Sciatica is one of the most popular causes of lower back and leg pain. It happens when the sciatic nerve—the longest nerve in the human body—is irritated or compressed, causing discomfort that can radiate from the lower back to the foot. If you deal with this pain and have been suggested exercises but don’t know where to start, here are three simple and safe movements that can help reduce the discomfort.
Exercise 1: Twist with glute stretch
This exercise helps ease tension in the lower back and gluteal muscles, which often compress the sciatic nerve.
How to do it:
Sit on the floor or on a mat.
Cross the affected leg over the healthy leg.
Hold your knee with both hands and gently pull it toward your chest, while twisting your torso to the opposite side.
Hold this position for 15 seconds , breathing deeply.
Slowly return to the starting position.
Repeat this exercise 3 to 4 times , as long as it does not cause discomfort.
Exercise 2: Lying hamstring stretch
Ideal for releasing tension in the back of the thigh, which is often abbreviated and tight in people with sciatica.
