If you place one leg up on the wall, while keeping the other extended on the floor, the hamstrings, calves, and connective tissues along the back of the raised leg begin to lengthen. But this can actually make your sciatica way worse because sciatica is a low back problem, not a leg problem. That tightness in your leg isn't tight muscles. It's nerve tension. And pulling on an already irritated nerve is a recipe for more pain. So instead, here are three perfect steps to address sciatica at the source. Come on. First, lay down on your stomach. Bring the painful leg out to the side and push up into extension as far as you can comfortably. This targets the disc on the side, reducing disc pressure and calming the nerve pain in your leg with every rep. Now that pressure is off the nerve, we want to target the nerve by laying on your side over a pillow, arching your lower back towards the ceiling. Then hold the painful leg and begin a sciatic nerve floss by extending the leg out and looking up, and then bending the knee and looking down. This is doing two things. The pillow arches your low back which opens the holes in the side of your spine where the nerve goes through to give them more space and reduce pressure. And the flossing motion helps mobilize the nerve through the greater space to free the nerve, improve blood flow, and reduce inflammation. And last, get on all fours. Spread the knees wide. Sit back as deep as you can to open the hips. And then rock forward while internally rotating one hip at a time. This unlocks your hips and pelvis to take pressure off your low back and sciatic nerve to help you move better for longer. These will help you fix your sciatica the right way.
