I’ll be coming back anytime I get injured in the future.Couldn’t recommend them enough!

Dan is amazing, really explained how everything worked & was really confident in the product. My son has struggled with his severs for many years & nothing seemed to work & was almost contemplating giving up the sport he loved due to the pain. The insoles have been amazing & have changed his sporting life. He wears them every day & feels no pain & can even get through a game of footy. Very impressed with this product & would highly recommend.

Incredible team with a specialised knowledge of football injuries and rehabilitation. It's the little details and professionalism that makes all the difference and gives me confidence that I'll be back on the pitch stronger. Specifically, their technology-driven testing protocol makes sure all my weaknesses are accounted for and addressed. Well worth the money and then some.

Dealing with chronic back/hip injuries across almost a decade of high performance sport, I've tried it all. Daniel and the team at Full Speed Performance are elite. Daniel is a class physio - he listens, doesn't just treat for pain as so many practitioners do and actually works to solve the problem at hand. The Full Speed facility offers the perfect space for rehab and injury management, if you're in the eastern suburbs I highly recommend Daniel and the crew.

I first saw Dan at Full Speed back in June 2023, as I had very bad ankle pain and I wasn’t able to find a solution with other medical professionals.Dan was amazing straight out of the gate, he supported me and regularly saw me for treatment and got me to get scans done straight away.After the issue with my ankle was diagnosed, I signed up to the membership plan with them (highly recommended) and started seeing Tom regularly for rehab exercise/training sessions. Tom was also amazing, very professional and experienced. He supported me through every session and him and Dan worked very well together to give me the best treatment, advice and support that I have ever received.I could not recommend Full Speed Performance enough, they are the best out there. Thanks again Dan and Tom 🙂

I have been training at Fullspeed for my post ACL recovery and have worked closely with Martin who has assisted me with my training and physio. I have also worked closely with Muon and Tom who have both been great in the time I’ve been here. Ever since starting here, i’ve loved going to the gym to not only train but to socialise with all the good people here.

I use the gym at least 3 days a week as well as the Physio’s and S&C coaches as needed. Everyone has been absolutely brilliant to work with. A one stop shop for athletes of all ages when it comes to physio, rehab and general strength and conditioning. Loving it and looking toward to another injury free season after the team at Full Speed sorted out all my niggles 🙂

Highly recommend Dan and the team at Full Speed Performance. Dan goes to great length to help you understand the ins and outs of any issues you are having and the new facilities are great, allowing those who need rehab to do it under the expert guidance of Dan and Tom. Don't go anywhere else if you need any physio, rehab or training needs!

Some months ago, I developed lower back issues from gym. I went to see Daniel. At first, I was a little uncertain and skeptical he could help me. After seeing Daniel for 4 sessions (and gaining knowledge on targeted lower back exercises), I tragically caused an L4, L5 issue that a surgeon said I would need surgery for. Once the traumatic pain subsided, I decided to continue the regime that Daniel gave me. Not only have I recovered, but am thriving and continuing to increase PB's. Also, 7 months later, my surgeon looked at me with bewilderment and said I no longer needed surgery and to keep doing what I was doing. I am the fittest I have been in years. I want to praise Daniel on his methods and cant recommend him highly enough. I am transformed and I owe it all to Daniel. Thank you.

Saw Dan after my daughter had a bad ankle injury from netball. Honestly would not go anywhere else! Very thorough and clear about the injury, what is required to recover etc. My daughter completed her rehab onsite using their facilities (which are brilliant) and I think is the reason she has recovered so well. Completing her rehab onsite and under supervision meant that she completed her exercises safely and correctly - meaning they had the desired effect as quickly as possible. The testing throughout was great so we could really see the improvements she was making and know that she wasn’t doing exercises too soon that could possibly jeopardise her recovery. Absolutely believe her recovery would not be as strong or quick if she completed her rehab at home. She now understands so much more about how and what exercises to do to support her ankles and build strength etc which no doubt will improve her netball. Thanks Dan & Tom for all your support in getting her back to the sport she loves. You guys really provide such a brilliant service, above and beyond the standard.

During 6 months being injured and off the basketball court, my daughter was able to resume playing and build confidence through Tom at Full Speed Performance. So many other methods weren't working so I can't thank these guys enough for taking a chance on her being so young and making her feel so comfortable at their gym. Now she still attends twice a week to enhance her athletic ability and build more strength. Top notch professionalism & knowledge of sporting injuries and rehab
Leah Bishop
06:57 06 Sep 23
Tom has a comprehensive understanding of biomechanics and uses this to tailor a strength and conditioning program around the limitations of my injury. I’m always made to feel welcome and part of the team. Thoroughly recommend to anyone who’s looking for expert guidance in injury rehab or to take their sports performance to the next step.
Jess Drew
06:07 06 Sep 23
Finally decide to return to basketball this year after almost 10 years of ACL surgery, glad I found full speed performance team, Tom, Georgie and Dan has been super helpful from the beginning, explaining the gap I have with my full speed potential, care about any pain and discomfort I had with my game/training and tailed the strength exercise specifically to solve the problem, that makes me more confident and happy on the court. Can’t recommend them enough, amazing team. Thank you so much!

In April 2023 my son could barely walk off the pitch from knee pain, he was told to go home home and stop playing the sport he loves most until the pain goes away. The team at Full Speed Performance not only helped him through his recovery, but he continued to play and thanks to Daniel, Tom and the Full Speed team he is better and stronger than ever !! Have absolutely loved watching the recovery and growth. Thank you Full Speed.

This product allowed my son to finish his soccer season rather than sitting out on the bench. It’s such a clever design concept and well worth the investment.

I have been seeing Dan for years now, and recently completing an ACL rehab with him and tom has been amazing at Full Speed Performance. I could not recommend them enough, their support has allowed me to get back onto the pitch playing feeling confident that nothing will happen to my knee. The team is so caring, considerate and extremely knowledgeable. I can’t thank Dan and Tom enough for all they have done for me, Thanks guys!!
