If you’ve been stretching your glutes and massaging your lower back but still feel sharp, shooting pain down your leg, it may be your sciatic nerve letting you know something upstream is irritated.
In this video, Marissa Bingler, PT, DPT, from JAG Physical Therapy walks you through one move that may help take pressure off your sciatic nerve, so you can get back to walking and moving more comfortably. The best part? No equipment or setup needed. Just find a comfortable spot and follow along.
Try it once in the morning and again later in the day when you feel your sciatica start to flare up.
If your pain is severe or getting worse, or you’re feeling numbness or weakness in your leg, see a healthcare professional or book an appointment with JAG Physical Therapy in NJ, NY, or PA to find out whether physical therapy may be right for you.
