Ideal for releasing tension in the back of the thigh, which is usually shortened and tight in people with sciatica.
How to do it:
Lie on your back on a comfortable surface.
Bring the affected leg toward your abdomen.
Hold it below your thigh, and slowly stretch your knee as far as you can without straining.
Flex again and repeat the movement.
Do 10 repetitions, and perform 3 sets with
rest between each one.
🪑 Exercise 3: Seated piriformis stretch
The piriformis muscle can press on the sciatic nerve if it is tight. This stretch seeks to relieve that pressure.
