Exercise for Sciatica
This exercise for sciatica may be helpful in the early stages. Stand up and arch your back over your hands. Don’t push too far at first – build up gradually.
This exercise should not worsen your pain. Particularly it should not worsen any leg pain you may have. Successful exercises for sciatica should gradually reduce the symptoms in your legs.
If you find that your sciatica symptoms are worsening then stop the exercises immediately and seek some more help.
Not all of these exercises are suitable for all people with sciatic back pain - you need to get the right ones for you.
If your physiotherapist agrees try a few minutes of these exercises on and off throughout the day.
