For Those Of You Sending DMs About Sciatic Pain - TRY THIS
Sciatica is caused by pressure on the sciatic nerve, often due to tight muscles in the glutes. To address this, my preferred method is to first go in with a ball and find some sensitive spots in the glutes, work those out then any kind of stretch through the glutes like the seated figure-four stretch or pigeon pose.
These 2 are highly effective and if you can’t get into a pigeon you can try using a block or using an incline bench at the gym to regress it.
These stretches target the piriformis muscle, which can put pressure on the sciatic nerve when tight, leading to the pain radiating down your leg.
In addition to that the glute ball work will help relax the muscles but also potentially work on trigger points/ knots that have a referral pain pattern similar to sciatica, so you might actually not even have true sciatic pain.
Incorporating strengthening exercises into your routine is equally important. Glute bridges and clam exercises strengthen the muscles that support your hips and lower back, reducing the likelihood of sciatica returning.
By stabilizing these areas, you can relieve the pressure on the nerve and prevent flare-ups.
Incorporating a mix of mobility and strengthening exercises is crucial for managing and preventing sciatica.
Daily practice of targeted stretches and corrective exercises will improve flexibility and strength, providing long-term relief and allowing you to move freely without pain.
