9 Stretches to Alleviate Sciatica

Sitting Spinal Stretch

Typically, the sciatica pain is due to compression of the vertebrae in the spine. Due to this stretch, a space in the spine opens up to relieve the sciatic nerve’s pressure. Here are the steps to follow:

  1. Begin by sitting straight in the ground with the legs extended out with the feet flexed upward
  2. The right knee needs to be in a bent position. The foot needs to be flat on the ground on the outside of the other knee.
  3. Move your left elbow outside of the right knee to assist in gently turning the body to the right.
  4. Stay in that position for half a minute, and do that process thrice and switch sides.
