sciatic nerve damage

How are you doing?

A friend of mine has had spinal surgery after damaging his sciatic nerve. It has been a couple years since, how should he approach barbell training after such an injury? does something like this require attention from a PT in person?

Hi Zane, keep reading through the material on this site, commencing the BBM NLP would be starting position providing no motor weakness exists and his ongoing symptoms are sensory only. If concerned a consult would be valuable for him even just from a reassuarnce / positive emotional perspective to ensure his framing of emotions, pain and training are set up correctly from the start
