The Best Sciatica Stretch to Get Fast Relief for Sciatic Nerve Pain

http://www.SukieBaxter.com This is the best sciatica stretch to use if you suffer from sciatic nerve pain, also commonly called sciatica or piriformis syndrome. This simple stretch eases sciatic pain by lengthening your lateral rotator muscles, through which your sciatic nerve runs. When these muscles get tight, as they do from sitting for long periods of time or activities like cycling that cause abnormal tension in the hip and butt area, they impinge the sciatic nerve, causing pain down the back of the leg that doctors refer to as sciatica.

Fortunately, no drastic measures need be taken to alleviate your sciatic nerve pain. Simply use this stretch daily to lengthen the muscles impinging on your sciatic nerve and your sciatica will disappear in no time!

Also, it's important to remember to move around a lot during the day, especially if you have the kind of job that keeps you sitting for long periods. Sitting creates tension in the hips and can cause sciatic nerve pain. If you must sit for long periods, take frequent breaks. Even getting up to walk around the office for five minutes every two hours makes an enormous difference and can be just the ticket to avoiding future sciatic nerve pain.

tried it but it doesn't work, I've seen a much better exercise on youtube that does work.

@Hertsman50 Great! Glad you found exercises that are working for you. Not every stretch will work for every person - the body is not a machine like a car, so figuring out what's causing your problems is a bit of an art.

the FIRST thing you have to explain, is HOW you will get on the floor with a full blown sciatica. IT IS IMPOSSIBLE.

@shanna1950 Hi Shanna, if you're in SERIOUS sciatic nerve pain, you might be slightly beyond this stretch. Try sitting in a chair with a flat, firm seat, cross one ankle over your knee and gently use your hands to press the bent knee toward the floor. Keep your spine straight. This is an alternative that will stretch the same muscles. You might also be at the point of needing professional help - bodywork, chiropractic, etc.

I woke up the other morning with serious sciatica pain. I quickly went on YouTube and found your video..I literally was better as soon as I was done stretching. I don't exercise regularly so my hand was under my knee (thanks for that alternative) but I was able to go about my day pain free! Had to do it again this morning and again, worked like magic! Thank you so much!!!

@stephc71 FANTASTIC! Thanks for the feedback - it makes my day to hear that this stretch worked for you and you're going on pain free! :-)

Scretch is great but definitely not fat guy friendly! LOL

This stretch helped me tremendously within a day of doing it. Not one of the five doctors I saw suggested exercise at all; in fact, I was told not toexercise till the pain went away, and also to undergo an expensive MRI and prepare for surgery! The frauds! Thank you Suzie and all the great girls and guys who upload the videos which prove of such great help to desperate people. Once again, thanks a lot Suzie!

Your video has helped me a lot. For getting around what do you think is the best exercise for someone suffering sciatica; walking or riding a bicycle? Thanks.
