Sciatica Relief

This stretch that targets the Piriformis and may help relieve those symptoms.

Stretching the Piriformis muscles can reduce both Sciatica and Lower Back pain.

It also helps reduce tightness in your hamstrings, glutes, and even a little bit of your calf muscles.

Safety:

Stop if you feel pain while doing this stretch. It is meant to relieve minor soreness or tightness, not to increase your pain levels. If it does cause you pain, your legs feel weak or numb STOP!

Performance:

While laying on your back on the floor.

Cross the right leg over the left, with the right ankle resting on the left knee.

Slowly lift the left foot off the floor and toward you while you apply gentle pressure to the inside of the right knee.

Hold 20 to 30 seconds, and repeat on the other side.

Again, start slowly, apply the stretch gently and repeat as needed. Don’t overdo it the first time. If this provides you some relief, add it to your daily mobility routine.

Hope this helps!
